Play Human Chess Poem by Govind Ramakrishnan

Play Human Chess

Rating: 3.9


This election campaign
Just became
A long and winding
Road

As angry
Super-Pac donors,
Desperate to sway
Another presidential outcome,
Play human chess.

Moving candidates
Like pawns
To the middle,
Blurring lines of distinction
Across
Ideological camps

This time
Folks,
Watch out
For the pitch-forks!
