He who knows who will be the next?

Gradually,
One by one
moves away
from the Chequer Board?
And he who knows who will be the next.
Master! It's too odd the dress of death
At least give him or her a better costume a human looking
So we could dance on the floor merrily.
Yes, we sing and dance on our own grave?

[We would never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the World.]-Hellen Keller
