Homage Mahatma Evergreen Man
“At his One hundred and Thirty Five Years”

Born in Gujrat Porbander
Gandhi Mohandas Karamchand
Living life unto his name
He is an open book transparent.

Young Kasturba marries
Sails to London, law studies
Returns to Africa settles
As Barrister, begins Practise.

However, turn of events
Change of winds. With determination
To India, the young man returns.
It is after twenty years.

Copper, frail, brazen, golden man
Spin fabric of non-violence.
Stick Stubborn, “Ahimsa Parham Dharm”
Infect the sub continent.

The man knows what he speaks.
Many take him as a freak.
The half-naked fakir never wrecks.
Love and affection his, rocks.

Father of a nation Bapuji is. At Sabarmati
Ashram, humbly devotes his services.
Attend lepers, nurse sick, and untouchables.
He is an epitome complete kindness.

His brain cooks all in one, Power of Peace.
His Logic, freedom needs no weapon.
That hurts fragile human. Faith in his Belief
Strong instances, “Moves Mountains”

Freedom at Midnight Achieves.
Lords and Ladies retreat.
The British Viceroy Mountbatten Handover
India. Of which Nehru is Premier.

Mahatma the Nobleman
Forever-Evergreen World Renowned
People remember October 2nd
His Birthday 2004-10-02 celebrates nations.
