PAWNS to PAWN SHOPS

As I was passing a Pawn shop, I was hit with a thought...Pawn shops are for Pawns.

By definition to pawn is "to deposit as security" (dicionary.com)
Usually people brings things to pawn shops to trade for less than their monetary value.  I hate hearing stories of people who rely on such services for money issues.  Funny how the 5th definition says "hostage." MESSAGE!

In chess the pawn is the lowest rank, one of many (8) pieces that are used to gain advantage...which also coincides with definition that refers to manipulation of people in real life.

As I listen to "SAME THING" by Tragic Hero I have to marvel at our inclination NOT to change.  We barely get by and struggle to make a meager living.  Sure we are far worse in poverty here than some countries, but see how people stress regardless. Why do we spend enough energy to kill ourselves but won't put that engergy to change ourselves, if we did, we'd see our world change for the better.  Realize that if we don't ever change we will be the pawn of someone else, hostages that pawn off our lives for nothing.  FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, BE KINGS AND QUEENS!

THIS IS FOR MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO DREAM OF HAVING THEIR OWN BUSINESS...all pawns disregard.
