Love Poem: Celebration

Celebration

Do we celebrate
but when there is a smoke
on the air?
do we celebrate
but when there is an echo
or sound of something around?
do we celebrate
but when there is a new
way to an end?
do we celebrate
but when it is that we
have a turn to share
our own views?
do we celebrate
but when it is that we
have settled and
worked to advance it?
ah! do we celebrate
but to join the world
in the same ways of her dreams
to participate a part of our
own?.
