It is just a game they say
\nThere is nothing to prove
\nA pawn a rook to win or lose
\nIt matters not\u2026 but its your move<\/p>\n
Life is but a chess game
\nEach move is to wield a sword
\nAnd you may lose or you may win
\nThe Dance of the Chequered Board<\/p>\n
To play or not you have no choice
\nYou must make a move each day
\nThere is no timelimit in this game
\nThe Chess Game of Life we play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
