"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 isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
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 Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
These were the amazing lines penned down by the immortal John Lennon, for his song IMAGINE. The song mesmerises one and all. Wonder how anybody could assasinate someone with a heart such as his!
The song itself was a result of a book titled "Imagine" ,presented to Lennon by his then girlfriend Yoko Ono(who later married him), which stimulated his thought processes to such an extent that it culminated in this magnificent song.
The song is supposed to be referring to utopia but many nosy economists have raised their ugly heads, claiming that it points towards anarchial socialism....Dumb!

It is the most awesome song ever. Most polls for the greatest single of all time usually have this at #1.
What nosy economists da ? I think all people , not just economists, find it somewhat irritating when commies talk about an utopian society and all that.
In fact, the US govt tried hard to deport Lennon out of the U.S because they thought his song was preaching communism when the americans were fighting the commies in Vietnam. They tried hard, but they didn't succeed though, and Lennon won his right to stay in New York.
