The Chessboard we named Life

And they told us we would grow up

we'd burn like egyptian candles

we'd live in the land of milk and honey

we'd sit on a gilded throne

we'd laugh with our friends

we'd have no enemies 

and that the world would be at peace

for late at night no men would lurk and kill

and a dove would fly by each resplendent morning

And they did not reveal that life is a chess board 

where only the kings are important

and the little ones are treated different

and the queen can do what they want.

and they didn't explain that we'd live in a dwelling so grotesque

that many would lose their lives to travel to the real

land of milk and honey to 

witness the doves fly.
