Chess – abstract, strategic game of truth exemplar

Objective – obliterate opposition submitting emperors

Checkmate! Surrounded, no way of escape

Life is complex, moves made determine the fate

Perfection verses grave mistakes some ways they relate

The world is a chessboard, each person a piece on their square

Status set specifically by birth state, race, and social heir

Kings the presidents, prime ministers, CEOs, celebrities

Huge followings, great power and responsibility, well protected piece

But useless without support from loyalists, backers, and underlings

All hail the queen! Her motion unparalleled, second in command

Managers, directors, experts, and regional leaders represent her hand

But she's not safe, can be replaced, removed from her land

Bishops devoted to the king, blind faithfulness to rigid regime

Conservatives upholding tradition, religion, status quo esteemed

Juxtaposed to knights, change agents, for freedom furiously fight

Elevated travelers, these activists philosophize better days & nights

The arms of the strong tower reside in the castle

Armed forces, police power provides protection against hassles

Most people portray pawns in the system, climbing ladders of success

The mantra "if you work hard enough…" makes them obsess

While the powerful play their heart strings, fiddling melodies for their process

The positions and movements through life a part of the rules set

The natural and spiritual order of man often an unfair, cruel debt

Yet, these pieces heavily influenced by major players

Ideas, beliefs, angels, demons, maneuvering around the outer layer

Behind-the-scenes dictating events globally, locally, & individually

Life is a chess game, navigating expertly the key to win

Take the center of action, strengthen pathways, seek within

Hopes, dreams, devise secret schemes to accomplish

Advancement and diminish failure's chances to demolish

Your soul, hide in the castle fortified by morals, whit, integrity

Safeguards against sudden tactics, tricks, and devilry

Predicate positive performance practicing proper planning

Never sever levers, endeavor better measures, expanding

Development upon settlement, dictate the course with initiative

Threaten the opposition's choices, exploit weaknesses, be prohibitive

Might not know the future, but you can see around the corner

Think three steps ahead to have time to heed the warnings

To understand the board, understand the stages of life

The beginning, middle, and endgame; must play the phases right

From conception – family, class, and neighborhood out of your control

Young procession initially dependent on skills parents behold

Gradually you learn through education, gain experiences, reservations

During this phase the selection of your peers determines how you veer

Either pressured for success or destined to derail, it's how you steer

In the middle phase made mistakes and had progress, now in your career

Concepts and recovery may be foggy, but by now purpose should be clear

This era, don't error in a mate for marriage; it'll alter your course

Good spouses sprout splendorous springs, bad ones deserts of death and divorce

The endgame old age, should be spent resting in opulence

If challenges were overcome then comfort is sure, if not grave consequence

You'll be what you believe, discern wolves clothed as sheep

Heaven or Hell, victory or defeat, with the Shepherd free to bleat, the wolf left to bleed
