Diwali Indian Festival of Light

The weather is chill and pleasant  
Diwali fervor is round the corner
Yet my soul is not in synch 
My mind doesn’t budge to tyranny 

Will there be a cracker of a time
When firecrackers are banished 
No: age cannot wither her;
Nor custom stale; in her infinite glory 
Goddess Lakshmi is supreme!

Despots on prowl for exploits
State in cahoots with alien drill
It isn’t the strength of enemy
It is about Hindu gone astray
Having an unholy union 

Diwali is victory of good over evil 
It is about destroying the wicked 
It is against villains spewing venom
It dispels gloom and darkness!

The smoke from burning embers 
In the stomach of a billion Hindu 
Will soon balloon to a wrath 
The impact of which will witness 

“Narakasura” perishing soon 
Satyabhama’s ire will cause fire.
Charred bodies will lay strewn 
Casting ultimate indignity fo 
vexatious brigands.

Diwali is the Festival of Lights
It is knowledge to counter ignorance 
Diwali is a festival of hope and happiness 
It rings in prosperity to all 
A very colorful event that
Usher cheer in people’s life!
