A Burnt Sparkler

I am none other than a sparkler burnt,
To which, those people praise for colors bright,
Emitted when it burns with it's life spent,
That form a shiny show in shady night.

But when my vigor gone and burning stops,
The ones who praised, away me worthless throw;
And another in place of mine, just pops!
To face the same fate, to make them all wow.

Those praises I got when I used to shine,
Though I no longer shine, I want them back.
But all my cravings and long thirst of mine
Could not make me burn; my fuel I do lack.

So enjoy all those colors while I burn.
God made me this way, to die for your fun.
