Gluttonous King Nimi

A small city, on the outskirts, left to it's devices
malodorous stench in the air
Effigies of Gluttonous King Nimi burn in the streets
To add to the fetor that hangs there.

At the center, behind fortress walls
A black keep towers above
In the gloom of these putrefied halls
The swollen king sits in the rot he's deserving of.

His throne room is plagued with disgust
Remains of the food he consumes
Cover his festering flesh with the crust
Of fluids and filth releasing rancid fumes.

A dark secret hides in the kitchens
'Neath throne room floor
This gluttonous king has acquired
An appetite for the poor.

The screams of children are heard from within .

Chilled to the bone by the sound of the screams
A knight's guardsman runs through the kitchen doors
In moments his eyes find a sight
That empties the contents of his stomach upon the floor.

"What has become of my once beloved king?
I cannot allow this to continue anymore" - knight's guardsman.

The guard searches the kitchens for a knife
"This king does not deserve to die by the sword
I have to end this horror, it burns in my soul
A sickening end to the oaths that I swore" - knight's guardsman.

With murderous intent, he approaches the throne
He can't help but retch at the sight of his king
In the darkness he creeps and remains unseen
Until a flash of light reflects off of his ring.

"What have you there little man?" - King Nimi
"A blade, to end this grievous madness!"- knight's guardsman
The knife plunges into the king's flesh to no avail
"I'll take the blade along with something you're attached to." - King Nimi.

The guard feels the sickening grip of Nimi on his arms
With razor-sharp teeth the king clamps down on his hands
The flesh is sliced and peeled away in seconds
"Now you will work in my kitchens, and earn a second chance!" - King Nimi.

He takes the offer, with fire in his eyes
"Yes my king, you will feast like never before" - knight's guardsman
A feast a flames, and bubbling flesh
Prepared for him beneath his throne room floor.

Now Gluttonous Nimi, unable to rise
Burns in his thrown, laughing all the while
The guard stands there and stares into his eyes
"I will watch you burn Nimi, even if it takes my life!" - knight's guardsman.
