Unto others

In this upside-down world in which we dwell, 

Seems our rulers are bent on hell. 

History can show: one like Gandhi-there\'ll be Others too,

Who chose to forgive, bringing peace anew. 

The ultimate: Humiliation, plucking off the hair, giving his back to the smitters, spitting in his face-right there!

Knowing the victory was not in might, 

Like a lamb to the slaughter, 

Showing us how to fight. 

\"Not by might, or by power!\"

The humble he hears in the faithful hour. 

\"But we must get even, eradicate the threat!\"

Live by the sword,  die by the sword. 

Lest we forget.
