why is holi celebrated

Prahlad was a child

who lived in a place like wild.
Prahlad used to pray to god,
but his father used to hate lord.

Harinyakashyap, his father had a boon
that he could never die so soon.
He made many plans to kill
but Prahlad was alive still.

He made a plan with his sister
who had a boon too.
He tried fire with Prahlad,
who couldn't do much but could only pray to god.

The wind blew,
and Prahlad got the boon.
As he got the boon,
Holika was no more, very soon.

As Holika was dead,
Holi was celebrated.
And so on and so on,
it was related.
