White boxes and black boxes
pieces with roles to maintain.
We move in a straight line there is a program to respect
only for the horse is this rule strict and he wants to feel free.
There is a pre-established field to play on
and you cannot exceed that limit.
There are sixty-four boxes to exploit
like DNA codons in triplets to experiment with.
The purpose is to defeat your opponent
and to arrive at checkmate and hit the target.
The whites start playing,
the blacks in the shadows are watching.
Pawns protect the nobility,
the structures and the values of one’s individuality.
The soul speaks to us continuously,
trying to put our mind in check.
Or you’re inside the chess board
and fight for a victory that seems true to you,
or you can observe the parts of you that want to play chess
pushing the mind to abdicate
and hand over the scepter to the soul.
The game of chess represents truely
the life that everyone plays in this reality.
The adversary is not outside, but inside
and it is difficult to locate
for those who are too focused on playing.
Either you play for yourself, or you play for the king,
this rule cannot be changed
but we can certainly learn how to play.
