Playing Chase With Death

So far you have made crafty moves Already two queens dead And am left shaken numb I ponder and trickthink to counter But your mean eyes are fixed on the black squares You miss no steps, no time, no direction You pace silently stealth You damn ugly clawed hand Why have you taken away my Queen? Queen Sarah sits no more in her throne You dash dash and roll And nap my lovely Queen Queen Repher is no more Two planets out of my solar system My light shine but only in darkness Of the black chase board square Then Mosomi the commando gone Next to him falls Kikuyu Bandia Karugu! The goose has complained While Angel Michael standby me He cheers me on and so I march on The battle is not mine, but the Lord's
