Checkmate!

Checkmate!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

The game of life!

"
Life is laughing right in my face;

 

As it and I are locked in a game of chess

 

It simply laughs as I move my king to take it's pawn,

 

Leaving my queen unprotected

 

It looks at me as it takes full advantage of my asinine move

 

See, I have no fricking idea what I'm doing, or how to play

 

I was screwing around (and boy, was Around ever pissed!);

 

And should have been paying better attention,

 

Or any at all; because now life is kicking my a*s!

 

It's shaking it's head and chuckling, like I just made

 

THE stupidest move; like I'm

 

The dumbest b*****d it's ever seen,

 

Which is true in a way, if truth be told!

 

 "Checkmate!"  S**t!

Obviously things are going to go wrong if you don't use your queen to protect your king. The queen can take care of itself.
