It was like they played by a different rulebook
The same board but different games
We were playing checkers
In a world of chess
Where we were from
Everyone mattered
Every piece was the same
Equally important
Equally capable
But they turned this land into a battlefield
Where the king hid in his fortress
Behind a moat of humans
Same board
Different moves
Classified pieces
Licenced with allowances
Monsters made of power
