An Ode To A Saint Of Peace
An Ode to a Saint of Non-Violence – Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

When the Indian nation reeled
Under a foreign yoke
This frail man with iron will
Preached a master stroke

Or revenge, violence or death
That will get India freedom

Non-violence
Born out of
Non-attachment.
Passion, anger
And greed are
Triple gates
To hell
these are born out
of Attachment.
