Stale Mate

The Bishop,
pinned by The Queen..
moves in..
any direction.
unforseen..
Red or Black ?
The Rooks maintain
a background presence,
( it's an old Persian word)
once disturbed could be
unpleasant...
Red or Black 
Knights canter..
there's Hell to pay..
there's more on the way,
Whilst pawns move slothly
forward, forever marching
forever on orders..
no more moves..
entrapped..
Red or Black ?
Red or Black ?
it's only a game
