The black pawn
Eats alone in his own 
Dark corner 
White pawns with swastikas
Hound him on the chessboard...

What kind of evil world must we live in
The rich get the King’s free pass
While the poor are the pawns

She lays siege to pawns across the board
Graceful yet armed with a swift sword

Fake smiles under a plastic mask

Politicians are no one's friend

They're madmen's pawns who shirk the task

Forever making mice of men...

Game of Pawns
Dice and pieces, blown on trusses
Numbers and feathers, trots and roaming
Spice with dashes, thrown in sashes
Dots and wreaths, clots and breaths reeming...

Rick is willilng to sacrifice his happiness
As Ilsa was willing to sacrifice her husband's love
Both unwilling pawns created by a war
neither of them started or will finish...

Stalemate
This universe is a chequered board
Where facts are sacrificed as pawns
To defend ideas antediluvian.

Our horizon is constantly receding
Knowledge and ignorance clash
Ending in a stalemate....

Untouchables
In this poor life we’ve been condemned to die,
Forever stuck in our unwanted caste;
Pawns, broken by society,
Hunched at the pyramid's base we lie;
We are the untouchables of mankind.

Hatersss
i hate when others snicker
at all my abstract ways
when all they do is bicker
there seems to be a haze
that keeps us all in position
like pawns on checkered boards
i move by intuition
and thru it, reasured...

Some think Trump is their savior
others think he's a lust laden bum
a devil pushing pawns just for the fun
but strip the smoke from the mirror  
and the image becomes much clearer
he's just a bloated reflection of us....

Limerick : Once a Lion of a Man in ruin

Once a Lion of a Man in ruin
Tried to salvage his pawns and queer Queen
Far too late t’was end-game
Even his Knight was lame
So he reset rules and horsed his Queen !

Premium Member Losing the Throne Hc
as two knights advance
 three pawns make defensive moves
 one queen is captured

 Two advancing knights  have made it known
 Three pawns cannot keep one queen on the throne

The snow has turned dirty
exposing the filth of man-unkind
one year later -still standing in our corners.
At the masquerade ball
six hundred sixty six feet apart..
the Xi virus-whirling in the middle
making red froth with his favorite pawns....
