No Chance For Nonviolence Sans Gandhi! Poem by Ramesh T A

Today is the remembrance day of our father of nation, Gandhi;
All over the world he is remembered for his nonviolent policy;
Even from small children to old men he is loved by his fondness;
Now with two minutes' silence he is forgotten in noise of violence!

Mahatma Gandhi has statues all over the world and on currencies;
But the world is still looking for a great man of nonviolence in vain;
There is none to cherish nonviolence in this time of terrorism sure;
Love is totally out of focus in the absence of nonviolence forever!

It is impossible to believe such a great charismatic leader lived...!
Only if he is reborn perhaps there is some chance of nonviolence;
But when all are competing for amassing nuclear weapons, war and
Violence cannot be obliterated on the all bearing terrain of Earth...!

Sans Gandhi, India could not have got the chance of breathing
Freedom and so, sans him, there is no chance for nonviolence...!
