A Man

Screams of anguish bring forth life, a gentle wave of serenity and joy SMACK and more cries echo a mother holds her child for the first time. A boy grows larger, taller, smarter. Spends his time being free, joyous. Goes to school to learn the game of life, to struggle and fight for his piece of the pie. A Man soon arises from this carefree boy, still a heart untainted with the ways of the world. A Man starts anew, finds happiness. Love. The world belongs to him. Life is his, and his alone. A Man grows older, more cries of anguish, a New Life sprung forth from his and his Love. Glowing with wonder, joy, and happiness. Life is theirs, and theirs alone. A Man grows older still, a New Life is aging rapidly as pure and joyous as A Man once was. A Man toils day to day, to lessen the burden on Love and their New Life. A Man becomes hardened to the ways of the world. Wiser. Older. Guarded. Works day to day so Love and New Life will not have to struggle. Life is theirs, and theirs alone. Love becomes aged, and falls ill. A Man does all that he can to ease the burden, to take care of Love. So that Love will not suffer. A Love dies. A Man questions all he belives, the control he once thought was his becomes clear, that. It never was. Life was never theirs, and theirs alone. A New Life grows up. Jumps into adulthood. Believes what A Man and what Love thought. Life is his, and his alone. A Man is elderly, ill, and invalid. caged in a mortal prison. A New Life is his consolation, his joy. His life, and his alone. A Man's final moments Fear. Pain. Regret. Clarity. Peace. Joy. A Man dies, and at last is freed from his mortal prison cell. A New Life knows anguish, harsh realizations surface. Our lives are not ours, and ours alone.
