PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

"Barefoot in the Park"; "Dancer in the dark";

What all strange titles the movie men offer!

How can we be amused when agonies afflict us,

How can we ignore the suffering around us?



How can I be in a mood to sit and enjoy,

"Gaslight", "Brave heart" and "Rob Roy"?

How can we pass time thus with problems abounding,

With Zorro and the dancer, fencing and prancing?



It is true we too need rest but are movies the answer?

Tell me my dearest, before tuning to "Godfather".

Marilyn and Lamarr, Brook Shields and Lopez*,

They surely look ravishing, but still I confess:

This world is afflicted with pain and misery,

It's not a fairyland as described by Disney*.



So O folks out there who think like I do,

Let us do our bit for the needy, the downtrodden,

I agree Gable and Monroe, Bogie and Bergman*,

Are screen legends and cannot be forgotten,

But there is a world around us which beckons us for help

Let us play our parts in bettering their lives too.
