MAHATMA

Frail, half naked old man,
Wielding stick in the weak hand,
Briskly walking miles together,
The man who threatened the empire.
With no weapon, no army,
It was his belief in nonviolence,
His own power, percolated in millions,
And made them fearless freedom fighters.
To gain the independence.
To remain the independent,
Will be true homage to the Mahatma.
