Melani Udaeta Poet Other

Poetic Podcast Episode 18 Bop

Black and white motives, it was simple;  
The camera rolled before words came,
an adventure played on screen;
Technicolor breathed even more energy
into that delicious cinema magic;
It was all about the best way to tell a tale.

Once upon a time Hollywood had a story to tell..

As it chased what the dollars dictated
slowly the red carpet flames faded; 
It didn’t matter who was creative 
no chances were going to be taken;
Art locked out of every studio door
exchanged for recycled reboots;
No risk in more of a sure thing;
Now we are left with creativity dying;

Once upon a time Hollywood had a story to tell..

Work places know to keep off of topics 
that are known to impede their business;
The film industry is not exempt from this.
Create the most compelling product,
leave out their allegiances keep their art.
Bring back all the ‘Happily ever after.’

Once upon a time Hollywood had a story to tell.
