Mother Natures Game Of Chess

A Poem by Leahianne Conway

 

Standing in the dead of the moonlight

I can feel my heart beating getting quicker

The noises are getting closer

Is this the very end for all to know

Or is it just the beginning of the worlds own games

 

We’re stuck on repeat

History is something that we read about

Hoping that it won’t return to haunt us

But we have soldiers living on the streets in fear

 

We’re playing a game of chess with mother nature

And she’s winning

We’ve lost out knight and bishop

Soon our pawns will be all gone

We’re stuck on repeat and we’re all going down

 

I’ve been walking down the same damn street

For what seems like hours now

It’s amazing to notice all the things I see

Haven’t you taken the time to just breathe

Don’t see what we’ve done to this place we’ve called home

She’s dying and her fighting chance is to wipe us out

 

We’re stuck on repeat

Her life cycle is starting all over again

She’s wiping out the problem that harmed her

She’s curing the diease that we’ve caused

Her only fighting chance is if we’ve all left her

 

We’re playing a game of chess with mother nature

And she’s winning

We’ve lost out knight and bishop

Soon our pawns will be all gone

We’re stuck on repeat and we’re all going down

 

This is her very own game of chess now

We’re playing by her rules 

Whatever wrong decision that we make now on

Will cost us a piece in the game 

Soon we’ll be stuck at checkmate

And on a shuttle out of here

 

We’re stuck on repeat

Allowing history to continue on a cycle

Dumping in the waters is what happened before

That caused so many health problems

But what do people care now a days

They’ll do whatever they can to cover their tracks

 

We’re playing a game of chess with mother nature

And she’s winning

We’ve lost out knight and bishop

Soon our pawns will be all gone

We’re stuck on repeat and we’re all going down

 

This is her very own game of chess now

Play by her rules or be taken out without a question

She is done giving her life away for our mistakes

She’s lost faith in us and this is her master reset

 

We’re stuck on repeat

We’re playing a game of chess with mother nature

This is her very own game of chess now

Whatever she says goes

Or pay with our lives like she’s been doing for centuries now
