Fireworks

Why do the people celebrate

Or elevate

Their merriments

Their rejoicings

Their festivals

With fireworks



Why are the people enchanted

With fireworks

And manifest their enjoyments

With fireworks



I think the people have to show

Warmth of feelings and sentiments

The fire of their love and passion

Concealed in the nooks of their hearts



So they look for romantic joys

The weddings of their kith and kin

The glorious success and victory

Intermingle red-lettered days

And fill their nights

With splendid, sparkling fireworks

But I wonder

Like ephemeral joys

How fleeting fireworks do reveal

The sheer transience of human life!!!
