Praying in The Avant Garde

When You are all in all
and make all things good,
The Kingdom is here

When everywhere I turn
there is the face of God,
Your Glory is seen

Polish the mirror of my heart
that Your Pleroma may shine,
unobscured by the fragmentation
of Yaldabaoth's permeation

Erase my ego
that these cracks may disappear

Heal these wounds
and restore Your dream

Bring under control the leaders of the nations
So we can enjoy the wine
of a fine fermentation

Send forth Your justice
Foster Your loving kindness

Help us to see light all around
subduing the darkness

Fantastic poem! 
I'm learning a lot. 

I added some notes below to help others who (may) be like me and need to look the words, before making a review. Thank you for sharing another amazing poem! 

Favorite Part: 

Heal these wounds
and restore Your dream

I have a limited back round in religious studies, so I'm writing the review with blurry lenses and an open mind that one day, I'll return to your work and be able to grasp the full meaning. The words you used and how you set up the poem worked well. Although, it does require some knowledge on the subject to review property. Hope my notes help other readers who may not know what the words mean.
