Chastised by him
The adversary
Challenging me
To dwell in my past
Castrating me
Condemning me 
Time proving my fragility
That flesh is temporary 
Being human I understand
That this misery cannot last 
I am simply a being
Without distinction
Who tried
While my flesh has been animated
There is proof of life
The truth of the corollary
Is that I have worth
Only by my actions 
My footsteps left a mark
As if in snow
For every tear I've cried 
From everything I've known
Every grieving heart
Every sorrow
What we do
Echoes
Forward unto the next generation
In the form of the world
By what we leave behind
I will sacrifice all I am
To help my child survive
And avoid humanity's hand
Of mankind 
Causing damnation
