Because we no longer believe we spend months preparing for a festival whose true meaning scares us so we bury it under greed and gluttony to escape the cold slanting sadness that is our fate.

Its true, CGP. But, i feel its very subjective...

Devika - isn't most poetry subjective?
I agree CGP..in fact i write about me and my life...
But here, the generalisation with the use of 'we' made me doubt...
hope my comment didn't annoy you...it's in me to write what i feel openly..its a spur of the moment reaction...nothing too deep in it :)
