Will I come when they call? <br />Our flags waving and pride swelling. <br />Chessmen set upon the board. <br /> <br />Will I come when they call <br />my son, given the orders to stand <br />as pawn in the front row. <br /> <br />Will I come when they call <br />with his uniform and our flag, <br />informing me of the King's Gambit. <br /> <br />Will I come when they call <br />to admit how I toppled the King <br />...resigning the game. <br /> <br />I will come when they call <br />for the dead man walking, <br />sacrifice for a new end game.<br /><br />John Kipling Lewis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/will-i-come-when-they-call/
