Who is Ghandi
To kids these days
Old man with
His old man wrinkles
Carved into his face like
Objects leave imprints in sand
Though knives haven’t
Carved his old man wrinkles but
Years of experience and
the change he’s seen in himself
to create change in the world
with words of wisdom
dousing our brains with
hope alcohol can’t treat
with its death-rate stench
change leaves us with our faith
of love
of blissful intoxication
Ecstasy not found in pill or powder-form
A touch of awareness
Will not render the others
Keen to what you see
Blindness
Like judgment or sin
Cannot be washed away
That’s not what tides are for
Hark on the journey to warmth
With lightness in your heart
Or the hardness that will always be
Because even if your world has stopped or started spinning
You’re the only person
that can see what you see
