An Poem on "Mahatma Gandhi and his education philosophy"
Answers
It was vacation, and I had nothing to do;
I was at home and mummy daddy too;
My glance caught a sketch, of an old person;
He appeared to be the gentlest under the sun;
Strikingly, different was the expression in his Eyes;
Suddenly I felt guilty of all my lies;
His lips parted in a smile , so pure
He left me spellbound that's for sure
"Who is he dad?" was my question
"Come on, don't you know?" "was his reaction
He is the one who has set us free;
He is the one who has planted the tree;
He is the one, who was bold enough;
Firm and stubborn but never rough;
Truth and non-violence is what he taught
Same were the principles for which he fought
Preaching and practices for once were the same
His deed were worth name and fame
I have never seen a soul, so tall;
Oh dad; he appears to be the father of all
"You said it, child" said my dad
'Bapu' is the name he always had
I saw the sketch again and again,
His returning smile was my greatest gain,
October 2nd was the day my friends
That certainly changed my life's trends
MANY MANY YEARS AGO,
A MAN WITH A SMALL BUILT,
HUMBLE, KIND AND GENEROUS
AN ABLE LAWYER BY PROFESSION,
THREW AWAY THE COMFORTS OF LIFE; AND
MADE SIMPLE LIVING HIS LIFE’S MOTTO
A WHITE “DHOTI” WAS ALL THAT HE WORE
GREAT BELOVED SON OF INDIA
AND THE PEOPLE CALL HIM “MAHATMA”.
NEVER DID HE REST IN PEACE
DARED THE BRITISH WITH NON-VIOLENCE
HE HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY; AND
INSTILLED IN US PRIDE AND SELF RESPECT
BROTHERHOOD WAS HIS SERMON
AND AFFECTION FOR THE MASSES HIS HALLMARK
PASSIONATELY HE STRUGGLED FOR OUR FREEDOM; AND
UNITED US TO BE A PROUD INDIAN NATION.
