Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Have you ever really listened to the words? John Lennon has a pretty good view of what a perfect world should be like. But it really isn't as easy to imagine as he says it is.

Its a great song, and I admire for what he stood for, but its not going to happen any time in the near future. Better that each looks after their own, and when everyone can provide adequatly for themselves it will be the next natural progression.

That song is pathetic, and I'm sick of people saying how great it is.

Lennon was a big phony. BTW WTF was up with his love for Yoko.

He forgot a line:

Imagine that your life has no meaning, is empty and monotonous.

Yoko Kanno is a great music writer.

Imagine that your life has no meaning, is empty and monotonous.

Why? He wasn't advocating transhumanism.

I have to agree with that, however the song is still amazing.

The only drawback to Lennon's little dream world is that life would probably be very dull.

Sharing all the world
