This country is in turmoil and we shoot off fireworks all
night long.
People are fearful of the virus without knowing how to
protect themselves against this invisible “thing” and we
shoot off fireworks all night long in celebration of being
part of this country with all its lofty principles.
There was a time when I looked for the place from where
all the colorful and varied fire crackers were launched.
This evening a neighbor asked me to join them and
celebrate the crackling sparkles in the street. There
was no coordinated center with thousands of people
admiring the range of colors illuminating the dark sky
for just moments. This evening bangs and explosions
were spread all over town and they weren’t impressive.
I didn’t have that spark in my heart to celebrate, this
year, though I laughed and chatted with my neighbors,
students (young couples) having small-time fun without
masks and proper distance - no fear!
What’s going on in this tumultuous world? Distant Bangs
and explosions slowly fade with the night preparing for
another day!.
Happy fifth!
