Greed, Guns, Bigotry ...IMAGINE!
Following the London Olympics opening ceremony where the Brits celebrated universal health care and John Lennon, etc., and following the string of shootings throughout the U.S., I thought it was time for us to think of a world better than the one that greed capitalism is giving us. The lyrics to the song "Imagine!" by John Lennon, played at the Olympic opening, follow. Please think of a world that could be...could be. Imagine with all our wealth and riches shared, just imagine what kind of a world we could build.
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 isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life at peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one...
Imagine no possessions
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 I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.
