From the hills 

that are Beverly

Whatever that means

To the sign

That says 

¨This is where

You follow your dreams¨

 

It is a city

A city that calls

Millions to try

to follow

Their call

 

To act

To sing

Though some

never do

 

Some don't

make it

While others

Our black brothers

Lie bloody

and broken

In the back drop

Of the stars

 

But still

It calls

A call of hope

And a call

of dreams

 

It calls 

For dreamers

Of all colors

To follow their

dream

 

To go to

The city

Where a

Star can

be born

 

Risking it all

To follow

The Call of Hollywood

 

They go to a city

Of plays

Movies

and glittering lights

 

Like sheep

They follow

Their eyes blind

With the hope 

They will make it

Not knowing of the

Bodies left behind
