Hi John
I originally had "Rich Pickings was their plan to succeed.
Do you think that works better?
Nope. Rich pickings was the end result they wanted not their plan to get them.
I think you are trying too hard to get a rhyme
try something like this
He was my Golden Fleece golden fleece
Wolves took him down, Piece by piece
Spread their lies in the name of greed
Tried to drag him down.
They ruined his name and criminalized
Broke his heart ….caused his demise
Now thats a ********* shame
Much depends on the rythym you hear in your head or the melody if you have one.
You do not need to have perfect rhymes . In fact imperfect rhymes used correctlymake lyrics memorable because its not predictable.
Consider your verses and imperfect rhymes like mashed potatoes.
Perfect with a pinch of salt and pepper.. but not too much
