The king and the queen

And a few bleeding pawns

Fractured souls and bodies

The victors and the defeaters

Standing all alone

Wails deafening the cheers

Oh the game of chess

When played by Rooks*

What a mess.
*rooks-chariot, indicating war
(en passant; a term of chess, also means when we are talking about something else, terrorism,war and wounded life)
