BEHIND THE SCENE

The world, a stage, 
Where scripts are scripted to scenes, 
Casts rehearse and cram their lines, 
Some distorting the manuscripts.

The prompters patiently waiting, 
For a penitent heart,
To refit and redirect a course, 
Pride a shield to their souls.

Drunk by the mundane of popularity, 
Relegating the Scripter behind the scene, 
Building castles in the air,
Footing fruitless bills.

On a bustling and hustling roles, 
Some casts sink in suffocation, 
And take the exit route,
Waiting to receive their retributions, 
Behind the scene.
