walk into freedom. Your ways and principles
were precursors for every step,
yet, sadly people have forgotten to follow
your dharma of Non - Violence and Satyagraha
to achieve the desired action,
these two powerful instruments sang the glory of peace,
Compelling the shamefaced
British to arrive at a truce to declare independence.
Bapu your clarion call for disobedience
and non-cooperation by peaceful protests,
your frail and loin-clothed body became the symbol
of a peaceful battle against muscled oppressors.
With your simplicity, you showed the world,
how one can attain the means to achieve the highest deeds.
Never, once did you yield to the imposed sanctions,
what you believed in you determined to carry out.
The world is witness to your struggle and for us
dear Bapu you will be forever a man of Peace.
Today when the world is breaking into pieces,
we need you most. Yours must be a second coming.
