When Commemoration Becomes Politics and Commerce: The Risk of Showcasing Special Days

 Beware of politicizing and marketing of special days ulterior motives

The calendar, a map of days we prize,

Holds more than just a date, a time to cheer.

A rally held, a slogan neatly spun,

A cause paraded with fake painted grace.

For commerce sees a chance to brightly gleam,

To sell a product, boost a brand's renown.

While politics will weave a grander scheme,

To rally votes, and build a stronger crown.

So celebrate, but look beyond the show,

Where purpose hides, and harmony will grow.
