Make Her a Movie

The lines to the food drop

Wind long through the woods

The hulks of the armor

Now rust where they stood

A clump on a black street

The middle of day

Smoke in the background

A house is ablaze

The child she is holding

Is withered and

grey

They say it just happened

It Happened today

Make her a movie

Or a sad novelette

Show her as fake news

On the Daily Gazette 

Drape her in diamonds

And lift up her heels

Make her a hero

Just don’t make her real

Put her on Broadway

Her name bathed in lights

Make it her debut

A record first night

turn off the darkness

And hear our appeal 

Make her a big star

Just don’t make her real

At least she’s a story

That’s one step away

She may be a fiction

Just written today

It may be a mercy

A mercy to me

To see her on tv

Not dead in the street

So Make her a movie

Or a sad novelette

Show her as fake news

On the Daily Gazette 

Drape her in diamonds

And lift up her heels

Make her a hero

Just don’t make her real
