Dear Bapu Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Dear Bapu*
You are fired upon through
Immorality and lies
What has happened to these parties?

You had dreamed to demolish
The congress party when freedom was cherished
The selfish workers disobeyed
You were certainly dismayed

That was different scene
India was then emerging new nation
With hope of providing lead
To the starving world

Bapu* you may be smiling there
With banning of Gandhi surname in future
We wish it to happen
Then only India shall be real heaven

Your name is cashed
No politician is shamed
He is not condemned either
As he has become lie master

Bapu they have become millionaire
Before few days they had no shoes and were poor
Now new imported cars and palatial residences
Corruption seen everywhere and made no misses

Why did you risk your life and took bullet on chest?
Was it necessary to make acid test?
Advise countrymen not to trust any more these Modern Gandhis
They are only after cushion gaddi* (seat)

Gandhi: - Father of Indian nation
Gaddi: - crown seat
