Ascetic

A Poem by Vincent
"

Written Saturday, July 2, 2011

"
A dilemma between his body and his mind
Self-denial through continuous efforts
Control - his goal, abstinence - his weapon
Entrails can lie but he trusts only his brain
The body can be deceptive, such an old machine
It is a battle he can not win, he can only keep fighting
Cruelly trapped in a body, he is alone with hopes

"It is a battle he can not win, he can only keep fighting
Cruelly trapped in a body, he is alone with hopes"- Lines charged with meaning, not just for the ascetic but also you and me! :)
