Unwanted Reality

Life is a game,
We are all pawns
Of the royalty.
I wish for them to go away.
The rulers of everything,
Bending us to their will,
Telling us what to do,
And where to go-
Though restricting us
To only be like them.
"Protect the King!"
"Save the Queen!"
"You ignorant pawn
Get moving!"
I wish for them to go away.
Always giving us commands,
Like we are nothing.
The Bishops and Knights,
Hidding behind a Castle.
Only to come out
When we have failed.
But how could we not?
When we can not think for ourselves?
Trapped in our unwanted reality,
Of the black and white board.
