Best Checkmate Poems

why will men fight and suffer to advance the interests of their masters, who fling them aside when they have no further use for them?

Arthur Findlay



The black king and the white king, well they didn't see eye to eye
A war was looming, but not them;...

Concentrating on board
Hiding the feelings you hoard
Expecting your next move
Consciousness you can't remove
Keeping a distance and defend
Minding a stance, not offend
A move of surviving, not losing
To conquer is not just winning
End of the game... in Chess!...

An alter ego of ours
A humble church mate
Waked up an kneel down for hours
To everybody, its a checkmate
He was diagnosed a disease canker
Oh no to live impossible
Everybody concluded it's cancer
To his prayers life was possible
He felt the pain of the wound
To be healed,only prayers in...

Clever queen, I maneuvered my way through all of the subtle and most obvious plays 
Masterfully 
Sensual aestheticism, sexual teetotalism, romanticism, sadism, masochism, hedonism 
Calculating many moves in advance, I played the game mercilessly 
Surrounding my opponents with a plethora of carefully crafted traps 
I...

Pawn
You've been a peon, lowly pawn your whole life
Never amounted to much,
nothing much ever went right
Grew up dirt piss poor,
never knew the reason why
you were put on this earth for
So you start cyber chasing every get-rich-scam or scheme,
cashing out is a lame loser's favorite daily...

His eyes can not register the disbelief, that his defenses were not at all a defense. The equation was 
too complex, nor could his brain fathom how stratigically his opponent manipulated him. He believed his 
plan to be flawless, every piece placed with intention to...

I was surviving in life, just doing my thing,
Only one day to realize, my life, was a mess.
In life’s chess game, God had my attention,
With life in the balance, I dared not to guess.

With worry plaguing me, and spirit bound,
I accepted Jesus Christ as my...

life
can be
like chess 
sometimes;
and I don’t 
know how 
to play

I was standing in the checkout line,
And man! She was looking oh so fine,
so I checked her up and down,
but then given a big frown...
that wedding ring was her tell-tale sign.

This is it
I give up
I throw in the towel
I draw the curtains
I pull down the shades
I close the doors shut
Finito
The end;

No more haggling
No more beseeching
No more whining
No more whimpering
I'll call it a day,
Saddle sore
I am heading home
I am out of the race -
Get me off...

Three months is date 
Six months our hearts pulsate 
Ninth month is here
If there isn't hate
Then soon will be a year  
We're really to believe it to be fate? 

Smothering ourselves in this theory 
A concept based solely upon the idealistic "soulmate" 
By this,...
