• The Game of Kings

    Friends all around you
    Different on the scale
    Some may succeed
    And some may fail

    You need to move quick
    Though time is on your side
    And watch for the rules
    Which you must abide

    Send out the Pawns
    To claim what is yours
    It just takes a move
    And so starts these wars

    White takes the center
    Black sneaks around
    He hunts in his pattern
    Moves without sound

    But he landed in a trap
    Stuck, still, and bound
    The Bishop charges forward
    And the Knight is cut down

    A flawless kill
    The Bishop had said
    But then out of nowhere
    He's bashed in the head

    The Pawn moves diagonally
    To take his place
    All happy and content
    With a grin on his face

    The White King yells orders
    You here, now there
    Black's Queen is on the loose
    And hes very aware

    The Queen finds a good spot
    She burrows in deep
    She's spotted her prey
    Soon the King she will reap

    The Bishop interposes
    Between his King, and their Queen
    She must make a decision
    Based on the scene

    The Queen calls her Rook
    To fight by her side
    White surely would kill her
    But the rules have him tied

    If he finishes her now
    White's kingdom will fall
    If he stays, Black advances
    Backing King 'gainst the wall

    He's forced to stay
    His Knight couldn't make it
    Black's Queen rushes forward
    Sees the Bishop, will take it

    She stares down the King
    There will be no hate
    It was played oh so fairly
    White's now in check mate
