Poems on Gandhi


Take Shelter with Gandhi

From the book, 'GANDHIJI'

Take shelter at Gandhi's feet,
Sing hymns of his virtues.

He gave up all that was Western,
And held the spinning wheel!
He gave up alcohol and liquor,
Now, you drink milk and buttermilk!

He gave up meat and fish,
Now, you eat roti with jaggery!
Leave aside witches and demons,
Now, you worship Lord Ram!

He gave up envy and enmity,
Now, you love and care for all!
Deceit and cheating he doesn't like,
On the path of truth he does strive!

... Mind, this is the last chance!!!
