John Lennon got shot on 8th Dec 1980. Not only was he the most loved and the most (arguably) talented of The Beatles, he had that different level of humility which very few posses. I am aware that loving Lennon has long since become a cliché, but I can’t help it. His ‘Imagine’, along with ‘Where mind is without fear..’ by Tagore and ‘If’ by Kipling are the most inspiring poems I’ve ever read. (I consider Lennon a far greater poet than a musician). The magic of ‘Imagine’ is contagious. The more you imagine, the more you believe. To the man who dared to Imagine..And yes, he is the only one...
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
