Chess Poem by Ethan Wilson

Chess



I found a pawn today
And I thought so I thought
What if life was like this game?
And oh how I would not like to be a pawn

No I would not want to be king or queen
I would want to be a castle or knight
For I would not be targeted I would be free
From all the blundering fights

But then who would want to be the pawn I said
For to be a higher power there must be something less
But wouldn't everyone rather be dead?
Well then I must confess

That life is much like this game
A game of higher and lower a game known as chess
Where there is war and battle and it drives people insane
Because everyone wants to be king they would rather be the best
