Pawns and Potentates
May 1, 2024
The Queen thrusts the pawn forward into battle.
A small sacrifice to make,
strengthening her position in the game of life.
The pawn, unpowerful, trivial, obeying its master.
Hurling itself into a frigid, forgetful death.
Forever forgotten, and lost in the chaos.
Two monarchs battle from above.
Safe, unscathed, out of harm’s way.
Apathetic to the pieces they move below.
An enjoyable battle,
for nothing but a family feud.
Such fun are the games of war.
