Pure White
Pure white I cannot fathom
the multihues you hide within yourself
On a baby swathed in white
you take on the colour of innocence and joy
On a pious man
you are coloured with selflessness
On a doctor you take on the colour
of efficiency, confidence and dedication
On a nurse
You are service in person
A widow’s clothes tint you with
sadness and helplessness
A postmortemed body in white
wringes pain in the heart
Who are the real YOU
HE saw seven colours
But I see many many more
