Careful
I am Black and White in a world of Grey
Everything is fixed, nothing is certain,
Separated only by a curtain,
By a shadow, ready to be whisked away
I am a chess master working with clay,
Every square designed but no color assigned
Except to the pieces aligned
Waiting for a chance to play
And such is every day
If you know the rules of action
You can find a way
To play without direction
I am like a wolf, careful to delay
Letting time foment
Waiting for the right moment
To kill and feast upon my prey.
It is necessary to operate this way
Watching and waiting
Every second debating
If my action will be okay.
Like Justice lives I weigh
I observe
So I can say
If my secrets they deserve
I am a small ship in a calm bay
Not until a red sunset
Lights the safe inlet
Shall I be ready to make way.
And so with resolution I shall stay
Behind my curtain 'til it is certain
That the man behind the other curtain
Is not going to slay
