Appetite Of A Soul
Cradled in innocent fairy tales
Misery makes impressions on her audience
Ever since ancient times it crowds the stages
Every dream broken like the hopes of yesterday
Victory seems sweet, when surrounded by defeat
No white flags when your enemy is within
Failure’s voice seems so paternal
Until you realize passion’s gift is eternal
Growing sick of this realm , so we build our own
No kings to serve only the appetite of a soul
The snakes of corruption grow in number
As the priests of honesty cower away silently
With broken dreams castle walls are built
Passion is ordained king and justly rules
Making darkness a slave and joy is his prince

Depite the chage from first person
I might might have to kill you for your lines. Kings and queen are corrupt despots and liars. But they do make great symbols.

You really need to work on rhyme.
I strongly recommend you join Wesleys Rhyme Crimes workshop.

Very cryptic. One would have to know what your thoughts were when you wrote this piece.
