Dedicated to RowanHunter because it reminds me of you. I told you this one was special. :)

Everything is black and white
The pieces cold ivory
♠♠♠
Nameless
Faceless
No say in their fate
No control over how they move
Or when they die
♠♠♠
They watch their comrades fall around them
But still they stand
♠♠♠
They await their fate
Their time to die
The day when they too will join
Their fallen comrades
Beside the board
♠♠♠
The board where they must fight for every square
Until they too are sacrificed
For the survival of the rest
♠♠♠
As time goes on people will ask you
Are you a pawn?
A knight?
A rook?
♠♠♠
What are you?
Where is your place?
What side do you choose?
♠♠♠
For we are all
Pieces in a game of Chess
