Checkmate
why will men fight and suffer to advance the interests of their masters, who fling them aside when they have no further use for them? Arthur Findlay The black king and the white king, well they didn't see eye to eye A war was looming, but not them; it was the pawns that would die They placed them up to the front, with their cavalry at the rear No side had any notion of backing down, and no side showed fear. God is surely with us, the bishops on both sides proclaimed Anyone saying otherwise would have been publicly shamed A white pawn was the first to move forward, ready for the fight But in just a couple of moves was struck down, by a black knight. Two white knights moved forward in a blazing counter attack The black pieces managed to hold the line and didn't fall back Then a white bishop moved forward in a straight diagonal line Black King told his pawns to move forward; everything will be fine. The black queen wanted action and urged her pawns to be brave But it wouldn't be her or the king that would be digging their grave One by one her pawns were slaughtered, like lambs on the battlefield A ceasefire was out of the question, because neither side would yield. But the proud white king was about, to meet an agonising fate When the black queen with her knights, declared a checkmate But there were really no winners or losers, in this senseless war Supporters on both sides wondered, what the hell it was all for. The two main players in the background escaped without a scratch And were already preparing to meet on the battlefield, for a rematch Both sides exchanged their battered pieces of the injured and the slain And maybe tomorrow or the next day were preparing to do it all again. Meanwhile the arms manufacturers, were making big monetary gain Whilst the landed gentry ate caviar and sipped on their champagne Victory parades were held in all the towns, with all the pomp and flair Hollow platitudes read out to mourn the dead, but do they really care?
