Satyagraha |
You stood tall and still, Clad in loincloth, Stripped bare of pomp And the garlands of adulation.
You took command and spoke in clear and simple words Believing in the force of your ideas Rather than of a gun.
Soul force - Is not the weapon of the weak But the weapon of the strong.
Soul force - When will and heart, And body and mind, Work in unison.
Soul force - That alone could prevail Against the gates of hell.
Fired not with hate for the Other But with love For wholeness and humanity.
With the strength to say, “Enough! We will not be trampled on like dust. We will be free!” By Devarakshanam Govinden |
