I . They

I don’t know how to play chess
I don’t know who should make the first move and who should not
I don’t know who should protect whom and who should not be protected
I don’t know who should kill whom and who should not be killed
I don’t know who to defend and how to defend
I don’t know who are my accompanies and who are my enemies

What I know is
I can see two colors - black and white
There’re horses, knights, soldiers, castles, queens, kings..
The king is the big boss
The queen is the big boss’s wife or partner
The soldiers are standing in front their bosses
They have their own strategies to beat their enemies

But
They cant move themselves
They need people to move them
Their moves are not what they wish to
They depend wholly on humans
Once win the game, they celebrate the victory with humans
Once lose the game, they are forgotten and abandoned

They feel tired
They feel themselves useless kind
They bring their injuries and frustration back to their world
They keep their tears and pain
They shut down everything
And say bye to all the worlds.
