Chess

Chess is a game, life is the pieces./ Moms, dads, and uncles. Aunts, siblings, nieces./ All positioned on the checkerboard of time/ Each thinking that the other one is just a ball of slime./ Blacks vs. Whites/ Each picking their own fights/ But in control of all around/ Is the king who thinks he wears the crown/ Bush and Sedam/ push us all around/ losing people left and right/ Pieces with no reason to fight/ They don't care, the hatred blinds them/ Men and women. Lives of children./ The cost is dear,/ we all hope the end is near./ Bombs and missiles pollute the tortured air/ Killing people without a smidge of care.
