On the occasion of Holi

In a Holi act, A section of people
Throw coloured water on fellow humans
In the name of culture.

In a "holy" act, a few individuals
Bomb Brussels, to blow up fellow humans
In the name of religion.

Is the red-shed of the bomb
Any more radiant than
The multi-colour of the Pichkari?

Why do these men want
The world to turn colour-blind?
Why do these mean want
The world to see only red?

Why do these men want
The world to forget the Pichkari?
Why do these men want
To give a new meaning to
"Painting the town red?"
