The judging of dreams

by Mark Lee   Dec 27, 2006


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 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?
