Chess

Pieces on the board of desires
Is that where we are today
Moving pawns closer
A snails race across the void
Using castles to sneak up
Then suddenly retreat
The knights of negativity
Are no longer needed
The bishop is blessed
For he moves to the edge
The queen is afraid, shaking
Although she is powerful
The king awaits the kill
On the side of understanding
The game of chess we play
Just to waste away the days

People play too many games.
