One Man Vs. The World

One Man Vs. The World

A Story by David Brannan (Shaggs)

        A lonely man walks down the desolate dirt path on yet another journey through this thing called "life". He carries his heart of gold on the sleeve of his sweat stained polo shirt and  the weight of the world on his weather beaten shoulders.  He can feel the pain of others as though it was inflicted on him. Who is this guy? no one really knows because he hides amongst the general world population secretly watching, waiting, and pondering the next good deed.         

        He walks and talks like everyone else when hes around everyone else, but get him alone and you will find the true inner workings of him. He has the mind of the most brilliant and brightest the world has to offer. He has  the  biggest most truth filled and love filled heart of gold anyone or anything has to offer. He walks proud, with pride, and tall like he's truely geniune. He has the soul that makes him fear no person, no thing, nothing, just like he's wearing some kind of shield, but even the best shield and best laid plans surcome to the reality  and nature of the "beast".

        This "beast" is massive on the biggest of scales. It doesnt discriminate or judge .  Its power is uncontrollable and unmatched by anything man can dream of.  What is this "beast" you may ask?  This "beast" is the World.  The world is full of some many different things and situations, some bad some good. So where does this one man fit into the equation?

        One Man is trying to change the world. Wherever he may be or wherever his travels may take him he tries to leave the same impression the first time everytime.  He helps the less fortunante even though he doesnt have much. He  brings joy and happiness to those in dire need and situations. He helps how ever he possibly can. He knows no boundaries, extreme prejudices or stereotypes. He only knows how to help and how to love.  He gives advice passionately to those who care to listen and he will help the confused understand life is all about chances so grab one and give it a shot.  

        One Man gives  kindness and sweetness to all that want and deserve it. His task is hard some say even impossible, but in his mind one man is all it takes to change the world. Even with all the good , triumps , and rewards  there still is the reality of the dark, bad, and unimaginable things.  One Man has been through thick and thin,  the darkest of days and the deepest of nights. Everytime he has fallen he just gets up and dusts off his favorite stonewashed  sun bleached blue jeans, smiling and looking towards the heavens with a gleam in his eye. He keeps on going through the cycle of life and his quest of taming the "beast".

This is a very nice dreamy and wonderful write..
A lonely man walks through the long journey of life,carrying a heart of gold..a brilliant mind,walks tall and proud
So strong like wearing some kind of shield and trying to battle with the beast ,which is the ugly world that
we see it now,with all the horrors and atrocities..his power is uncontrollable and unmatched,because he carries a real faith and strong beliefs
that he could make a change,like bring a smile and joy here and there,he gives advice ,listens,and help the confused to understand life
an almost impossible mission ,he will fall at times ,then he gets up dust himself and moves again ,never a quitter..
A dreamer ,and its not possible to make change for this man could be one or two and some few who will walk dreamily through this earth
and try their best to bring a change..how I liked this wonderful write..full of hope..full of light..
