“I look at books as a form of activism because a lot of times they’ll show us a side of the world that we may have not known about.” -Angie Thomas


 A queen, a king

A battle ring 

Two sides, two lives 

You try, to stay alive

Pieces die

We wonder why

It portrays our lives

One side takes victory, the other left for history 

Going down, help by their side

Or left alone, without their pride

A queen, a king

A battle ring

Two sides, two lives

Who will win, who taught their kin

To play it right, keep your knight

 You rise above all, watching kingdoms fall

 We wonder why it portrays our lives

Pieces die, no one there by their side

Left to be conquered

They lost, their dead

Not a tear shed, for as I said

The pieces died, no one by

But all you see 

 A queen, a king 

A battle ring
