Celebrations

Popcorn, peanuts, bonfire marks year new,

Winter harvest-ready, celebrate cold blew,

Splash and throw color what a myriad hue,

Forget and forgive others in red, green or blue,

Visiting mosque, sewainyan delicacy,

Relish Idi tinged with brotherhood easy,

Worship idol of Lord Krishna deity.

Go for visarjan of Lord Ganesha diety,

Then comes the eternal bond of siblings love,

Rakhi tied on brother's hand all above,

Dancing and singing for nine nights and days,

Cacaphony of sounds, listen Ramlila it says,

Gurupurab celebrated in Gurudwaras lit up.

Love and humanity among humans build-up,

Garlands of electric lights diyas rangoli,

Enlighten with intellect this Diwali,

Walnut cakes, Santa cap, X mas tree,

Let's pray for our sins and make us guilt-free.
