Gandhi
His teachings were gentle,
yet he did not bend to
the will of any man.
This little brown man
changed an entire world
for all time.
These words are
his legacy of wisdom:
“You must be the changes
you wish to see in the world.”
Great armies, mighty battles
bring nothing but bloodshed and death.
He knew change could not be forced,
but should be gently coaxed.
No mighty general astride a horse,
Gandhi became a father to a nation,
spinning cloth for clothing to wear,
raking latrines in the Ashram.
He became the change
he wanted to see in the world.
"You must be the changes you wish to see in the world."
