Premium Member We Are Pawns
Nothing is permanent. Death proves that In a glaring way With no apology Or heartfelt concern for us She does not creep. She pounces with a mighty mouth Devouring our loved ones Suddenly And completely No matter how much we think we are ready We are not Death is a reminder We are not in charge And we had better enjoy every moment We can while we still have...

Premium Member Pawns On a Chess Board
Some said they lost all hope; Some did, you saw it in their eyes: That little light That shines so bright Became dull and disappeared. Some became bitter, some wise, Some couldn't cope. That small white Flicker, once bright, Slowly went out. So often that is what I see In eyes, even on TV, and I recognise, For I was there. I was where I did despise What back then became...

Note To Pawns
Why would a deity ask you to kill, If their power was really so great? Why would a deity grant you free will but then give you a pre-ordained fate? If your god and my god were really at war there’d be reason for us both to grieve, But why would our gods need us both to fight...

Premium Member Pawns Brokers
Pawns Brokers “Grit is a better word or term”. They have it – these “Grunts” - grit – that sandpaper bearded coarseness structure in the face of fallacy, backbone to support the flaws of the wishy-washy conspirators. Perseverance in the face of punishments wet boots and leaky tents, rubbers to cover “rifles and guns”, tenacity in the face of tedium, the character, will, and fiber of...

Worthless Pawns
The faded shacks stretch 'neath the stained grey sky, As stagnant urine and disease creep in. Hunched at the pyramid's tight base we lie; Looked down upon by our superiors. In this poor life we’ve been condemned to die; Forever stuck in our unwanted caste! Our tummies are filled with what can’t be sold, Our hopes and dreams just playful fantasies. Drained from...

From Empires To Pawns
It might be cliche but we must right all our wrongs. Bringing downfall to the susceptible ones. I know I am not. One to preach. But truth and dignity, from which I Believe. Come old faithful one. Enlighten by my Sun. Shaping the fortunes for worlds to come. Denying all grief. For I am the beholder of Sum. Stray away from paths, less likely to...

Pawns of the Pawn
Yes indeed, their inhibitions have been freed; they knew the public in this republic, They knew them well and our bent towards hell, They made up a bill while drinking their swill, to destroy a nation by charm of oration. They chose a man from a different land with the power to persuade as if to aid. Of course he’s part of...

For three years we haven't even received a cost of living increasee while their income they have increased handsomely. They have as they so...
