The Pawn

 

On the ordered maze 

of blacks and whites

the poor pawn

struggled through

the squares of life

with each step learning

how dispensable she was.

She realized painfully how

her death before anyone else's

would be the choice of those

who were mightier than her.

When die one by one

her fellow sisters she saw

the poor pawn cried

for soon, it would be her turn.

But she was special

she did not know.

For in her destiny it was

to reach the end

and be crowned the Queen.
