The Judging of Dreams

Instead of judging someone by the things they have
why not judge them by the things they wish they
could have

Some people are judged by their deeds good or bad

The Egyptians believed that a man's
salvation of damnation relied solely on the weighing
of one's heart against
the Goddess Maat's feather of truth

In Christianity a mortals eternal judjement
may be administered upon his soul by
an all powerful God deciding whether
he shall pass through the gates of heaven
or the fiery abyss of hell

Society assigns individuals
their status based on finances
and occupation
while the magazine covers are saying
it is your physical attributes
we are to be admired or shunned for

So many ways that we are to be held accountable for
our success or failures

However:

Today let's be judged by our hopes and dreams

Not everyone possesses the means
to substantial finances or striking features
although we can imagine
hope still abounds

Some will fantasize over wealth
and the luxury it entails
others will long for fame
or that beautiful seductive lover

I aspire for the cessation
of world hunger and homelessness
despite now owning the means to make
this a concrete reality

Nonetheless it is my dream

I wonder how will I be judged for this
