Checkmate

It's no victory when the fight ain't fair.

By Meghan K. ☽Published 9 years ago 1 min read

We’ve all got our rooks, our pawns, and knights

To protect our kings and queens

From each other’s lightning strikes

Yet even when you call a truce

And thunder growls but no one moves

There’s that person who won’t hesitate

Checkmate.
