GANDHI. AND WE. PART I, poem by Dr KmPrabhakar Rao

GANDHI AND WE
Gandhis statue is on top of a pedestal
At a road junction in Hyderabad city
poor guy is unhappy at his state
And he wants people to have on him some pity
The statue has Faded and peeled black paint
With some crow droppings streaks on the face
Guys going around have no time for him
And all are running a ten Mile rat race
The statue is within a small enclosure
With iron grill fixed around with cement
drunkards relax at the base of statue
Seeing Gandhi fate no one has time to even lament
The poor Gandhi struggled for this nation
got packed off after the Englishmen left from all nooks
As mighty Churchill predicted before they went away
India landed in the grip of robbers and crooks
Gandhis name is a tool for catching votes
Once won they drink and glut meat of chicken
Seventy long years are over after India got freedom
Morals set by Gandhi are confined to bin soil linen
