the chess board

Giant Chess Board by HL Wang
Giant Chess Board by HL Wang


The game of chess
The concentration and the moves
Clock ticking by as the players look
Wanting to trap wanting to finish the kill

The tricks and the shadows
Playing on the chess boards
As the two antoganists trying to out wit each other
The long battle seems far ahead

Hiding the King
Moving the Queen
The castle shifting
The decision runs
The knight of armour
Standing guard

The foot soldiers march
Knowing not what the hell is about
Challenging each other
As the challengers sip champagne
Wishing each other good health
Let the chess game begins

On the streets
People going on
Thinking where to find money
Finding food to feed the family

On the chess board
The antoganists move their pieces
In castle, in knight, in soldiers
Finding no where peace fail to materialise
As people wait
The final answer seems far far away
