Movies Fill Our Lives
Dr Abe V Rotor
Of pirates and witches...
Fantasy comes down to earth alive
in flesh walking: ghosts, fairies,
creatures of sea and land they thrive
in human laughter and tears
that fill empty lives e’en just a while
and give the world a break
in the idleness of time passing by
cares and worries at stake
where friends and foes hold hands,
monsters tame and meek;
stories sad and happy cater to fans,
all for freedom they seek
from doctrinaire and conventions;
for it’s imagination that rules
and dictates all human institutions
with technology its tools;
movies – books visual, by audition,
in make believe and reality,
man’s gift to himself, his own invention,
his passport to liberty. ~
Wizard of Oz and fairytales
Of forest deities and kingdoms
Finding Nemo, the friendly fish
Of old cultures and postmodern
And adventure with the imagination …
