Spoke The Rook Poem by Randy McClave

Said the Rook unto the Pawn
I am no better than you or anyone,
I am just a piece in the game
And you are the same.
We sit upon the battlefield the board
We are placed there to protect our lord,
Pride and strength into us was seeded
Each one of us are important, and needed.
Your moves are different than mine
But, that was our creator's design,
We neither one was created to cheat or sin
But, to strategize and then to win.
There is also the Bishop and the King and Queen
And with me and you we all number sixteen,
With my belief and my creator's decree;
There is no one who is better than me.
