The Impossible Gandhi


Oh what to say
             About those pragmatic principles
Real hard and rigid
             So need some extensive shuffles

Among the biggest principles of Gandhi
             Was the one of Ahimsa
But this Gandhi only believes in
             Mar kaat and hinsa

He has a humpty head and a dumpty body
             With a big thick eyebrow
Don’t ever challenge him
             Otherwise he’ll say ungli neeche karo

You stay miles away from him
             Only then you’ll remain happy
Otherwise he’ll stand on your head
             ‘Cause his ruh didn’t kaapi

He doesn’t has the courtesy
             Even while talking to ladkiyaan
And if he continues this type of attitude
             Then I’m sure he’s going to land into kadkiyaan

You think him to be very ethical
             He is exactly like a bubble
Looks good from outside, but the moment he bursts
             He is no more than rubble

You prick a pin into his belly
             And he’ll burst like a balloon
With a big bang and a top shot
             He slowly comes out of the cocoon

You call him a Gandhi
             That’s a dubious distinction
I’m not even able to find words for him
             ‘Cause words are also on the verge of extinction

He thinks himself to be the greatest of all
             And wants everybody to flash him a salaam
But I seriously predict his future today
             He’s going to land nowhere
             Except being a joru ka gulaam
