Society thinks of us to be fools to be uneducated has-beens, but we will keep showing them wrong like we have done throughout the ages.


We are known by many names but the most common ones are pugilists and extremists but society in its immature nature call us rebels but still we sacrifice and bleed more than the common man. It is we that endure the twelve round fights, while society stands behind the ropes awaiting the outcome, they stand at awe while two of the so-called rebels battle it out.


When the two pugilists stand across each other in the ring the only thing that crosses their minds is “Its your time to taste your own blood mate!” when the bell rings “ding” then all traces of civilized manner have disappeared in the ring the only things that remain are willpower, determination and brute strength.


There is no trace of mercy or humanity left when that bell rings “ding” every punch thrown is thrown with the intention to kill!


There can always only be one champion at the end of the fight, when that bell rings “ding ding ding” society will have to choose a side and society mostly sides with the victor.


Months after the fight society will praise the ones so-called rebels, they will speak as if they were always for the cause, but in reality they are so blind to the painstaking truth staring them right in the face. Society can never be trusted for they change allegiances like a baby changes diapers. No, a pugilist can always only count on himself he can only rely on his own willpower, determination and brute strength.


The road of a pugilist is the hardest road there is, for it is only you that can pick yourself up if you have fallen but it is the most rewarding for it shapes character in you, it forges something so rare something that is unobtainable something that can only be found when you have withstood the full impact of a twelve round fight.


Society can say what it wants to about us the thing that will always remain is that society will always need its pugilists to do the dirty work, how long must we still prove ourselves to this broken society?

That question was asked even from the beginning of time but still it remains unanswered.


The truth however is that we are Phenomenal!

Written art form, finally something fresh amongst Gmod poses, nice.

However, If I may, couple remarks:
The word "Society" alone repeats ~10 times, and it's really noticeable in the bite-sized-paragraphs style that you went for. Mixing it up will do wonders for your stories.

  • "change allegiances like a baby changes diapers."
Not to be that guy but I'm picturing a baby literally changing his/her own diaper(Which is unlikely irl).

  • "Society can say what it wants to about us the thing that will always remain is that society will always need its pugilists to do the dirty work, how long must we still prove ourselves to this broken society?"
I get that you're speaking about society always bending to their primitive senses and enjoying beautiful boxing matches, DESPITE hating on the sport overall. Though, the way you put it makes it sound... Sinister, and hard to understand frankly





But besides structural, grammatical critique - as a boxer it's nice to see a callout of the general public and their hypocrisy(Kinda trivial, as everyone knows this, but nice nonetheless). To conclude, although you've got room to improve, don't stop writing and practising as much as you can. Best of luck to ya.
