Once Notorious
A daemon from the conquered host
That Lucifer once led
A shadow now, a stonkered ghost
Now fills not one with dread
The fiend was once notorious
And like his ilk, sore vain
He craves to be victorious
So Lucifer will reign
Desirous of his master’s laud
Eternally denied
By twisted love all hope defraud
Destroyed by selfish pride
That Lucifer once led
A shadow now, a stonkered ghost
Now fills not one with dread
The fiend was once notorious
And like his ilk, sore vain
He craves to be victorious
So Lucifer will reign
Desirous of his master’s laud
Eternally denied
By twisted love all hope defraud
Destroyed by selfish pride

What a dark and captivating poem!
The use of Lucifer as a symbol of rebellion and fallen ambition adds depth and complexity to the poem.
The language is rich and evocative, with phrases like "stonkered ghost", "sore vain", and "twisted love all hope defraud" creating a sense of foreboding and despair.
