The first of my ENGLISH Works, circa 1992:- Choice
The question burns my chest - in screaming from within me... What is LIFE!?! What Now? Now, oh this devastating, obliterating now . Now that will never be again, like me. Or am I a thought, a beautiful thought? An existance just because I CHOOSE to believe so? Oh choice, what a wonderful life. Well then, I shall choose to live! I shall choose to love, and be loved! Instead of dying before my time I will live past it. I shall be - Immortal!! Because I Choose to be. Life, is a desire Now, a moment (awaiting your use) Choice - It's a wonderful life! - Abbas
