Musings on the Game |
||||
Once upon… |
Take a life symbolically. Take a life just to survive. Take a life for pure example To demonstrate we are alive. See the bigger picture. Look beyond the board. Layer upon… A pawn… A paw on… Layer In greed, in deed, we hoard. But ponder Pawn, dear, On significance… Cause without effect. The holy, wholly, holey unexplainable. What one must protect! Strategically we travel. Regal parliament. Conquering each destination Imposing our self-righteous intent. Virtuously we group. We gather and we stand. We fight the noble battle Our job, now, to defend. |
Asserting as best as we can. |
And
so the classes change import. Our status, not as concrete. When beliefs crumble to dust, The rules of love and war retreat. Into the throes of lust We may find our mighty cause Has lost its sense of balance. Therefore, one must pause. Paws upon the landscape Tread beyond such laws. A lawyer seeks a hidden clause, Watch out for those sharpened claws! A wise old owl calls out its warning to the Knave. Love is war. War is love. Which is more Insane? I am but a pawn Traveling upon Imagined terrain. Musing upon A pawn A paw on This mysterious ancient game. --Rhea Giffin ©2004 |
