His name was Mahatma Gandhi
Donning dhoti and shawl woven on the charkha
He reflected simplicity as his identity
Opposed to brute force and immorality
He stood for soul force and morality
A face of ethical living, vegetarianism, and pacifism
An embodiment of truthfulness, chastity, and temperance
He promoted non-violence and cleanliness
And worked hard for the upliftment of the masses
Opposing social injustices
He streamlined his energy to abolish such practices
He preached to consider
Duties and responsibility as a priority
To rights and privileges
With all his authority
His Dandi Salt March, Khilafat movement
Quit India movement and Satyagrah movement
Were all movements of defiance
Representing his belief in non-violence
Each Indian represents his philosophy
As the world knows India through this political identity
A man who stood for peace
Could not earn the Noble peace prize while alive
But the omission of
Nobel peace prize the year he died
Was probably a sign of respect posthumously
Conferred on him after he was shot dead arbitrarily
