Imagine
Lennon wrote a beautiful song, a poem really
(as all great songs are) and asked us a simple thing:
to imagine a perfect world, a world without war,
a world without hate, a world with neither fear
nor greed nor hunger-- just a world without evil.
And no need for religion his poem sang, no God,
no Soul, no hell, and no heaven as well....
Nothing to kill for, nothing to die for--
it all sounds so good, this brotherhood of man,
this world of innocence. No choices to make,
no need to struggle, all will be perfect,
though death will still end life and then
extinction, utter nothingness, awaits all.
Except for the last bit, it all sounds much as
you might imagine Heaven to be....
