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
