Crackers we all like to burst

Diwali is coming -  it's a sign first.

  [1]

 We lit the lamps
From exile camps when Lord Rama returned 
No animal teasing or sound was made
Crackers were absolutely shunned.
 [2]

Rama was welcomed by fragrant flowers
Diwali was eco-friendly for twenty hours
Healthy and cheerful  Ayodhya  people were
No fire, no smoke, and no noise were there.
[3]

People danced and enjoyed the occasion very much
No pollution was there as such.
Today children burn their hands and eyes
Cracker-makers lose their eye-sights
Sick people feel uneasiness
Some people suffer from wheezing.
[4]

Show  children  placards to discard this tradition
Leaders appeal with strong elocution
Doctors advise to avoid suffocation
Yet people invite unnecessary tensions
It is just beyond my poor comprehension.
[5]

Religion does not say, 'Die for Me'
Rather, it says-
Love yourself as you love me.
                    =
Be healthy, wish to be wealthy. Happy Diwali!
