Aftertaste of Power

AFTERTASTE OF POWER

Power tastes like food 
Intoxicates like spirit 
Transient on the tongue 
To good and bad incumbents 
It's just awhile on the throne .
Aftertaste may be sweet 
If not, it'll definitely be bitter 
To many past kings
 It's bittersweet 
It all depends 
Now I ring the bell 
That to every eater 
That's those in power 
Aftertaste is sure 
The end is real
As eggs is eggs 
Ex will be word.
