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
