FESTIVAL
Love, amity
and approval,
festivals
and Dewali,
enliven
life.
Christmas, Holee
and the Valentine,
All these
days be celebrated.
But,
Sonami, floods
and earthquakes,
hunger,
unemployment and ailment,
also be
kept in mind.
On Dewali
an earthen lamp of love be lit,
on Christmas
songs of sacrifice be sung,
on Holee
colors of affection be sprinkled,
on Valentine
day roses be bestowed.
All these
festivities be celebrated together.
But,
a few
moments be spared for
the poor
people,
whose
festivals
pass uncelebrated.
