Sonnet: Diwali,2012 Poem by Dr John Celes

Sonnet: Diwali,2012



Deepavali is back again this year!
But power-cuts and water-scarcity
Have caused some gloom in hearts of near and dear,
In villages, towns and every city!

Yet, people must enjoy despite all odds!
The ‘Festival of Lights' must brighten lives,
And free the nation from all kinds of frauds,
As ‘bees go back to labour in their hives! '

The day could lose its sheen this year, it seems!
Many have lost their jobs with prices high;
The rains have failed and wrecked the farmer's dreams;
Yet, God may work His miracles of sky!

This is a day of hope as light prevails
O'er life's darkness as ship of life sets sails!

‘A Happy Diwali to all Indians everywhere! '
