Burning Buds

Burning Buds
--------------
 A black day will come as Deewali
 to suck the lives of small buds
 Every sparkles of a crackers  may swallow
 the childish glee of a bud
 It is cruel! enjoying the tears of small kids
 How we have forgotten to realise this so far?
 To feed themselves  and to their family
 these buds are burning in the sulpher and phosperous
 Do you feel this ? My dear !
 To celebrate a second of that day
 thousands of kids will have to work and die
 Is it needed to celebrate?
 Raise a question to save their's life
                                               with tears created
                                                 Sakthi Ravichandran
