Before your life ends up in a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 
Learn to pin, Devoid of sins!
Skewer your thoughts,
Hope against odds.
Maneuver your troops and forces
Plant outposts and seal victories
Remember-
Numbered are your moments,
To post your deserving achievements!
Plan, Work Sail and Prevail
This is the way you must trail.
Chess is timing, so Is Life!
Move with a purpose, Have High aims!
Face the gale when
Defence is the demand
Hold on! Take charge and command.
Do the best and Leave the Rest
To God!
And he will save your position from the Critical _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ !
