A POEM: THE MOVIE STAR

THE MOVIE STAR

Hey there, glamorous movie star

Larger than life you virtually are

You've got those gasp-worthy good looks

Your stellar performances are real hooks

Drawing fans from far and wide

Blind somewhat to a dark flipside

They have your full trusty attention

Reverence you've gained like royal intention

Yet life didn't quite start out that way

It was a hard struggle until one day

Walking away from washing dishes at a greasy eatery

A breakthrough came like changing a battery

Your career kicked off under those bright lights

Paparazzi began to reach some newer heights

A private life means you must wear dark shades

To the exception of parties and partners as accolades

Your mansion is worth a mint, in the millions

And the ways of mobility for a ‘glitter’ civilian

Are your cars, maybe yacht, perhaps plane

Accumulations where happiness is hard to contain?

That massive screen established your fame

You've become a god and for yourself made a name

You are a leader with incredible influence

Some spiritual steps would be a good pursuance

Let's take a sample from the character 007

Advocating illicit love, love not from heaven

Not a great role model, no, it falls flat

Misleading, misdirecting, and all of that

A profound message from the Vedas states

A truth that carries some absolute weight

“Whatever leading persons do, commoners follow”

As a star offscreen, are you teaching something wholesome or hollow?

– By Bhaktimarga Swami
