Wall-E

A simple screen,
Projected on a wall
The amusmant of
An animated Cartoon

The striking image
The darkening colours
Four friends watch
In awe of the picture

Death.
it strikes the heart
tearing her down
no-one noticed
[poor gal]

I comfort her
there was still,
though we would deny it
A certain spark between us.

She weeps
Times are hard for her
A lost love
A lost friend

We hope, we pray
Look for the good things
A pillow factory
The smiles of children

And we'll manage
T pull through it all
God will hold us close-
we are his children - after all

I cried.
And I agree.
I like the last few lines especially, the punctuation and the rhythm really work.
