Imagine

Imagine the world with no religion.
  No God,
      No hell,
          No disdain.

Imagine the world with no possessions.
  No theft,
      No greed,
          No Hussein.

Imagine the world filled with peace.
  No hate,
      No death,
          No pain.

Imagine the world as John Lennon did.
  Filled with peace,
                            Love,
                                    And champagne.

He was a dreamer who's life was cut short,
All he wanted was peace and support.
He was a man who thrived on love,
And he was brutally killed thereof.
So imagine his dream and let it be embraced,
And maybe some day hostility will be erased.


Author notes

About John Lennon's song Imagine.

And champagne seems out of place, but it is like a metaphor for celebration.

Please tell me what you think

    Was never much of a Lennon fan though that song somehow caught my fancy. This is an interesting interpretation of it... good luck in the contest.

    i think without all hate and god and etc. the world would be boring cuz everything would be perfect.and there is no such thing as perfect so the world wouldnt exist.

    nice write though.

      Yeah, but if everything was fixed then the world would be harmonious, looking back at the past.

      It would be boring if the world is, was, and would always be perfect and we knew nothing different.

      Besides, the poem isn't promoting perfection, it's promoting peace.

      (Sorry if that sounded mean, I didn't mean it to. )

    I love that song so much and I think your poem expresses it's intent well!

    Um 5th to last line, is that suposed to be 'peace an support'? or 'peace and support'? Sorry if I have misread something.

    I dream of a world like this also. Happiness.

        No probs, I do the same thing myself all the time, it is why I try to point such things out to other people, cause that is what I need (other things as well) a proof reader.
