RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Diwali
At the very moment of dusk
When the sun gives way to night
They lit two million earthen lamps
To commemorate the victory of light
All along the sacred river
The lamps lit up the night
Give praise to the Hindu god of Ram
Give praise to the triumph of light
At night they pray to the goddess Lakshmi
To bring good fortune and wealth
All India comes out to celebrate
Another year of balance and health
May the spirit of Diwali bless us
In the year of our great need
For now we pay back our debts
For all the years of careless greed
