ग्राम-कामठा, तहसील-नवागढ़, जिला-बेमेतरा (छत्तीसगढ़) से गौकरण वर्मा दीपावली के शुभ अवसर पर कविता के माध्यम से गरीब परिवारों के दुःख को व्यक्त कर रहे हैं जो छत्तीसगढ़ी भाषा में हैं:
ऐ गा भैया दिवाली असो के साल जन आते-
घर घर ले पाक गए हन ऊपर ले जन हलाते-
ठन-ठन मन थन सब झर गए है-
ऊपर ले टूरा के दाई बीमार पड़ गए हे-
तेखरे ऊपर ले तै कभु आबे ता लड़केच मन ला रोवाबे...
