*******I wrote this 8 years back ***************
The greatest leader ever of this land
Armed with a spinning wheel in his hand
Anything his weapon, enemies cannot understand
Love and knowledge, his magic wand!
Leader of the cow-herd or a half-naked fakir
Ridicules he threw off to their nadir!
Raising his hand, ruined the reign
From Saree to Salt, ammunitions rain!
Leadership is not in riding a vehicle
It’s inspiring people to perform their battle!
Neither in front-line nor resting in the castle
He charioted the war, right from its middle!
“Before you be free”, he told his men
“Become eligible to hold the reign
Shun the liquor; food that is rotten
Establish equality of all our men and women.. ..
Fulfill the need; not the greed
Self-reliance be our ultimate creed”
Truth prevails was ever his theme
Ram and Rahim dwelled in him!
Aged 150 years, he is Mahatma
Aged 5000 years, he is Paramatma!
