The Master and the Student By Paul Wilson Pawns in this game of chess Common folks don’t have a chance Played by the master of the game Just a matter of circumstance He watches your every move Ready to pounce if you are weak Never count him out he can change His mind seven days a week The master of disguise never one To compromise his deal making Revolving door always turning Best moves can be earthshaking Keeping up with the latest trends Always playing the leading role Give him an inch he will crush you This his ultimate goal Born with the power common folks lack Taught by his father moves to make He knows all the right pieces to take He thinks he can’t make a mistake The clock is ticking One more move to make He’s running out of time One more deal left to make The master has the edge In this game played with real lives The student has one more move to make Time will tell who survives Who will win this game of pawns? The master of the deal Or the student he couldn’t outsmart Only the future will reveal Copy Righted 8-16-2020 ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (08-16-2020 09:03 PM).] |

Poet Paul, I'm not sure if this politically driven, or not, but it is definitely Clever.  Sky~ Sometimes..Miracles are just good people |

Sky...Thank you for taking time to read and reply I appreciate it. We must all decide and make up our minds what we want. I wouldn't want to make to big of a political statement I might ruffle some feathers. The choice how you read this yours...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

rofl...heaven forbid there be any ruffling of feathers, Paul. Now then, I taught my son how to play chess when he was like 10...by the time he was 16 he was graduating high school he was beating me most of the time. He far outclasses me today. Not that this had anything to do with the poem...at all, but I thank you for stirring up the memory. When you think you can't be beaten, you've already set your self up for defeat. This much I know.

Michael...Loved your reply. I don't know the first thing about chess, but I play a mean game of Texas Hold-em. Those kids today sure pick up things fast after we teach them they kick our ass. Ruffled feathers sometimes make enemies and I don't need any of those. LOL Maybe we need a political section here??? Thanks for the read and laugh...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

WOW! That's a lot of dealing making, playing games and outsmarting. Loved this. I see you tipping your hat at the ending of this.  |
