I'm a poet, so I figured I'd write this. It is about Go, obviously. lol Just wanted to see what people thought of it.

Problematique Points

A peaceful air radiates false pretenses
Under the darkest skies
The dispute was ever coming
Ever approaching
And here I stand today with black in hand
Staring you down across a grid of intersections
The game begins, surreality begins
The calm air is filled with tension
My hands tremble
Perspiration rolls down my face
But my soul shivers with excitement
The beauty of each stone played
The intricate design created by complex motives
Each move leads closer to my destiny
This war of stones has captured my attention
It's war, it's war, it's war
On such an elegant level of play
Electricity crackles in the air all around me
And my life flashes before my eyes
The upper left corner is dead
The lower right corner is dead
Victory is left to chance as I play each stone
My opponent faces me with unending calm
This elegant battle has been long
And hard fought but the end is in sight
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8,9
The territory adds up
The points become mangled confusion
Each point is problematique
But my life has yet to dry up and thus I battle
Until the very end of the game
It's war, it's war, it's war
On such an elegant level of play
I want to be free of the shackles of those white stones
Starting to surround me on the lower right
My heart falls to shambles but I resist and fight
And victory is mine, that corner is mine
With this glorious comeback I find myself
On the very cusp of a major victory
But then I fail to protect
I get too aggressive and my fortress falls
The points are too problematique
It's war, it's war, it's war
On such an elegant level of play
