Religion At It’s Best Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Religion At It’s Best

Rating: 5.0


Yesterday it was so beautiful
A sparkling sunny day of newborn September
My ears could hear
High-pitched cackles all around me
My eyes could see
Stunning milky-white skin wrapped in
Valentino chiffon silk dress
Asthenic right hand holding
A Gucci crystal clutch bag
White Gold Ruby and Diamond Medallion Pendant
Scintillating around her slender neck
In atrophic left wrist she was
Wearing a white gold Rolex masterpiece
Glossy-coral, kiss-proof lipstick having a golden sheen
Dancing on her tender lips
Curved eye lashes strengthened with
Dior waterproof Mascara
Acrylic sculpted nails
Ignorant of the pain
Which my dried skin could suffer…

Today sun is at the same setting
And the day is not bad at all
The door moved slowly
And she entered
Like west wind forgot her way today
White- Sateen, long- sleeved gown
Falling from neck to below her ankles
No single millimeter of milky-white skin
My transparent eyes could capture
Except her lusterless face
Streaked brunette hair, all covered with
Sheer black, Cashmere- Linen scarf
No more diamonds, rubies or gold
No more Gucci, Dior or Rolex
Sleepy, wet and lifeless eyes
Fixed on the dry floor
Dehydrated lips
Afraid of uttering even a single word…

Shockingly, I asked;
Why, what happened?
She replied in a soulful tone,
“I am fasting today…”

'kiss proof lipstick' plus the other glitters. Really touches on the truth of opulence well. Great satire with much truth
