Chess Is Life?
Not about winning
More about strategy
What you sacrifice
Are willing to lose
To gain self respect
The pieces stand
Or fall
Move counters move
Its a mental dance
But who leads the rhythm
There is structure
Following convention
Yet unconventional chaos
Shows strength of mind
A willingness to see beyond
Subtle traps laid
Really smoke and mirrors
A focused distraction
To lull you in
Before the masterstroke
What you are defending
Attacking for
Is lover, child , yourself
We play chess
from womb to tomb
