Lifelong chess game

16 July 2024 6:57 AM Morning contemplations a life long game of chess Planning my every move and weighing consequence Choices made and more to come Second by second sun to sun I hear time ticking in the back of my mind Tick tick tock tock an irregular rhythm sublime Time is not steady as one may think It speeds up and slows down many times in a blink So I must plan carefully every single move Every thoughts solution I must consider and prove So many variables in this complex equation So many to many for every occassion I add multiply divide and subtract Every detail rumor and fact Every tid bit of knowledge and information To form my own opinion my own soveriegn nation Existing only in my mind King of nothing but wasting time I think there for I am Such is the life of man
