Trying to become
A big star
In the movies
Not everyone is lucky
Aspiring actors many
Tried and failed plenty
Trying to earn a penny

No other choice
Still hear their inner voice
Seen ordinary guys turn into celebrities
Green room their only known territory
End up as movie extras
Known as background artist
Tough life waiting to be called
Every extra thinks he's the next superstar
Irony in the fact
Evidence in their favour

Their dreams destroyed
Settled into their new avataar
Part of show biz
Last choice in their list

Part of  crowd scenes
Indistinguishable face no one noticed
A fellow extra the neighbour befriended
Who' also was rejected

Weather and conditions
Not taken into consideration
In costume for entire call sheet
No choice but to make peace

Part of the scenery
They add the authenticity
Movie making efforts collaborative
They add to the narrative

No reason to be treated badly
Dreams did not come true
Written in their destiny
Statistically impossible must have chosen carefully

A profession with dignity
Uncredited or bit parts
Terms as these don't to justice
Things didn't work out as promised

Imagine a movie
Done away with them fully
Watching a movie makes you realise
That you are watching a movie

No greater blunder
Than to make the audience aware
To draw them into the story
Rests on the burden these extras carry

In front of the camera
Everyone is an actor
Behind the camera
Everyone is a crew member

Know their value
Added to keep it true
Name not in the titles
If not for them there is no Title
