Gandhi Jayanti Poems Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Sprucing of Gandhi Statue At Gandhi Square (2nd of Oct.)

I saw them
Painting the life-size statue of Gandhi anew
At lonely Gandhi Square
Late into the night
When the world keeps sleeping
And the crossroads straying
Into darkness
And the jackals walking past,
Saw them readying for Gandhi Jayanti.

Gandhi Jayanti

On Gandhi Jayanti
I saw Gandhi
At Gandhi Square
Smiling simply

The Great Old Man
Telling about
Just like an apostle, a votary of
Truth, non-violence and peace.
