Holi (festival of colors)

Many festivals in India but not like Holi
In true essence and practice it stands holy
Entire country is tied in one knot wholly
We are bound to remain united unless commit a folly

It is strong message for change
As if to accept the change and manage
Removal of old habits as per age
Think of liberty, freedom and resolve to come out of cage

Spring is knocking at the door
Life is to be lived by rich or poor
Giving away frustration and hope's revival
It is sincere desire on the part of nature to express its arrival

Festivals are inseparable part and convey bond if affection
Whole country is rejoicing with colorful action
Where will you find celebration in such a large scale?
From one part of the land to another part with same tale

We are one and may remain tomorrow
Festivals may come and silently go
But our aspirations and anxieties too will grow
Let us celebrate and enjoy it like river flow
