The Mahatma
It takes guts
To tell no to a world power,
Not by threats, or terror.
A mere smile, a kind resolve,
Was enough
To set the sun
On an empire that ruled.
Greater is the power
To not hit back,
To take a hit,
To not avenge,
To spare a life.
To the man
Who showed us all
You and I can live together,
As neighbours on cordial terms,
Even with our differences.
There is enough for the need of all,
Yet not enough for greed of one.
