Move 1
We come into life
As mere players
Of this long, tiresome game
Chess

Move 2
We strategize our war path
As kings and queens
The controllers of the board
Chess

Move 3
We struggle to gain power
As only pawns
Until we reach the other side
Chess

Move 4
We sacrifice our own
As executioners
For the ultimate goal
Chess

Move 5
We always search
To find opportunity
As rooks and obstinate bishops
Chess

Move 6
We came out of the battlefield
With stronger players
Check mate
Chess
