The Fiery Orange

The embellished meanings of

Each of these nine days, 

Portraying the infinite beauty

Our culture was supposed to image,

The pearls of fire 

Goddess Durga wears in her attire

Burning the demons of society

To keep hope alive in the realms of deity.

The crown of knowledge 

she holds on her head, 

Still her followers are stuck

With their own pledge

of gluing their eyelashes blinded.

The message of the colour, orange

Seeks from the society to change,

To sacrifice the perceptions, weary and rusted

And hold on the novice amalgamated.
