Politics – like chessboard pieces
Where tension with each move increases;
The Board across the world extends;
It happens - friends and foes change ends…
Glued to news broadcasts every day
We marvel at bold stakes in play;
Fast moves may focus on new goals
For whom, we wonder, the bell tolls?
The field is wide, new partners join;
Poised to act on flip of coin?
The driving force – no loss of face
The unexpected – commonplace…
That life’s a tightrope – no surprise;
Chess is a tricky enterprise!
Too many pawns – a brace of kings…
We wait to see whose karma wins!
