Bapu Taught Us

Someone in the old pages of history Taught us to be fearless for rights. A man called Mahatma Gandhi, With the power of love, enough to ignite. That man proclaimed forgiveness To be an attribute of the strong. Not to hate the sinner But to deny what is wrong. Permanent good can never be The outcome of untruth and violence. Sometimes it's the pain and suffering That unstitches the victory in silence. When it comes to defending humanity And the world seems quite big to shake. You just need to be a radical, To see a universal change. Wisdom is not when we divide It's when we divide, we fall. In unity, we lie safe Safety for one and all. Bapu left some pathways for all, To keep our spirits high. Let us crown this glorious soul And let us raise a joyful cry! Tanisha Kindo
