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!
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.
