Dewali Festival of Lights

Remember dewali in Trinidad We use to decorate the streets Then all my Hindu friends Bring me foods and sweets My table was full with Food and all kind of goodies Because my Hindu friends Use to bring so much for me Dewali marks the return To ayodhya of lord Rama He returns to his kingdom After defeating demon king ravana It was the victory of good over evil In the epic story of Ramayana And also the slaying of evil demon King Narakasura by Lord Krishna Ravana had 10 heads and 20 arms He saw Rama beautiful wife sita While they were hunting in the forest And he plot to kidnap her So he disguises his servant maricha As a golden deer to lead Rama And lakshman away in the forest Lakshman drew a circle around her And told her not to step out But ravana turn as a beggar man And ask her for food and water Then turn back as he holds her hand She cried for help and a fierce bird Jatayu attacked ravana to save her But ravana cut off his wings And when away with princess sita She threw her necklace downs So Rama can follow to save her They slay ravana and Narakasura And they return to his kingdom in Ayodhya And the people light the streets And every houses celebrating With foods and sweets and music To welcome home their beloved king And that is the origin of dewali And every year on that date Around the world every where Diwali are being celebrated Sorry have to end this poem now Because my Hindu friends at the gate With bags of food and goodies And I’m drooling I just can’t wait
