Checkmate
High and mighty, you sit on your throne.
Looking down on us all.
Have you completely forgotten?
The highest have the furthest to fall.
You're hubris is a mask.
You're royalty just an act.
On the inside you're an equal.
That's the hidden fact.
There you stand so tall.
You think you're oh so strong
But you only have more power
Than a measly pawn.
You are upset
By the littlest tremor.
I'll defeat you.
I'll be the winner.
I'll cut you off.
Put you in your place.
You think its your victory?
That's certainly not the case.
You're surrounded.
There's nowhere to run.
Time for the final blow.
You're finished.
You're through.
You officially lose.
Checkmate.
