Chess

32 black squares,

32 white squares,

16 black,

16 white,

 

Kings facing each other,

Soldiers facing each other,

White attacks,

Black defends,

Battle begins.

 

Rook’s defending,

Knights forking,

Bishop’s assassinating,

Queens checking,

Pawns avenging,

King is always running.

 

Pieces being traded,

Sacrifices happening,

Some brave ones die,

Some have no choice but to die,

Some are shields.

 

Soldiers avenging their brothers,

While moving forward,

Reaching the end,

Getting promoted,

While carrying dark memories,

One becomes victorious,

The other one surrenders.

 

After the battle,

Mourning happens,

Going to each square,

And writing R.I.P,

Remembering brothers.
