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

    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.”
