# A Rise And Fall Of Humanity [india's Freedom] A Double Etheree Poem Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

this is the perfect form for this powerful and beautiful poem....and hopefully like the catterpillar/butterfly....change is always possible for the better.....bring back Ghandi, please!

this is such a nice and thought provoking poem. thanks for sharing. all great leaders have left and afterwards we have forgotton their lesson and exapmles of life. i wish we can change ourselves and become honest and brave.

sad sad truth expressed here...well composed etheree

You’ve chosen the double etheree (double tetractys) for a good theme…and done justice to it. Interestingly, this is some significant coincidence that I happen to read this during the birth month of the great soul. # 10.

Brilliant. Not just because of the form but also because Mahatma Gandhi is someone I am devoted to.10.

Dear Samanyan, Thanks for your invite to read and rate this poem. Nicely presented both in form and content. Good write always brings good marks so A10 Rajkumar (My comments are also in ten syllable counts)

India's freedom was brought through ahimsa but after sixty years of India's freedom, the foundation of Ahimsa and humanity are no more existent.Violence is very much prevalent in the country. Very thought provoking, nicely written poem.

What a cool form for a poem; and you have certainly done justice here; both to the form and to the poem.
