Rajendra Ojha (Nayan)
What is to be expected from the world,
Ruled by the king and queen of chess?
Despite having freedom and authority of power,
They are the puppets of the players, naïve about themselves—
Unknowingly controlled by unseen hands.
Players become weak when either piece is absent in Chess.
To use them strategically as puppets,
They need both black and white pieces equally.
Experience it once by keeping oneself in the place of the king of Chess,
You’ll grasp the power of unseen strategists.
What could be a better reality than the truth that—
Every player aspires to control the puppet King;
Yet, they lack the necessary strategy to conquer it.
In seeking to conquer other territories,
They lose all that their puppets hold.
