Checkmate

An army of insufferable odds piled against you


With might a little one like you cannot fathom


Whether you be black or white, wrong or true


Whoever you are is a potential assassin


In this game, you are given a piece


One piece can do far more than the rest


But the winners come from those who seek


To become the winner of this game of chess


When you revel in your immaturity


And disgrace yourself for what you could have been


Remember this statement's sincerity:


Even a pawn can slay a queen


All you need is careful, silent planning


To guide whatever you have to for something


Move in silence, and only say


One word when you've found it: Checkmate.
