MOAR WARRRR!!!!

At least, that seems the point of the poem.  That, and oppression of the underclass for the amusement of the rich and powerful.

First, thank you to batgirl for the picture and the poem.

"As a collector's item, it would indeed be invaluable. Inquiries are respectfully solicited."

Does anyone else see a contradiction here? lol

Did chess at one point used to be played on checkers' boards?  The poem mentions a lot of red and black, and that's usually a checkers board.
