A sudden boom momentarily, a quiet and darkness

Then the skies lighted up, an umbrella of colors engulfed the night

Just as sudden a few more followed sprinkling myriads of goodness

Evoking effects of noise, smoke, floating materials and light

Rocketed upwards flames and sparks of euphoria

Into the air to explode in variety of sizes, shapes and flavor

Accompanied with whoops of joy and shouts of hysteria

A family fare in all innocence to rally around together

Sophistication in fireworks management was not obscure

Aerial fireworks launched with compressed air rather than gunpowder

The display shell exploded in the air using an electronic timer

Put to good use in the Disney’s Epcot night time spectacular

Compressed air launch was logical and a better alternative

Ensured greater accuracy in height and timing of activities

Disney the largest consumer of fireworks in US perspectives

The fireworks were used to accompany their many festivities

All well and good to be able to enjoy such offerings

Injuries and accidental fires occurred, even premature explosions

For both ground or aerial fireworks came with risks of sufferings

Remember the San Diego botched display that went up in 15 seconds!

Besides the noise what about environmental pollution

Potential health risks, hazardous by-products, debris and acid rain

We are still lucky fireworks are not done on a daily occurrence

Nor are fireworks factories accidentally obliterated and flattened!
