Poems on Mahatma Gandhi

1.

Yes, I am Gandhi

Born on a special day

When the whole world comes together

To rejoice for another year

Another year is no more and

Another one imminent.


What is your foresight

In this coming year?

Who else will achieve greatness

Who else will achieve grand things

In this approaching year?


Mahathma came to this earth

And planted some everlasting seeds

Seeds of love, joy, and freedom

He changed the karma of humanity

He was called Gandhi, yes Mahathma.


Some say he was born of Indian descent,

I simply say he was born of humanity

He was a selfless and gallant leader,

He taught the world to resist oppression

He did it with love, meekness, and humility.


When he was assassinated his body died

But his spirit never died with him

He unselfishly gave it to me and

Said give it to the whole world and ask:

Why does humanity still kill each other?

By Nhlanhla "Gandhi" Sikosana


2.

A Father's Vision

Shrouded in white,

A supportive wooden stick in one hand,

Walking towards the new era in sight,

He left his footprints on the historic Indian sand.


Advocating peace,

Upholding his virtues,

The ever lit candle of his beliefs will never cease,

So will the fruition of his toil from dusk till the dew.


Scrutinizing the progressive vision of this country,

Acting as a beacon light for his followers,

Striving to make the nation free,

A tolerant and non-violent country he tried to nurse.


His praises echo throughout,

His deeds guiding us in building a new nation,

Lifting us from inequality's drought,

This is Mahatma Gandhi, our father, whose name we recite in exaltation.

By Yukta Hathiramani
