A poem about the choices made in living.
Do you truly want to live forever
In this foolish world?
When it is impossible to escape…
To escape the darkness of eternity.

Do you truly want to believe
In this crazy world?
Where beliefs…
Beliefs are but an illusion.

Do you truly want to arise in the morning
In this senseless world?
Where mornings…
Mornings are but a fantasy. An illusion.

Do you truly want to take a breath
In this sorrowful world?
Where breaths…
Breaths are but the distinct silhouette of a dream.

Do you truly want to have a child
In this crazy world?
Where a child…
A child is a victim of its own race.

But would you truly wish to flee
From this wonderful world?
Where love…
Love is the greatest gift of all.
