FIREWORKS

Why do the people celebrate
Or elevate
Their merriments
Their rejoicings
Their festivals
With fireworks

Why are the people enchanted
With fireworks
And manifest their enjoyments
With fireworks

I think the people have to show
Warmth of feelings and sentiments
The fire of their love and passion
Concealed in the nooks of their hearts

So they look for romantic joys
The weddings of their kith and kin
The glorious success and victory
Intermingle red-lettered days
And fill their nights
With splendid, sparkling fireworks
But I wonder
Like ephemeral joys
How fleeting fireworks do reveal
The sheer transience of human life!
