Chessboard of Life
Standing alone in the chessboard of life...
Distinguishing between the black & the white...
A hell lot of allies all around...
But yet I'm solitary when rivals surround:
I'm the king of the clan yet...
A paltry pawn is also a threat!
In the chequered track as I inch ahead,
A thousand fears dangle over my head...
In every step,all is at stake...
Ruins will rain with my slightest mistake!
Sometimes,I fear my own men~
As if conspiracy is there in their Ken;
Fed up I am with the thorns in the throne....
Having plethora of possessions,there is nothing that I own!!!
