Diwali this year

NaBloPoMo 2021 #4

This year as Diwali we celebrate

As the Gods and Goddesses we venerate

As we applaud the storied victory

Of good over evil, let the allegory

Of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance

Take center-stage, achieve prominence

From dark times we emerge in to light

Propelled by science, we are winning the fight

Let us light lamps to celebrate the future bright

Let us light lamps in memory of those who lost the fight

Let light dispel the darkness of fear profound

Let there be the brightness of hope around..
