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.
- Sania Arif (FORM 2A), Queens Mary School
(Please Note: The first letter of each sentence spells MAHATMA GANDHI BAPU)
