You can cover your face
With a scarf outside but
The walls have keen eyes
And they have seen it all.
You whisper your secrets
Into the ears of a vague statue
Of an unknown God.
But even the devotion in
Your fickle heart has holes
That can amplify lies.
And for long, you fixate over
The possibility of
Deafness in your lord.
But fate is playing
The game of chess with you.
And it's all tactical-
Lets you beat the queen
And bishops of the black but
That one insignificant pawn
Has been waiting with a plan.
You tie your shoe loose
Thinking it's all right and
When the vigil is gone-
A checkmate from the pawn.
You'll be done in a battle
You never fought.
