Hollywood is sinking
And watching it go down
Is a sad delight of mine
I think it’s capitalism
Producers just throw money at writers
And they give them a deadline of yesterday
So these writers
They have to sell tickets
They have to earn their worth–
With short time
And being very aware of the audience
These shitty movies and tv shows
Are pumped out of them
I can’t help but think of cows
And how they are treated here in America
Constantly pumped for milk
By the millions
In tiny stalls
With their babes taken away from them
I can hear their screams,
can you?
Writers
Are the new cows
Consumers and producers
Are pumping them dry
It is about quantity
Not quality
In this era of constant stimulation
These writers are pumping their legs
With their heads barely above water
Trying to stay afloat
But the ship sinks
The milk has run dry
And now we are fed the same stories
Over and over again
Let it sink
And the next generation of writers
Can take it over
Maybe they
Will have better luck
-C.H.
