but look beautiful to someone who is not gifted with an eye
This holi, may the ‘gulal’ not just touch the face,
but also the lives of numerous underpriviledged, whom we consider a disgrace
This holi, make sure that it’s not only your child who has the fun,
but even your servant’s son, gets to dream of the stars and the sun
This holi, when your water canon splashes in all directions,
spare a thought for primary education and social resurrection
This holi, when you have ‘bhaang & bhujiya’ and get a high,
see that the old are not complaining of being neglected, as it’s not a lie
This holi, when you sing and dance to the drums beat,
don’t forget that somewhere a labourer is working in that sweltering heat
This holi, don’t just colour your surroundings
red, green , orange , yellow , blue…..
but also the lives of others as it’s only then
that the colours, get ‘true’ !!!.
THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN as a part of THE POETRY COMPETITION HELD AT MY WORLKPLACE AND IT FETCHED ME THE FIRST PRIZE...wooh!!! :)
