CHECKMATE

CHECKMATE

Life is a game of Chess
The lowly pawns are its soul
Getting the King is the primary goal

Playing it safe will generally not suffice
In order to win, you might need to sacrifice
If you wish to succeed, and the King to unseat
You must take a wild ride, on the edge of defeat

There is a melding of the Church and State
The King stays safely behind the Castle gates
Bishops flank the Royalty's sides,
Assisting the King, from where he hides

Always at war, moved around on the board
Many combatants will fall, under thrust of the sword
A battle framed in stark terms of Black versus White
Only one side prevails, after jousting of the Knights

Do not be complacent, with the pieces that you took
You might be crushed by the Elephant weight of the Rook

The real battle lies beyond the Castle moat
The key to the game is for a pawn to promote

There many possibilities, to complicate
With planning and strategy, to check and mate

The fiercest warrior in the battle scene
- the most powerful piece on the board- is the Queen

Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was
German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody
that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobaya**** tell it, anybody
could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The
greatest
trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well
I
believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze. - Verbal
Kint

"They seek him here, they seek him there,
"those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
"Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
"That damned elusive Pimpernel."


"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"


The little things are infinitely more im****tant."


"I am an omnivorous reader with a strangely retentive memory for
trifles."
