the midnight fire crackers



The midnight fire crackers
It cracked the quiet night
The tiring bodies hovering to rest
It jolted out of its slumber

The midnight nuisance
It cracked up the dark night
With sparks and boom boom
The neighbourhood cried

Even the humming birds
The night seemed a long drag
Under camouflage of the bamboo leaves
It wasn't a quiet night

The dogs and cats of strays
They were silent in the night
Maybe they hid somewhere
It reminded them of something else

The midnight fire crackers
It got the neighbourhood wide awake
Watching the sparkling lights and boom boom
It never could be a quiet night
