What to do
if you are sensitive
What to do
if you are informed
What to do
if you are open enough
to feel the pain
of your fellow beings
What to do if you don’t rationalize everything away
What if you don’t distract yourself from deeper feelings
What if you don’t put on pink new age-y glasses
What if cynicism is not an option for you
What do you do in the face of all this mess that humanity is in,
has created for herself
What to say to the generations to come
when they ask: “WHAT DID YOU DO, to change all of that madness”
“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 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
John Lennon (1940 – 8 12 1980 10:50pm – assassinated)
