IMAGINE

We are a species filled with imagination, resourcefulness and creativity.  We create from what we envision. 

We're sometimes gullible.  We can believe in almost anything.  Different groups, different beliefs -  we place our trust in the government, USDA, FDA,
EPA and the AMA, just to name a few.  We believe in faith healers, televangelists, psychics and mediums. 

Some believe in a "rapture" wherein everyone who is a true "believer" is one day caught up into the heavens to be with God, or that Jesus Christ is coming back on a white horse.  Others believe in 7 virgins for every martyr for their cause.

We swallow info on every fad diet that comes down the pike.  We'll try every miracle vitamin product, wrinkle cream and exercise dodad that finds its way to the market.  We're gullible man!

And yet, we pray for peace and promote war.  Imagination run amuck.  That's not right.  Why can't we create peace....imagine oneness....the brotherhood of man...non-violence.

Well, I think that this is the side God's on........see below.

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 in peace

You may say that 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 that 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
