Mahatma Gandhi
Civil disobedience as modus operandi
The British, oh so superior
Ended up on their right royal posterior!

In GANDHI,India most,
But the I first,lost,
MODI traced the I first,
From his name's last,
In Gandhi,India most,
But Modi made him lost!

Right and wrong are different,
All the rights are not rights,
All the wrongs are not wrongs,
Doing a wrong right,
Not wrong,
Lord Buddha and Gandhi,
Came right doing wrong!

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

The last survivor of the human race
Depicting General
Master and genius
Night time
Food alert
Dangerous flying
Nightly heavens
Packed ditch
Troy surrenders
Zeus is more
Gandhi falls
Hunger of a nation
When the time comes
General heat
To fly
For five hundred parts

You may conquer a nation
But can't this man ...
The one who
Stood in the midst of downtrodden's...
To free them from the shackles of darkness .
The one who led slaves
To free them .....
From the chained rein's
And has become their roar
For ever ...

As the most impenetrable darkness
It is dissipated by a single ray of light
So
An army of evil men is defeated
By a single virtuous man
For
He has Good on his side! *

* One has to think of Mahatma Gandhi and of Nelson Mandela among
thousand of other men in history!

When I tell you to build dams over rivers and seas,
To build bridges betwixt beings and make existence ease;
You laugh at me and politicize each one of my fights,
I don't quit; I don't accept failures; I am at my heights;
I am Gandhi, Nehru, Mandela, Luther, Lincoln, oh!
Who, on the paths of Jesus, Allah, and Ram always go..!!!

You honor poets by this day - this our souls require!
My far-off ancestral fire and I born in indenture (South Africa)
Still learned "NAMASTHE: I bow before your spirit!"
No handshakes needed, for higher things we aspire
In Mandela's Africa, where Indian & Gandhi no more inspire
But COVID-19 will perhaps unite us again, as Lincoln & King

Verse
He did not revolt; Gandhi offered him a method he despaired finding -
Mere men and women see darkly. One ethnic eye, one condescending
Great human beings are great human DOINGS, too. And forgiving ....
(c)Deo. Happy Dr. King Holiday to you. Shalom, shalom I say, as I also lift up the Memory of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, Dr. King's loyal friend.

Bio
South Africa salutes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr!
They gunned you down,
on this April day,
all those years ago,
yet you live, you breathe!
They gunned you down,
just as they did Chris Hani and M.K. Gandhi,
and they failed, as they always will,
for they can never kill,
your dream, your ideals.
Your dream, your ideals,
live, and breathe,
still!

Tagore and Gandhi were friends hearty,
Gandhi wrote once to Tagore neatly,
"Live long more and more other years twenty,
Wishing Rabindranath Tagore at his eighty,
"How can I carry a century,very heavy this eighty?
Replied Tagore,Mahatma Gandhi adding beauty,
Tagore went to God to carry by his hands at his Eighty,
Leaving a short message to this world of naughty!

Blank verse
may not be Socrates, can yet be wise,
may be not Gandhi, but you can be nice,
not like Elton, that does not make you hoarse,
any vista of life, be your own force,
may not be icing, you can still be cake,
in anything you do, be true, not fake!!

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

Hindus fighting Muslims, and brother slaying brother,
made peace to save his life, loved more than any other.
Dear Bapu, your greatest weapons, thereof ...
the power, nonviolence, the strength ... LOVE.

African politicians
They buy
Italian suits
When they really
Need shoes
I know
That is not making you
Guys
Smart
We need
Leaders
Not politicians
With bright suits
And bare feet
Guys
What happen
No more like Mandela
OR Gandhi
Our schools
Dry
OR mothers
Change their minds
I don't know
But we should think
What we need
Bright suits
OR
Pair of shoes
What people is need
Is genuine leaders
Not bad copy
