Belligerent Nature of Chess
War on a chessboard, cutthroat and intense,
Vicious attacks and desperate defence.
Battle of wits with such a charming thing -
The Queen has upper hand over the king.
He has the crown yet as the game moves on,
Too often at the mercy of a pawn.
All King’s men go through ephemeral fame
‘Til sudden savage death at the endgame.
Game of thrones - power plots, schemes, strikes and strife,
Once hooked, one’s royally intrigued for life!
