Perfect apprentice

Diplomacy  
is  
impoverished  
Where the receptive reside
Beyond the lies  
we shiver in time
In hopes they cannot thrive
Vote for dismissal  
When asked how to play
Who knew that death
Would cancel your breath
Lying here today
Upon the strains  
of  
fidelity  
Where inimitable blood runs cold
Condemned to the middle den
Whilst your soul is being sold
In shadows,  
they speak of mastery
All who follow  
shall
obey
Seeking a perfect apprentice  
To imitate my way
Diving into desolation
I am weakened  
by  
the
king
Shelter me in this perishable form
To my soul,
I shall not bring
