Transmutation for the Good

What if with no ego I awoke?
Would it be a dream? I’d have to poke
or pinch myself to know if it were true.
I guess that I would have a different view
of almost everything and everyone.
Imagine that there was a brand new dawn,
and everyone was filled with only peace
and love sublime. All wars would cease!

Is it even possible when there
is so much evil and so much despair
around us everywhere? Oh, what a dream
transmutation for the good would seem.
The way our world is now, I cannot see
conversion such as this could ever be.
In death, the veil will lift. At last we’ll know
God’s truth. Then love from every soul will flow.

Well...empathy for others is not such an easy thing to master. Shame that it has to wait for this and we can't seem to get there before. You have a wonderful spirit and your poetry brings me much closer to that point. Just reading this makes me think about the subject instead of the mundane.

The Bible tells us it will happen but not before a terrible war one last time and The Great Tribulation. Then Christ will Return. A lovely write. Good luck in the contest. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB

Yes. I am just talking about those who die and understand upon death why they had gone to earth in the first place
