One Man On the Chessboard...

Busts Your Move!

So…

Are we all just going to sit here?

or are we gonna make a move?

The world requires some “crooks” to keep its castle

For that reason, rooks and straight shooters are essential


Goddesses are blessed with “Lady Luck”

for Queens can move in any direction they please

Fortunately, we need not fear going forth:


If we must correct course, we can retreat home

to rest our bones, restore our power and calculate

before we make another move


We are protected by the armor of our bishops and knights,

who, through nighttime, guard over our yard


I’ll tell you what we ain’t though:


We’re not just another pawn in your game

So, given that I recognize my standing in this game,

I just dropped by to check in

dropped into my condition,

rose forth to let you know

that your king is in check, mate

Cuz I’m about to flip the board,

change this whole game…


For I know life is not black and white

Not to be lived in extremes of dark and light

Not merely judged as neither wrong nor right

Humanity exists as a rainbow spanning across the night
