The Pawn Story

 


The Hero Who Walks Away | From Frodo to Gilgamesh

1.

Let's Play a game, pick a piece;

Peace or War, lend or Cashew –

Most pick the Queen, most pleased;

astute, it can move where it ceased.

Captured by many, when you Hebrew

St. Paul, why would the Emperor nude;

want to shrink from their desires tease.



2.

The Next play coy and pick the Rook;

like Jaime Lannister, prowess to serve!

Not Ambitious enough, to be the crook;

despising the dwarf and the Lion shook.

Fucking incestuous to escape from fervour;

They don't care who's King, as long parkour

shows them the Best White Knight cooked!



3.

Those devout, pick the Bishop or Knight;

either diagonally or Jesters folly zealoth.

To cloak and dagger on their mission sight.

When you think your party is always Right –

just learn the code, and honour the plot.

What you have more, is not what you got;

because you never know, who's board you Enlight!



4.

Those, who know, pick the Pawn, not Even King;

because it can become everything – Win or Loss.

Either you're the wall in front of the Sovereign;

or passed your allies and promote something.

Like the Holy Fool, living at the coin toss;

then others see honour, you're ready to Cross.

Overcome Yourself, and learn to do Nothing.



5.

What was your pick, what did you choose;

did you win something, or did you get startled?

Be careful, when you play with a moose;

Whiteraven can teach, but what will you goose!

Know Yourself, before you know others misled;

then you don't fret a thousand corpses ahead!

Just walk along the River, as they cruise...
