Bringing Bapuji back
If I had a magic wand
And could do anything grand
One thing I would do
is to bring Bapuji back
The man who died 70 years back
The man who was about to die for his
Nation but didn’t
The man of non-violence
Was killed in a manner of violence
The man who sternly did protest
Against the colonizing jest
What more to say about Gandhiji
When you have the history books
A simple common man just by his looks
And changed people’s minds with looks
And also by words that stroke like a flash
With my wand I would bring him back
Who would fill grains in every sack
And would bring people back
Together as humans
The people he would balance.
If he got another life,
There we could find a country
Sharper like a knife
The great Mahatma
Please come back for my wand
But there is no such wand
And I would need the help of
The readers in bringing the Mahatma back
Bring him as a teacher of your value education
With much anticipation
I wonder if he came back from the ashes
Would he be 150
But, be it 150 or 200
He would always look young,
And so would his values be.
