Have you been watching

Wendy Rice

Have you been watching?
Did you hear?  
The game of chess has 7 moves or less.

The queen has fallen.
You are no longer a pawn.
The KING has saved.

It is a time for war.
The spirit and the natural merge.
The army is marching.
Steel is clashing.

Gurd up my children.
Put on my armor.  
This is my fight.  
I am moving dark to light.
