He embodied a silent power
Small and slight
he was a pioneer
His message rang through
loud and clear
'An eye for an eye makes
the whole world blind'
The power behind these words
is truly one of a kind
He walked amongst all people
whether rich or poor
He preached that peace
was behind each and every door
He battled all wars
By teaching each mind
'It is the law of love
that rules mankind.'
'Perfect nonviolence
is the highest bravery'
These words are the power
of Mahatma Ghandi...
