Mahatma Gandhi Poems - Poems about Mahatma Gandhi


To the Godless Goons of Mob India

RamaRajya, Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent utopia of mutual tolerance, has no place for bigots who lynch and leech the Weak.

Lynch my body
Pinch my soul
Punch my pride
Drench my blood

Staunch be your henchmen
Bunch of bigoted hooligans
Flinch us they from progress
Wrench us they from justice

Exhaust every trick in your bag
Pull every arrow off your quiver
Bribe your cheerleaders forever
Swing your

Hate! Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states, "Driven out by the light."
 
Light of the world for humanity to see shining bright, eliminating darkness
Darkness, which

O Statue On Pedestal

Pray Bapu1, we’re in plastic age,
Stay happy installed, tall on stage.  

Too bad, your birthday prayer meets,
Rows of stark chairs staring in rage,

If your spinning wheels still rotate,
They just spin for a page-three page.

Your ideals may well still be there—
Safe and secured, captive in cage,

When so I see your smiling face
On a wall, O

Mahatma Gandhi

He is my role model
His life, an inspiration to me

Did some research on him
Since then am in awe of him

Empath at heart,
he dedicated his life in selfless service

Saw teeming millions without dress
Wore a simple dothi like them

Wherever he found people suffering
Took up their cause, fought for justice

Knew scriptures well, was therefore
always good in words, deeds

Ihmo Mahatma Gandhi

I applaud him for his ideals, specially non-violence.
Britishers beat him hard but he never retaliated back.
His deep knowledge of ancient scriptures made him aware violence
is bad. He knew however bad others maybe we should be good.
He disapproved of partition. He warned leaders it would lead to
major problems and it did. While other leaders celebrated
independence he

I Love the Song Mahatma Gandhi Loved

Shobana sings at the Mandapam in Chennai ... which I did not see
After all, my pilgrimage was only once, in 2003
He had cut his teeth in 1893 with apartheid & segregation
In Africa, where today it is a fad to find fault that he was but human
"They" expect Gandhi to have been perfect; high-caste he was,
Yet

Premium MemberManchester Suicide Bomber Gets More Attention Than Mahatma Gandhi

One week ago, a suicide bomber, a murderer took many lives at the Manchester Arena 
The police are hunting down his accomplices to subpoena 
It seems that the papers have nothing better to do than to show his face to us every day
Replaying each and every horrific moment to his families and relatives: including his

Premium MemberThe Remains of Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi came in Sonia’s dream
And asked her about his cap, specs and staff
That he gave at his death to Congress Team
She replied that the congress shares the half
My son wears cap in public to rebuff
Specs with the Prime Minister Manmohan
Only thing with me is staff to dethrone.
================================
P.S. :Sonia Gandhi is the President of Congress

(A double Rhyme Royal)

     Freedom is not worth the having…if not,
     it includes the freedom to make mistakes.
     Love the sinner, though not the sinner’s plot.
     Give freedom of expression, for soul’s sake,
     that persona’s
