Life's Chess*

Your opponent time
Mightier than thou
All efforts in vain
Bound to decline
Age sticks like glue
Leaves us no clue
Limping cavalry
Thirst-less dromedary
Putting tuskers in race
As a last resort
Waiting for either
To finally resign

* The above verse has been composed after reading the Poem Moves by Prof. Dr. Anil K. Prasad
