What A Man




 
Practiced law in Africa did he
So many places he did see
Such a knowledgeable man
Debate with him no one can
Every time I think about him
It makes me say: wow, what a man! 

After a while he came back
Money was something he didn't lack
When he saw India then, he was astonished
People were poor and also famished
Then he decided to fight for their rights
For freedom from oppressing British rule
Whenever I think about him
Its makes me say: wow, what a man! 

Together with Indian leaders he fought
Until freedom was what India got
Alas he is no more
Although he was someone I would die for
Shot to death by a traitor, an Indian
wasn't freedom enough? 
Even today when I think about him
It makes me say: wow, what a man! 

This man was a mahatma
Literally means a great soul
Gem of a man with great patience
The father of our nation
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
What a man.
