Gandhi - Experiment With Truth Poem by Rema Prasanaa

Dandi....
Boiling sea water, lumps of salt
salt of freedom,
flavor of decades

Freedom
sixty years plus... aged and tired
free not in mind
incredible

Gandhi
Do you know?

Yes.. Yes..Yes..!

Gandhi my father
Munnabhai
Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi....

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Who?
Mahatma Gandhi father of the Nation
Mohandas.... Gandhi.. who?

Gandhi...
half naked fakir in loin drape
struggle, salt
non cooperation
non violence
Yerwada Jail,
division, bloodshed
midnight’s freedom
fruit – bitter sweet

At the end
a fanatic
shot and killed Gandhi
Hey Ram, a prayer...

Experiment with truth- bitter?
