Mahatma Gandhi, An Icon Of The World! Poem by Ramesh T A

All praise the champion of non-violence, Mahatma Gandhi!
Before and after the independence of India is violence still
Causing great havoc and threat to world peace everywhere!
Definitely Mahatma was a miracle man among mankind!

Even now there's no soul as true and honest as Gandhi sure;
Foreign countries praise him and open statues of him ever;
God like such souls are indeed very rare to find in the world;
High in thoughts and simple in living he lived as a lord long!

Icon of Gandhi there is yet none born in this world of man;
Kings and queens of the world loved him as great friend;
Lacking self-confidence so many have sought his model
More than anybody else to imbibe in life to live true life!

No one has yet come to the top of the world to lead all men
Openly to talk all sans any secret and save society from pitfall!
Pure as gold he was noble from the beginning to the end....;
Questions none had to find fault with him being a legend star!

Read he Bhagavad Gita, Quran and Bible to lead spiritual life;
Seldom such a strong statesman one can see then and now sure;
Truth and nonviolence were his weapons to fight against injustice;
Universal brotherhood he followed to live one among world citizens!

Various leaders have come and gone, but none is equal to him ever;
World men wonder such a soul walked on this Earth now in awe;
X man he was sure as there was and is none so to see anywhere.....!

Years of hard toil he had made many fasts to be a mahatma unique;
Zeal of his spirit had not become weak and is still leading the world!
