Why  this desertion ?  ( After Guardian’s  chess player)

Why this abominable  desertion? Why this lonely despair?

why this migratory birds move along to their native soil,

 some in search of a better place , prospects of feeding their

starved stomachs, why children and toddlers still sleep,

unaware of  chaos going on around them, why courier services

and postman  on a holiday pack much against their will;

school  and colleges on a move of negation and exam postponed;

but children enjoy their own time with the restricted move

of indoor game, for moms and rules have a watchful eye;

sky moving in its own direction, moon behind clouds playing

hide  and seek, grass  shoot out at the mercy of soil, why this

restrictions, know not, even  at the game of chess players

have to think where and whom to check , always a spectator

watching all unseen and un noticed.
