Wobbly like a squirrel
Yet makes a steady move
And when it’s show time
Impersonates a queen
Though quivering with suspicion
Still makes way into the den
And when the radar is on
The moves get traded for a King
An epitome of a sheer humane world
resembling quite a fair ride home
With every tricks,the man surrenders
While the pawn still revels in chaste
Uncluttered with the frivolities
Triumphant in it’s unfussy mien
And those incharge have to surrender
Rendering themselves as mere leaders
Carrying a pretentious guise
Fall into a honeytrap of checks and mates
Emulating as a Rook or Bishop
Are left stranded while the Queen loses to a mere pawn.
In this delusional game of black and white
Latent yet profound lesson engraved
Whether to choose to be the centre of the storm and get romped
Or burn the masquerade down
And lead an unfettered ride
While it’s a game of squares and missing pieces
Famished souls have a cue hidden
Under the bedrock of it’s identity
To be a trooper and not a captor
Yet make up for an unfazed battle fought with pride
And reflect upon that grounded semblance
Curbing disasters in this decoy world.

Taken aback by an incident,I wondered why not make an untarnished,decent layout for my life. With no illusions of being a fortunate Bishop or a Rook, I could be contented with the semblance of a pawn. When it comes to hustling for lust,it’s usually an apparent stride forward with no real gut and courage.
I’d rather be a mere grind in the battle while I perish fighting than a lavish rook waiting for my grave to be offered!
Thank you.

Samyak! An intense poem and reflection on identity, forever an influx about our real place in the world or the mask worn, either by choice or compulsion, force us to think.
