The judging of dreams


from the ABC set Eyes of the Lynx

Some people are judged by the deeds

That they have done, some refer to

This as a universal law called karma

While the Egyptians believed a man's

Salvation or damnation relied solely

On the weighing of one's heart against

The goddess Maats' feather of truth

In Christianity, a mortal's eternal judgment

May be administered upon his soul by

An all powerful God deciding whether he

Shall pass through the gates of Heaven

Or into the fiery lakes of hell

Society assigns individuals their

Social status based on money and

Occupation, while magazines seem

To be saying it is your physical attributes

That we are to be admired or shunned for

So many ways to be held accountable

For our mistakes or our success is their not?

However....................

What if we were judged by our dreams?

What If I do not possess the means

To unlimited finances or striking features?

We can still imagine

Because hope still abounds

Some will fantasize over wealth

And all the luxuries it entails,

While Others long for popularity

Or erotic sexual sexual desires

I wish for the cessation of world hunger

And the spreading of peace and human awareness

Despite not having all the sufficient means

to make this a thorough reality

Nonetheless, it is my dream

So, how will I be judged?
