MORAL COMPASS

by @wichitarick

MORAL COMPASS When does it's presence take the stage, what is the beginning to set the gauge Where does the needle find it's direction,will magnetism or a magnet bring the unseen guidance Finding the way or a guiding light, day after day to make our plight,writing a book page by page More than a map or general guide ,when called upon from within it will enlighten is it irony of the needle pointing north & so many looking up ,is there a gain in it's weight as we age Trusting children showing elders what they may have lost,we're caught looking down for our days to brighten Playing a game of comparisons, but some may find nothing or no one to relate Simply an instrument a device to measure, whether to take the high or low ground it may take the shock of reality to truly frighten Is there haste when we make chaste or is it taken from lessons learned as we debate Trust sounds easy but a rare find given & received by the scrupulous and over time it will heighten Many may never notice which direction their own needle points or how it will all equate So we spin the dial hope it comes back to true north as we go forth ,our best hope we will hold it all in it's circumference.

Notes

Had the title so the thought was present,but also seems to be a popular topic for some,it seems even more prevalent with so many providing their own quick thoughts on a wide range of topics.

But what rule book do we use use to judge? I came by honesty backwards ,not much bad surprises me but am always truly humbled at people with true honesty or even further truly humble,unlike what many may perceive of the world ,I find a lot of people who don't even comprehend how to lie ,cheat or steal . I appreciate your reading and your thoughts are helpful. Rick
