HOLI




The festival of colour 

Is one, that requires you to take a shower

With the colour red, green, blue 

Sticking to your attire like an adamant glue 


Unexpected, are the chromatic balloons thrown 

When walking along the streets alone 

It is a celebration and a massacre 

Unrecognisable becomes your stature 


The sound of chaos and fun 

Makes you want to run 

For your life or others 

Stalking your sisters and brothers


The constant sprint and avid chases 

Keeps your hunger growing for ages 

Thus, begins the magnificent feast 

Everyone eats like a beast
