(written by an anonymous poet)
composition #1
Strange days have come
strange days have gone
am i the one
to take the pawn?
am i the queen
to rule the board?
or the just knight
with piece to hoard?
i shall not be
a king that sleeps
never to bleed
until the end
why not a rook?
No! i must defend!
the bishop, wise
careful each step
strengthens the ties.
