Only in the making of movies, <br />Are actors found to be handed scripts. <br />To then learn lines some find to be tedious. <br />And time well spent is sacrificed to deliver, <br />What's right for the price... <br />For the cost being paid. <br /> <br />Camera angles are selected, <br />By a director who chooses the best scenes. <br />And the actors are blocked within them, <br />To emote with belief as an audince viewing this... <br />Sits, <br />With their emotions manipulated. <br /> <br />Only in the making of movies, <br />Are 'realities' depicted. <br />Although many in the audience become captivated, <br />With beliefs they also can deceive truth easily. <br />By saying and doing things they wish to sell. <br />With hopes their 'portrayals' have gone over well. <br /> <br />And only those who become offended, <br />They can not sell lies they told to tell... <br />Are those who become combative, <br />When confronted by others... <br />Who are specific and direct AND caring less, <br />How a charade is masqueraded to address. <br /> <br />Only in the making of movies, <br />Are actors found to be handed scripts. <br />To then learn lines some find to be tedious. <br />Until what is done has been finished. <br />But many unpaid to 'act' but embellish facts, <br />Find it difficult to strip away all their fantasies. <br /> <br />Only in the making of movies... <br />No one sits back to snack. <br />Only in the making of movies... <br />Every actor wants to get paid. <br />And, <br />Only in the making of movies... <br />No one sits back to snack. <br />No one has time for that, <br />Since a budget has to be paid back. <br />Oh. <br />Only in the making of movies... <br />No one sits back to snack. <br />Only in the making of movies... <br />Every actor wants to get paid. <br />And, <br />Only in the making of movies... <br />No one sits back to snack. <br />No one has time for that, <br />Since a budget has to be paid back. <br />Oh. <br />Only in the making of movies... <br />Facts are scratched! <br />And, <br />Only in the making of movies... <br />Facts are scratched!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
