i'm not the only one

i hate to be trite (and also break my rule about more than one post per day) but i can't let this day pass without paying homage to the poignant lyrics from john lennon's, '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 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 


it's hard to imagine people putting aside their differences, their ideologies, their beliefs or their selfishness in the name of peace; but i try and i hope, like john said, i'm not the only one.
