Beggar's Diwali Tale

In Diwali's glow, a beggar's tale unfolds,

On streets adorned with lights, his story holds.

Amidst the brilliance of lamps aglow,

A humble soul seeks warmth, a tale to show.

His tattered cloak, a contrast to the festive cheer,

Yet, in his eyes, resilience is sincere.

With empty palms, he extends a plea,

In the festival of light, a plea for empathy.

Ignored by many in the joyous parade,

His silent plea, a serenade.

Through the crackling sounds of fireworks,

A whisper of hunger, a silent cry.

Yet, in the shadows of opulence and mirth,

A chance for compassion to find its worth.

For in Diwali's aura, let kindness reign,

Illuminate not just homes, but hearts in pain.

In the beggar's eyes, a reflection profound,

A tale of resilience in silence, unbound.

The end...
