Pawns In The World Of Kings

Writer: Armaan YusufArmaan Yusuf

Yes, I know I am late

But this how much it takes

To process your thoughts

And gather 'em up everyday

But times have changed

Peace has been sold

Violence is bought

And only war is told

Domestically we just try to grab each other

By our necks, to prove who his better

Every good individual is considered soft as a feather

No offence, but this is a mere letter

To the authorities, to treat us better

We are minor so are we exploited

Government's too corrupt and we are boycotted

It is the freedom and equality of which we are devoid

Prayers to Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd

And many other innocents

Who are killed like a mannequin

Cause time's indefinite

And Holocaust's imminent

And we are the worst sufferer cause we are just leverage

Of these politicians who are just trying to play us

Like a puppet in a play called layers

Of discrimination to hatred to even execution

Why? We are different and more prudent

And definitely more selfless but they are impudent

As much as they hate us, they need us, that's true and

As much they spread their pogroms, they know

The returning is to one and there's no no

Especially for the double people who like to show-show

It is the time that we make them realize

That we ain't pawns in this world of kings

And we shall uprise

To all those blind people who just like to devise

There faiths to slayers and that's no surprise

Religion's ain't no issue but is just made to gain

Votes or sympathies but still no shame

And we don't realize this is nothing but a game

Of police and the thief and the innocent men

There is not a end

This is the reality here

There are no regrets

That is the brutality here

Too many calibers and

That's the fatality here

It is they who turn with two face mind games

We are the players of this Jumanji thing

Let us not forget the sacrifice

Let us not forget who should we idolize

Let us not forget that our position is that of mice

Except that we stand up and heed to the cries.
