Lightening Life-Diwali

Festival of luminescent lights

Festival of sacrificial offerings

The rich scent of flowers

The panchromatic color of rangoli

Brings radiant smiles

But, an insight will bring tears in your eyes

While we exchange gifts and dress up

The less privileged look towards the sparkling sky

With a hope that someday they will have a diya to lit up

Glass goes down in their throat

With this very thought!

This festive mode is coated in a hazy fog

Kids are always stubborn

But few get matured by the circumstances

While few enjoy the glorious lifestyle

Others cry for a candy

They sleep content by listening to a lullaby

Why can’t we make this festival,

A day to eradicate sufferings and helplessness

We have been taught – its a festival of goodness

Can’t we bring a little joy to them?

Ignite the feeling of humbleness

Burst hatred, sparkle out the kindness

Spend time with your family and friends

This is the delight of the fest

Be someone’s ally

Be the triumph of good over bad

Sparkles of sky cant overcome the sparkle of your eye

That shines bright when you live this fest

With its true essence.
