We Healed

We healed after the cyborgs lost
the battle that we never thought
could or would run at a cost of
the lifeless pawns who only fought
when mother goose and mother earth
were mourning for the king and queen
bishops and knights had lost their worth
to advancements we'd only seen
in books, ghost stories,
and the t.v. screen.

Still, they lost to you and me.
