Happy Deepawali!

I'll burn my crackers.

Why should I abstain?

Let the animals whimper

I don't care for their pain!

 

I'll burn my crackers

The pleasure is insane!

Let the world die a little

I don't care the blame!

 

I'll burn my crackers

You should try the same!

Let your neighbours envy

That's how you rise to fame!

 

I'll burn my crackers

Don't you dare complain

Let the old bicker

I'll not stop the flame!

Notes

This, like my other posts recently, is also something I had written sometime back and wasn't shared on this platform.

Context to people who aren't familiar with the indian festival Deepawali/Diwali: It's a hindu festival where the celebration involves bursting of crackers, which has adverse effects on environment as a consequence.

PS: I wish a very happy and joy filled deepawali to all my friends over here.
