Chessmen

The men line up
In rows for battle
Staring across
At the opposition
Anticipating
The next move
Taken aback
Strategy takes a role
Within the
Mastermind's scheme
Recruits fall dead
While royalty
Still stands
One move
Decides fate
Of the war
It is over
A race is
Extinguished
While another
Reigns
A king
Stands tall
With his
Remaining people
While a king
Meets his end
