On the occasion of Holi

In a Holi act, A section of people
Throw coloured water on fellow humans

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?"
