Thin and frail, a divine soul in a human frame.
Looked like a saint but was a King
Simplest was the life, unimaginable were the dreams
Won the war without weapons and with un thoughtful means
Awakened the slumbered souls, stormed the feeling
Fought, neither with cannon nor with guns
Neither with saber nor with swords.
Fought with peace but not with violence.
Boycott the laws, disobey the deceitful acts
Boycott the salt, bullet the mind
Thundred the colonial rule, dismantled the empire
Such was the charge delivered by a saint looking men.
An emperor, crowned with peace and non violence
Admired by the world , will be honored by generations
Will be revisited by humanity, before the illusion of materialism could end
To redefine the rules of existence in the centuries to come
I am very agree with the poet and always pray that many of citizen of the world willing to walk on the same path take by the eminent Mohandas Gandhi.... FOR PEACE AND FOR UNITY.... Gandhi's approach never been doubt by myself. I'm happy with what was written... keep it alive in our conscious.
A Nice tribute to the ever lasting policy of peace and non-violence by Mahatma Gandhi!
A very heartfelt tribute to Mahatma Gandhi which underlines his personality traits as well as his unique ways of non.cooperation, civil disobedience and Ahimsa to win his battles in life. Thanks for sharing.
