Just Another Game

-

The pieces are set,

The game has begun

To the one who loses,

Their sanity undone

-

The King? The Queen?

Who should they be?

Which pieces to sacrifice,

Will you choose me?

-

The pawns, your defense

With your Queen, you oppose

With each piece that you lose

Your desperation, it grows

-

Crooked are Bishops

One on black, one on white

Two elegant dancers

Both forced into the fight

-

The Knights? Royal servants

They're there to be used

Is that your opinion?

Such abstracted views

-

Rooks or Castles,

To defend or destroy

Tell me, how many

Will you send to the void?

-

Behind enemy lines,

You can't let them in

Which pieces to gamble,

Which lives to end?

-

Every piece should be treasured

No matter how weak

If you failed to notice

You're future looks bleak

-

All your pieces now lost

But I still wish to know,

Who's the King? All these sacrifices,

But nothing to show

-

The King's not the ruler

He's the one to protect

So who is your King?

Have you decided yet?

-

Checkmate, you lost

You've got nothing left

Your kingdom destroyed,

Time to pay up the debt

-

But, to you it's all just a game

Just barely sane, and yet

The endless battle continues

The pieces, reset
