Life is like a chess match

Move the pieces

Slot them in place,

Life’s like a chess match

Do you play it safe,

Or go for glory

All guns are blazing,

As if we are amazing

Or are we consistently failing,

And does it matter

As long as we are trying,

From when we’re born

Until we are dying,

There’s so much life

For us to lead,

Don’t sit and watch

From a distant seat,

Get involved

And live life to the full

Don’t be guilty

Of doing nothing at all,

That will not leave a story

Behind to be told,

From whence we were young

To now as we grow old.

  1. Everything’s changing so rapidly… People are forgotten, actions are forgotten – both good and bad… and then again and again, history repeating as if it never happened before.
    A game of chess inside a bigger game that keeps reloading the same level with maybe slightly changed textures. Like sand castles on the beach…
