You admire chess
In an echo booming society
That’s out of the ordinary
Extraordinary that you can
Grace the pieces carefully
Striking your opponent till
He/she is stuck…
You admire the pons
They carry on as toy soldiers
Meaning unworthy but
Still is meaningful
It takes hours you see
Learning the positions
And moves and
What or whatnot to do
You love the thrill
The tingly sensation
Removed from your spine
And resumes to the tips
Of your finger nails
You’re finger tips that brushes your onyx marble
Chess set or even the glass
To the queens crown
Or the castle…
2 moves forward for the pawn
8 tops for the castle
Diagonal for the bishop
Awkward movement from
The horse’s knight
The queen moves everywhere
She wants to go
Combining the castle and bishops moves
Because she’s the mother of the air we breathe on
But….
We keep moving 1 to the left
1 up
1 down
And 1 to the right
Us queens we restrict ourselves like kings protected
Also harming ourselves w/
This protection called ignorance
Admiring this blissfulness
That’s only harming our future
Us queens
Forget our self-worthiness
Looking for this esteem
From the king when it says self esteem
You pick up your face
Chew up the pride
And throw on the dignity
Us queens
We claim men don’t know
How to treat a lady when
We don’t know how to
Ourselves
Pick up your face!
Study the art of chess and
Play that role
Where the queen is the
Important peace as in peace
W/ out us to protect where
Would the king be?
Pick up your face!
Us queens
Remember there is
Self in self-worthy
Self in self-esteem
Self in your insecurities
Look in the mirror
And stare in your
Eyes
Us queens
Need to get out of check and fuck..shit..up
Like it’s supposed to be
Cause what’s a king w/o
Us…Queens
