The Carpet

The carpet has two sides The upper surface with patterns The underside plain It describes two worlds The rich and the poor The dignity and the informality The solemn and the ordinary The authority and the civilian The high reputation and the low reputation The publicity and no visibility The difference makes the two extremes Unroll the carpet red and shining You're the king or queen of that moment Rolled up the carpet dull and dusty You're yourself or a step lower Why not Always be a figure that live In the hearts of people With or without the carpet Like God who is the almighty Of all mankind Irrelevant of man's origin
