These lives we lead

THESE LIVES WE LEAD
Deep amidst the chaos’s
That are these lives we lead
Tangled up with greed and fear
And insecurity
Stand alone the lifelines
To which we all cling
Stretched so tight
And ghostly thin
As though to play the highest C
The wonderment or how and why
The answers if we dare
Reside in common sense
And decency and fair.
The roles we play
As individuals
Will ever hinge upon
How we must admit ourselves
A King or Rook or Pawn.
