We are all Kings,
we know the divine spark within us prime
yet we remain ceremonial
contently move a step at a time.
We are all Queens,
yes we can rule but with the compassion.
We are all Knights,
we can engage head and heart in an action.
We are all Rooks,
despite immense strength walk straight run.
We are all bishops,
we can cross the diagonals
enjoin to join the two opposite poles.
We are all pawns,
we make efforts and strive
to move across our own board of life.
We don't care how we look outside
Black or White
We believe everyone possesses inside
both darkness and light.
Let us all sixty-four join hands
filling all the squares, we stand
so no fouls can be played
in the name of conflict and conquest.
Let it remain game of creative, intellect
to stop killings, reduce 'Rest in Peace'
foster finding moments of peace in rest.
.A great poem indeed for a great cause! From king, queen, bishop, soldier or rooks or commoners, let us join honds and fill all the squares so that there is no foul play.We are all pawns striving to move across our boards of life.We are all Bishops, we can cross the diagonals, enjoin to join to opposite poles.We don, t care what we look outside, black or white.Thanks Shreej k.c. for the great write..
Lovely poem Shreejana. Yes foster finding moments of peace in rest should always be the goal. Thank you for such inspiring tribute.
Beautiful poem! Thanks for your tribute. I like your imagery and poetic expression.

I've created that 'Spirit'..? thank you, dear Shreej, but.. no.. I gave just the first note.. the Choir's Spirit did the work.. :)
Then I can't help figuring you as a Choir Conductor waving his baton! Here, we are ready to play the best symphony ☺
