Behind The Scene | Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke

The world is 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.

Poet's note: This poem is dedicated to all humanity. It explores the vanity of life. Indeed life is like a stage where actors come, perform their roles and take the exit route. We must all give accounts of our stewardship to the Scripter when we are called to glory. God is behind the scenes watching. The prompters are always waiting to redirect our course of action and bring us closer to God. But when we fail to pervert from our unrighteous ways, then we bear the blunts and bunt of our fate.
