Not knowing where
this will lead by this folly,
what damage there is caused in the universe,
playing with fire, burning chess pieces,
Brinksmanship inherently dangerous,
moves not considered, forgotten,
pawns left naked, exposed,
a Pandora’s Box opened,
demons rising,
Evil released,
from a maelstrom,
a black hole taking lives,
growing stronger, larger,
conquest, terror, an empire,
if we all fail to recognize, to act,
if they do not meet this moment,
Pandora’s Box thoughtlessly opened,
chess men moved on the table, pawns,
left for the angry wolves of the shadows,
when Terror, Genocide was given free reign…
