If victory had a literal taste, it would taste like cake,

A sweet consumption in which many adore

and yet most despise every inch.

If victory had a literal taste, it would taste like cake,

It could be a simple paste, nothing more, nothing less

However most wish it to be above all, outstanding beside all other pastries.

If victory had a literal taste, it would taste like cake,

Ones goal was never the outcome, but rather it living up to its taste

Although others saw these as a need for perfection, demanding all knew of their capabilities.
