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

Mohandas Karamchand "Mahatma" Gandhi 
         Possessed a soul so fine and dandy 
Iconic Indian lawyer, ethicist, pacifist and sage 
     Assassinated in 1948 at 78 years of age

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!...

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!...

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...

They lived by the sword and they died by the sword

Sadaam Hussein
Osama Bin Laden
Jeffrey Dahmer

They didn’t live by the sword but died by the sword

Mahatma Gandhi
Martin Luther King
Trayvon Martin
Jesus Christ

A dichotomy, whose mystery is known only to the whim of human affairs.

Here in parochial Melbourne town,
Football causes many a frown,
Folk say, "Who do ya barrack for?"
I think, "What do ya wanna know for?"
Then I say, "Right back at ya!
I barrack for Jesus and Mahatma!"
Yes, let's barrack for our princes of Peace,
In our hearts, their dear souls to keep,
It might make our world a better place,
If we all had a serene smiling face,
To barrack for Jesus and Mahatma,
"There you go, right back at ya!"...

O! Mahatma Gandhi!
You taught us non-violence
But we slaughter easily
Our own sisters and brothers

We create an institution 
To promote your ideals 
Yet we subject to ordeal 
The destitute of our nation

Bride-burning and bribery
Casteism and untouchability
We puff in snobbery 
Losing our accountability

O! Mahatma! Do not weep and curse
This beloved nation of ours 
When the books of your messages 
Are used only for binding packages...

Every day is a page to write a new story.
It doesn't matter how many typos there
are in your story. History has a lot of typos
not only done by hap hazard folks,
but also people who were deified and given
sainthood. It doesn't matter what writing
style you use; John Lennon, Nelson Mandela,
Mahatma Gandhi....all had their own styles.
Blessed with a new day to live each sunrise,
is a moment to write a new story. A page
has to be written something.......

Loincloth was his dress;
Truth was his address.
Nonviolence was his armor;
A warrior and a perfect charmer.
A man of progress,
And an epitome of success.
He is the ‘Father of our Nation’;
He is our Mahatma!
