Imagination (My Response To John Lennon’s “Imagine”)

When I listen to this piece,

This musical piece by a man long deceased,

I can’t help but help wonder,

What the world would be like

If we cared for one another,

Gave to each other,

And were there for each other.

What would that world be like?

Would it be nice?

Would people act right?

Would we all not fight?

Would we not be superficial

And judge people

For the color of their skin,

Or for what was between their legs,

Or for who they chose to kiss,

Or for how they chose to dress,

Or for what their gender is,

Or for what their religion is,

Or for being atheists,

Or for having disabilities,

Or for not being rich,

Or for being homeless,

Or for not being intelligent,

Or for being promiscuous,

Or for being addicts,

Or for being imprisoned,

Or for being furry friends?

What would such a world be like?

Would we stand up for what’s right

And not lose sight

When we lose our light?

What would such a world be like?

I would like to hope

That in that world

We could get past our own egos

And treat those

Who feel lost

With the utmost

Compassion

That’s so strong

That it won’t

Ever be lost!

Is such a world possible?

I’d like to say it’s not impossible!

Will it be difficult?

For sure, it will,

However, I’m certain we’ll

One day feel

A sense of brotherhood

That’ll unite us all!

Am I a dreamer?

Am I a believer?

Am I the only one?

Am I waiting for the sun?

Who knows?

But what I do know is that I love

The song

By John Lennon

Called “Imagine.”
