Life's All About Choices

This sonnet was written after reading a news article on the internet about the Swedish Wrestler Ara Abrahamian's misconduct at the awards presentation after failing to win the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He was awarded the bronze medal for his performance. He took the bronze from around his neck during the medal ceremony, stepped from the podium and dropped it in the middle of the wrestling mat and then walked off. Fate is chance, destiny is choice. Swedish Wrestler Ara Abrahamian chose The latter. He should have been admonished For his bitter behavior that arose Shortly after medals presentations. Character lacked more than his wrestling holds claiming it was politicization. The arrogance of him! "I wanted gold" saying, "I don't care about this medal." His disgrace was his choice, we all heard that of course. More importantly, this numbskull audaciously dropped his bronze on the mat sealing both his fate and his destiny: infamy, obscurity guaranteed. * August 16, 2008, 12:09 PM the International Olympic Committee finally reprimanded Abrahamian.They stripped him of his medal.
