Diwali(An Indian Festival)

“HELLO. AYODHYA”,
                      SAID RAM ON THIS DAY,
AYODHYA BECAME, THEN,
                      HAPPY & GAY,
VICTORY OVER RAVANA WAS ACHIEVED,
                     AFTER LONG STRUGGLE,
IN THE MODERN ERA, IT SEEMS,
                      LIKE THE LIFE OF A BUBBLE,
14 YEARS OF LIFE,    
                       RAM SURVIVED IN THE FOREST,
WORST CONDITIONS ALSO,
                      HE TURNED INTO BEST,
WITH THE FORCE OF MONKEYS,
         DISEASE RAVANA WAS MADE DEAD,
 THE MEDICINE OF TRUTH,
         OVER LANKA BEING SPREAD,
RAM WAS WELCOMED BACK,
                     WHEN HE MADE A SUDDEN SALLY,
LIKE AYODHYA TO RAM, I WISH YOU,
                       “A VERY HAPPY DIWALI”
