Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
Nowhere below us
Above 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 be as one
What do you "feel" when you listen to this song?

Its a humanism and atheist dream and I do not see that it is possible or probably that humans have the capacity to live in utopia.
Just to use a cultural reference -
In the original Matrix movie it was said that the machines made a utopia but the humans sould not accept that as a reality.
I believe in our present state of being - we can not life such a dream.

I feel it is possible to have such a world.
However, if I expect such a world to encompass the entire nations and their people I will feel it to be an unreacheable goal.. dream. But, it can start witha small world around where I live, my community, my village, my city .....where I , too, would have contributed to the unity. This , I think, is certainly possible.

There's absolutely no harm in dreaming. Who knows one day, if we all dream the same thing, it just might work out. But then again that's just a thought. No one can blame you for dreaming. Good song, one of my childhood favourites. Gave me a lot of inspiration.

I "feel" that John Lennon was over-rated on the whole.... but this is a fabulous sentiment in anybody's book - almost insprired.
It makes me feel sad actually, at the mess the world is in today.

I would say that John Lennon was a dreamer that made lots of money on this song.

It's too bad that I believe in heaven because this is a wicked song/poem or what ever it is. Do another on. Did you make this up.

Ummm. double standards.
Good ol' John Lennon wasnt exactly the most amiable Beatle, I'm sure he would have embraced all who wantred to be 'as one' with him............. as long as they only done what he wanted to do, and nothing else.

Idealistic and then a little sad coz the chances of any of that are very slim.
