Diwali Celebration

In the glow of Diwali's light,
Amidst the crackers' noisy flight,
A tale unfolds, not all so bright,
The sad reality of this festive night.

Beneath the sparkle, shadows play,
Lurking troubles, not far away,
For some, Diwali brings dismay,
In the echoes of laughter, they silently sway.

Amidst the sweets and festive cheer,
Whispers of longing, not everyone can hear,
In the burst of joy, a silent tear,
The sad reality of Diwali draws near.

Beyond the lights, where darkness lies,
Lies the truth, hidden from joyful eyes,
A tale of struggles, where hope defies,
The sad reality beneath the festive skies.

For not all homes are filled with glee,
Some yearn for moments, carefree,
In the sad undertones of Diwali's spree,
A reminder of life's unequal decree.

Let's reflect on those with hearts in strife,
In the festival of light, a nuanced life,
Embrace compassion, let kindness rife,
For Diwali's true spirit is love, not just the light.
