Crackers explode
fireworks burst
the town rocks.
A commemoration of
Krishna’s deadly blow
against Naragasura,
an evil asura, who pleads
to the Lord, the day of his death
be celebrated .
Diwali marks the death
of Naragasura, a correlation
to the conquest of good over evil.
Oh Krishna! Hare Krishna!
Hare hare!
The asura is dead for long
evil grows, spreads, assumes
various forms.
Diwali comes every year.
