Paul Bell

Next Move

His death came as a total shock 

In reality, it made no sense

He was at the bottom of the food chain

Those were the words being spoken

Who would kill him

He was insignificant

Totally insignificant

Three blocks away

A man was playing chess

Studying the board

Thinking four moves ahead

In the next two years

Three more men would die

That insignificant man

Had he been alive today

Would have known exactly who the killer was

The significance would have been stark

The man playing chess

Knew, being insignificant was just one move away from being significant..
