Burning Buds

Burning Buds ————–  A black day will come as Deewali  to suck the lives of small buds  Every sparkles of a crackers  may swallow  the childish glee of a bud  It is cruel! enjoying the tears of small kids  How we have forgotten to realise this so far?  To feed themselves  and to their family  these buds are burning in the sulpher and phosperous  Do you feel this ? My dear !  To celebrate a second of that day  thousands of kids will  have to work and die  Is it needed to celebrate?  Raise a question to save their’s life                                                with tears created                                                  Sakthi Ravichandran

Gives a new take on Deewali.......

Hi Sakkthee This is a very sad write. It gives us an idea of what the other side entails, the price that some pay for the preparations of a sacred day. This is an eye opener esp these lines: "To celebrate a second of that day thousands of kids will have to work and die Is it needed to celebrate? Raise a question to save their’s life with tears created" A very different take on the traditon of Deewali. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Kind regards Feebie Mistakes happen, do not dwell on them, live them, mourn them and move on to better things. (PS: if that does not work eat lots and lots of chocolate)
