Chess

Life is like a game of chess,
With its actions and counteractions,
Ups and downs, gains and losses.
Thought provoking I must confess.

Life is like a game of chess,
With those who rule, those who follow,
Some who profit, some who lose.
Yes, life is like a game of chess.

Life is like a game of chess,
With all the elements of war,
Those who cheat, those who score,
And those who come away with less.

Life is like a game of chess,
With victories and losses.
Those who conquer or are conquered,
Yes, life is like a game of chess.
