The Judging of Dreams

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 faith and dreams? Not everyone possesses 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?
