On this day, day
we reminisce our past,
Let this freedom last,
Deep in of Love hearts a flame is lit,
Of love and True Spirit;
Years ago, Gandhiji fought..
And brought back our freedom;
The ahimsa that he preached,
Reached miles and miles away.
The Dandi March he tread;
Spread the corrupt means and nature the Invaders.
He, made us strong.
And Instilled the spirit to "wrong".
Swaraj, he said. should be our 'MOTTO"',
And then, No one. would dare to,
Berate our Nation.
The values he had taught,
Has brought
about a new thought.
He put a stop to their Torment,
with his Civil Disobedience Movement.
He the valued the Truth,
And Pleaded the Youth,
To join their hands
And stand together unfazed.
To this day , everyone Bows,
To this day, everyone knows,
The Almighty Mahatma;
-who is our true Raina.
His made the all free national spirit has made the
Britishers Flee.
And , has made us all flee
Together we shall sing,
Together we shall Bring,
Peace & love to this land
And stand together
Let the Day begin! Happy Independence Day! Jai Hind!

Gandhi
Marched to Dandi
To fight against taxes on salt,
Non-violence was his axe in this assault.

As she lay on her knees
surounded by the these brown clored leaves
she gazed up high
so high
it was like she
was floating above
the sky
but a cold breeze
soon sent
sievers down her spine
shaking it off
she picks up
a dandi lion
she made her wish and threw it
sending it flyinging in the wind
the birds whistling
in sync
she starts to sing
you see
its not autum anymore
its spring
no more autum leaves
just a warm summer breeze

The saint of Sabarmati
Our great Mahatma Gandhi
Lived a life of simplicity
And marched towards Dandi
For India to attain freedom
He strived day and night
Even attained martyrdom
To keep our future bright
His Quit India movement
And call of ‘Do or Die’
Reminded Indians of their commitment
To the glorious days gone by
The great Mahatma passed away
Holding the entire nation in his sway
