Regicide

by Daniel Solomon   Aug 2, 2005


Standing alone.
They already killed the Queen.
The Pawns in this game are ready to go.
Ready to defy the King.
Soldiers trained to fight.
The battle continues to grow.
The Rook made a mistake by moving right.
Defeated now, it’s the Knights turn to go.
No way of moving.
Everybody is scared.
In this life I’m holding.
Everything that I fear.
My feet are tired and my face numb.
Inside the eyes of a traitor.
I think I see someone.
Maybe, I will lose.
But is winning my fate?
Now it’s my turn to move.
I grow cold from being inside this stalemate.
The Pawns move in. They are ready to die.
The enemy was not prepared.
My circus of worthless Pawns organize a kamikaze suicide.
My enemies die unaware.
Pawns and Knights move in on the forgotten king.
Standing alone. No stalemate.
He moved right. Wrong move for a fallen King.
He should’ve moved left. Checkmate.
