War Is A Game Of Chess. Poem by Maria Shaw

The queen, the bishops,
rooks, knights and pawns,
all protecting the king on the board
who protects the pawns?

White versus black, a brutal attack,
played out on a black and white checkered floor
a ceremonial checkerboard floor
a gateway to the spiritual plane.

The Freemasons, initiations,
rituals, rites, masonic rule,
worshipers of Lucifer
walk the checkered floor.

Good versus evil, enemies fighting,
to gain control of the board, of the war,
pawns, bishops, knights, rooks and queen,
risking their lives to protect the supreme.
