Petra, I wrote one to fit your most recent guess in white:


RIDDLE

It's just not fair
my name alone
has come to mean
a sort of drone
who has no thought
to call his own

but does exactly
what he's told.
The other members
of my fold
are equally
oppressed, controlled,

pushed along
from square to square
with wooden brains
that do not care
but blindly move
from here to there

as those who move us
plot to win
or line us up
to rebegin
a game we are not
truly in.
