Chess
Life is
A game of chess.
Just kings
And knights
And pawns.
You have to
Know where you stand,
Or another will
Find you.
One wrong move,
And you will
Pay for it-
Either immediately
Or later in the game.
Life is a game
Of keen thought,
Strategy,
Indecisiveness,
Mistakes,
And revenge.
Even in the
Perfect game,
Someone always loses.
Life is just
Dominating and
Living with triumph,
Or getting lost
And never finding
The solution.
Life is
A game of chess,
Striving for
One goal-
You have
One chance;
Don't blow it.
Life is
Just playing a game
Where making the
Same stupid mistake
Costs you.
But now,
It seems you have
Challenged me-
Life is
A game of chess
And you made
The wrong move.
