“Make a beginning and all will come right.” —’Abdu’l-Baha


You watch in satisfaction
As the King takes the pawn
Oh, you've lost your pieces
But still the game goes on
There's a look of insanity
Ridden across your face
You enjoy watching pain
And taking it all away
The greediness is overruling
You want it for yourself
You'll do whatever needs to be done
To claim all of the wealth
Yes, you rule the world
You look down upon us all
But how we would love to watch you leave
How we would love to see you fall
You engaged us into a deadly game
Claiming it was the only way
You promised us beautiful change
And then turned away
Little did you know,
This game is already lost
And as the King crushes your precious army,
Only then do you pay the cost.
