Checkmate

The value of life is not silver nor gold, the value of life has much more to behold
No deuce or royal flush can beat it, poker chips piled high cannot succeed it
Dice you may throw, roll but never make the play, instead, quickly roll away
Never gamble away the chance you might advance, the price you may pay could make you shudder
Send you down the river and put you in a hollow cell, into an empty gutter
Your ball may roll, knock down all the pins, habits that pin you down, send you down an alley of darkness
Life's value has no end, no monies compare, the wheels may turn but few chances on spinning,
Beware, Â you may not be winning
If you dare play the game, and swing just right you may not strike out, or when you draw, it might be the last gun fight
Think twice before you lay down your cards, and shuffle them good before you pick your last hand
Don't think your king or queen of spades will set you free, remember they are not the ones guarding that heavenly gate
Take life more seriously, and who knows it may not be too late
It's not just a game, but if you make the right moves you  may not lose
You might be surprised and just get lucky and go out, "Checkmate"
