On The Board Square Sixty Four Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

On The Board Square Sixty Four

Rating: 5.0


The queen fosters who?
He- the king canopied
His motion beyond borders
Having censored, limited

The clergymen and the nobles
The rookie swindlers too
And the cool-headed commoners,
That always moves up straight-
All these never squander him
Render loyalty

Attack defend retreat
Or surging up alike
It remains always a war upfront
To fight over and win

It is all a game of chess-
On the board, the border, life...

Yes indeed. The king gets checkmated. Not the queen! Liked?
