Did Holi Change?
Did Holi Change?
There we all burnt the wicked 'Holika' in a pyre,
Death of the evil and victory of good in a fire
Colours to celebrate this win over the bad,
Sprinkled colours of green, blue, yellow and red
The earth turned colourful with the celebration of Holi,
And every colour has meaning and it seems so holy
Red is the colour of Love and fertility,
The colour yellow being growth and prosperity
The skin tone of Lord is by Blue so serene,
and new beginnings are represented by Green
Is this all still the same or we have all changed,
With all the differences we all are now chained
Cause sometimes we see colours representing religion,
Red and Green, showing differences in caste and region
Yellow and Blue are no longer serene and pure,
Blue is dark night, and yellow is a metal, which everyone lure
Why is there such a change, people are not caring,
Holi is becoming just a tradition of scaring
People are not coming closer, don't know why they are afraid,
Do they realise? Holi is still the festival of Green, Blue, Yellow and Red.
