Today’s the ‘Festival of Lights’ all o’er;
a joyful day for minds and hearts and souls;
And people throng the Temples to offer,
Prayers, resolving to take roles.
And most of them are richly clad and clean,
and eat such dainty foods and sweets with mirth;
Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights are seen,
It seems to be a happy day on Earth!
But are there not hearts woe-filled, very sad?
Denied of laughter, smiles for days;
Today’s the triumph of Good over bad;
But what about the wastage in much ways?
True joy is when you see someone else smile!
True charity gives joy in Heav’nly style.

I had been searching about your topic, “Darker side of ‘Festival of lights’ My Canvas” at one of the similar web logs I retain in my reader. You happen to be basically in agreement with each other. It just isn’t what I believed, nevertheless I’m realizing now that I am more than likely completely wrong… fascinating..
