Galileo's Crucifix Poem by Butch Decatoria

Wonder how heavy does it weigh

That Old World reminder

Your Scarlet Letter

Strange for someone like you

As in love with the future as I am

Peering through a looking glass

Upon the rings of Saturn

How it must weigh upon you

When you telescope the night sky

Refracting mirrors, by candle light

Do you worry, or did you then,

About GOD's Privacy

Or did you about the men then

As mean as those now

Employed by said Almighty

Them powers that be

Do you, like I do, when I worry,

Redirect perspective

Wouldn't you rather not

But be entranced by the beauty

The frightening void of the infinite

Interstellar Galactic outer space-time

The greatest unknown

Where not a man with all his worries

Weighs at all heavy

Not the cross you carry not a soul

On Earth and all her history

(life at last)

Here —We're all playing Asteroids.

Not to worry, true belief requires having class,

Still, you have vision & the looking glass.


P.S. Avoid the Mongoloids…
