Brainwash My pawns are carved from the ivories ripped from flesh are the tusks I need to have agency, my moves I look forward to in any direction through hearts I may pierce a game of thrones when I win the board it's clear wrists bloodied from the combatants my treasured knights toss their plated platinum gauntlets not for the queen of queens nor a worthless king but for forcible indoctrination to induce to give up basic political, social, and religious beliefs and attitudes and to accept contrasting regimented ideas

Anaya, I see you're on a chess roll of late. This use of power to force people to comply is quite a bet if that is what's at stake. As we know, it's a very serious game with stakes so high. I give you a lot of credit for heading in this direction. Smiles!!
