a man and his will

What is a man who has his will stripped away?

Manipulated by the wiles of the essence form,

Rushed with flesh and breast to be denied

An onslaught of fleshly desire

overwhelming the senses

Consequence of the life sentence

Shame

Anger begins to boil with trouble brewing stew

Regret garnishing the platter of one's just dessert

Now the man is punished

inside and out

For his will being stripped

But alas I ask again.

What is a man who has his will stripped away?
