Kings command and Knights clash  
Power eventually fades and weakens
People who are politically skillful play the game
Understand, expect nothing. Appreciate everything.

People who are politically skillful
Understand, power doesn't corrupt it reveals
Understand,power  is the great conductor of the universe
Understand, expect nothing. Appreciate everything.

Once someone has it the curtains are raised
Rulers see through spies
allies, pawns or even weak masters serve as fronts
Understand, the people you associate with are critical
Understand, Watch those around you

People who are politically skillful
Study the seasons and appear intelligent
However, no amount of thinking in advance can prepare you
Understand, expect nothing. Appreciate everything
