Dreams of Spiritual Ascension

I look for a future of brighter days

Somewhere over the hill and far away,

Where we plunge ourselves fully heart and soul

Into spiritual mindfulness

Where suffering has become unknown

And we regard our future as being blessed,

We rose up out of our ignorance of being self obsessed

And shone our love and light out on a quest

To change this world in which we try to live to the best,

As an equal place where people choose to give

And not just to exploit and take

That which is not theirs as a way to get rich,

For my love for a spiritual ascension I bleed,

Because I know that's just what our humanity needs.

You have just described heaven, which makes me wonder, what if this is hell?
