Today my tears refused
to be imprisoned
while watching a film
on Gandhi's life
His unflinching, Godly resolve
moments of exhilaration and
plummeting despair
Christ-like love for Humanity
an example the world has
yet to follow
O' Gandhiji
Your sacrifice
and dedication will
never be forgotten
Like Jesus, Buddha and
all the great Mahatmas
you died with the name
of God on your lips
