Gandhi Vandana Poem by Ramesh Joshi

Gandhi Vandana

Rating: 5.0


Vande Mahatma, the father of nation,
Birthday greetings, prayers, blessings
We beseech apologistic, being unworthy,
Callous, contemptuous contradicting thee.

Truth, Ahimsa, used weapons, vanquish
Opponents, worst oppressors white regime,
Now, your land crying help, cross bearance
Values massacred, Violence dance wild.

Intolerant bigots claim pound of flesh.
Pinprick conscience, pain to nation pride
moral corruption rampant, evil force let lose
Crush life-force, shaming national pride.

Thy name now high jacked, political pronoun
Tarnish, used unscrupulous scamster gang as
Cap, political crown hereditary, he'll bent usurp
Breed sycophants perilous to national honour.

Mohandas Karamchanda Gandhi, speak your
Heart, You approve your name being demonised,
Defamed, derided, drenched in dubious fame?
Speak out thy mind, you approve, and abate error.

Now, your land crying help, cross bearance Values massacred, Violence dance wild. You have nicely assessed and presented the situation prevailing in the country today which is just opposite of what Gandhi ji lived and died for. Thanks for sharing.

Truth, Ahimsa, used weapons, vanquish Opponents, worst oppressors white regime, Now, your land crying help, cross bearance Values massacred, Violence dance wild... . yes, the ptesent situation is severe. Violence is around us. Truth and nonviolence should be kept as weapons like that Mahatma Gandhi. Beautifully crafted. Brilliant poem Thank you dear Ramesh for posting this.
