act accordingly
by Charlie Morganman-made city stars shine a dull sadness
across the dark night and the dieing young;
i hitch a ride on a westbound freighter.
on the ocean, the stars are God-made;
glitter with all knowledge around us;
as the hand of Orion drops the Big Dipper.
i will wait for the universe's arraignment.
plan my trial's strategy when i can see clearly.
until then i will act accordingly and smile.

| Posted by George Hoerner on 02/02/11 at 01:11 PM I do believe that everyone acts according to their own belief even when they don't want to. It is sad that many don't see the world in the beauty that you do. Good write Charlie. |
