Poetry
A Chess PieceA Chess Piece
I'm just a chess piece,
On a chess board,
Carrying a gun,
Carrying a sword.
I'm just a chess piece,
With no face,
Killing in pride,
Killing in grace.
I'm just a chess piece,
With no mind;
I'm here to fight,
Yes I'm blind.
I'm just a toy,
In my master's hand;
I do as told,
I don't feel bad.
I'm just a pawn,
In the front line;
I'm born to kill,
I can't resign.
I'm just a bishop,
I'm here to preach,
"Kill thy enemies,"
A lesson I teach.
I'm just a castle,
I bring peace,
With my guns,
In deadly sprees.
I'm just a knight,
Proud and brave;
Under my sword,
No one is safe.
I'm just a queen,
Unequivocally sweet;
Spoils of war,
Are my only treat.
And I'm the king,
Of might and fame;
With the bloody glory,
I adorn my name.
I'm just a chess piece,
I have no mind,
I have no heart,
I have no soul.
Living As DeadWe felt fear to the uttermost:
A man feared more than any ghost,
Whose army of loyalists and allies
Worshiped him and believed his lies;
They were ready to fight in his name,
Voices of treason, faces of shame;
They killed and killed till it was known,
News were spread, corpses were shown;
Despair, then, traveled to every head:
No one is brave, all souls are dead;
Misery was brought to every door:
Bodies are bruised, we are all poor;
The night approached as the sun escaped,
Silence prevailed under the endless shade
Until a boy did say a word,
His head was cut off by a sword;
We cried and cried for his life,
Though we were dead, he was alive;
For a death may change what life means:
Life is more than just blood in veins;
Cause a living person who chose to hide
Worth less than a dead one who didn't abide;
We obeyed and prayed for fear to go,
The boy's only crime was that he said "No."

What gave you the desire to do that? :meow:


AND OH GOD LEGASP!
Are you reading the Randy Pausch book? Or does there just so happen to be another co-existing book with the same title that isn't by him? XD
