The Red Carpet Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

The Red Carpet

Rating: 5.0


1)
They are greeted on the red carpet;
Hands shacked smiling;
Warmth welcome

By the frontier thorny fence
Soldiers are bleeding;
The blood guard the border
Safety country first by blood;
fresh red blood

Oh! Red blood of border
Here warmth welcoming red carpet


2)
They walk on the red carpet
Oscar holders they are

Super duper hit the film
Blockbuster!
Best in the income,
Best in the season

O money
You the blood, sweating
of the laborious hands;
O money
You the futile wastage, dust
of the lazy actors, actresses


For the entertainment
The cheaper income holders
Go to the cinema hall;
By their daily income
Our heroes and heroines wear the splendid…..,
enjoy the red carpets

Oh! It's not red carpet
It's red blood of cheaper peoples income

3)
They walk on the red carpet
Spiritual men they are,
Holy and sage men they are,
Overall the world religion preachers!

Oh! They preach good advice
They preach sitting on the highest throne
They climb on the throne by red carpet

Followers, the cheapest peoples
Make this path,
Make this throne,
Make holy places;
By their daily income
Our spiritual men enjoy the preaching,
enjoy the life of good advising on the lazy throne


O money
You the blood, sweating
of the laborious hands;
O money
You the futile wastage, dust
of the lazy holy message preachers, advisors

Oh! It's not red carpet
It's red blood of cheapest peoples income

Absolutely brilliant. The red carpet comes to symbolize the cost of everything, while standing for the value of nothing. This poem goes to myfavourites.

When celebrities and heads of Nations are greeted with the red carpet and when they walk through the read carpet, nobody actually remembers that they enjoy the privileges because of the sweat and blood of ordinary people who are never in the picture. The soldiers who spill their blood to safeguard the freedom of their fellow men are also soon forgotten! Altogether we live in a thankless world! A very powerful poem Mahtab!
