Imagine….Peace At Last!

October 9…

Imagine...

There’s no countries

It isn’t hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for…

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace.

So goes the song 'Imagine' by the Beatles back in the 60s. The song which broke music records all over the world. The song which has become the inspiration of many peace advocates and aspirants.

Although the song conveyed ideals of a man on how he perceive PEACE should be in a world full of chaos, hatred and disbelief. The song became a universal symbol of universal socialism different and apart from the communist manifesto observed by Communist Russia and China or any other countries with communist governance.

John Lennon's ideas when he wrote the song were inspired and came from a Christian prayer book. According to John Lennon’s wife Yoko Ono, John’s perception and inspiration about peace in his mind was that we are all one country, one world, one people. Rolling Stone magazine described John Lennon’s lyrics as the plain and simple faith in the power of the people united to repair and change itself.

The power of the people united in purpose to heal, fix and change from worse to a better environment, a better place, better people, better country – a better world. The desire by one’s untainted innocence and desire to attain peace.

Here again are the thoughts of John Lennon when he penned them for the song he sang along with his band, the Beatles back in the 60s:

 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…
It isn't hard to do;
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people living life in peace…
I wonder if you can;
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man.


Imagine all the people sharing all the world…
I wonder if you can;
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man.
But I'm not the only one;


I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.
But I'm not the only one;
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

Imagine…

If John Lennon was alive today

He will now be 75 years old

Flashing the PEACE sign

As he share a smile at every one of us.

But John Lennon was gone. He was murdered last Dec. 8, 1980 by Mark David Chapman. A person obviously distraught with chaotic insanity and delusional psychotic mind. A person who needed PEACE so much in his life who have based his crime killing John Lennon to a book he has just read.

And as his birth anniversary nears, let us join John Lennon’s desire to finally have PEACE not only within ourselves, but for all people and all countries who are suffering because of aggression, oppression, anarchy, hatred and other ill-feelings and acts to make this world a safer place, a better place.

Imagine…

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.
