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.

experimented
          with 
                truth

fought
          for 
              freedom

fought 
          for 
              peace

breathless
         
              struggle

was

forced to
        stop
 
              breathing...

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 ...

                           ....

Not like the Mona Lisa 
A bit like father time
Does not smile like Gandhi

This luminous messenger of God
Belong to the world
Missionary of Charity, a “mother to the poor,”

“If you give me rice, I’ll eat today; if you teach me how to grow rice, I’ll eat every day.”
- Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

soil rich, fertile, warm
puddled field, drained well, weeded
panicle to grains
gently harvested

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! *

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...

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....

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!...

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!!
