The light of life

The light of life

The radiance of night, plays trick on mind

Is it day yet? Oh ! It's just the luminous Diwali, lights

Fountains of laughter ignite the air

Spirited children, and sparkles sprinkle happiness blare

Shiny glitters on sky, chase away the gloomy shades

Everywhere life and the zeal to live thrives

Elsewhere the air shatters, and splinters fly

Screeches of terror vibrate through every inch

 A line of houses reduces to boulders and ashes dry

Panic, fear, and shrieks of desperation descends

A hand, a leg, bloody faces dots every inch

Innocence, humanity and sanity mutilated, only brutality rages thick

For land, honor, religion or money, the reason forever weak

The right to erase life, can never be a worthy feat
