Behind All Shutters. Poem by Obiaeli Ifediirichukwu Victor

Behind all shutters...there is a life
Far beyond all lenses, there is an eye
Such that peeps to give awesome shot
Shutters...up and down they clatter
Like marble stones scattered amidst sunlight
So are they
Glittering the outward cover that prides around their ego
Echoing unto the vultures that prey on night carcass

Like lightning flashing from above the skies
Thunder that the unknown dreaded
A life with view, without say
Like statues moulded to the concrete floor
They move...but on a distinct note
So they are
Getting others to recognition and fame
To heights beyond the imagination of their attainments

To all those who only exist behind the flashlight
To all that are famous in the dark alone
To all that seep through million lenses
Although to the world you are but mediocre
But to your crew, you are epic
So are you
You who give reason to our screen
Though you live in the dark
The camera will always have you happy...
The film will always make you wealthy
A life behind the scene of scenes.
