Gandhi The Greatest Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

He is the freatest among the greats,
Fighing opprssion with non-violence,
Experimenting with his own life,
Even in sex at his times where
Sex was a taboo world across.
So great was the love he created,
the whitemen never felt like torturing
Or even killing him afraid of
The reprecussions it will make
For them to continue to rule.

He kept his promises, even not
Allowing his children the foerirgn
Education, which felt so alien,
Taught by the then violent whites,
Who ruled torutring, cutting organs,
And killing the citizens whom
they felt opposed their horror rule,
Controlled from far away, for
Looting his country of it's produce.

So great was his power of mind
And words, that the criminals and
Religious bigots threw away their
Metal Weapons and followed
Non-violence which eh preached
To humanity, and made the whites,
Leave the country, without violence.

He was all the greats put toghether,
The Buddha, Jesus, and Mahavir,
What hte whites achieved in thousand
Years, obtained in fifty years.
No words can praise his thoughts,
And actions, but alas, can be of
Lesson to the present polticians,
Before the people will raise again
May be with violence since
They had wiped out Gandhis's
Advice by their actions of corruption
And use of his name for material gains,
And herarchical rise of offsprigs,
Despite many of their children
Cheating the illgotten wealth.

May the world become non-violent,
And have peaceful thoughts and actions,
LIke the gratest of greats, Mahatma
Preached which none can discard.
