White Light

You began at the white city and
Slowly trudged across the world

Covered in the cloak of Ahimsa
Led by faith and not by fetish

Safe on a land of love and truth
You built the Shilpa of freedom

For a beloved motherland
And for the world transcendent

A loin cloth filtering out light
From the darkness around you
