The Chessboard we named LifeA Poem by SalvatoreDelReyAnd 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.
