How Diwali Came To Be Poem by Ryson Dsouza

Obeying Elders Command to have exile for 14 years
Princess Sita with Prince Ram & laxman
Marched to the forest without any fears

Prince Ram was tricked to target a golden Deer
Ravana trapped Princess Sita
When Prince Ram wasn't near

Ravana was full of evil
Known as a demon king
Defeating Ravana wasn't simple
Definitely a difficult thing

But Prince Ram was victorious
And returned to Avodhya
All celebrated his glory
With Fireworks and Diya

It's the celebration of this epic glory
How Diwali came to be
A simple poetic story
What Diwali means to me
