Imagine if the wind didn't blow anymore
or the sun didn't disappear behind the mountains.
Imagine if the barriers didn't exist, 
all free to enjoy what we have been given.

Imagine if our wings had never been cut to be flying above our beliefs.
Imagine if there were no soldiers to be sent to fight,
no men death on the fire line.

Imagine a life with all the skin 
colours making a new flag
standing against the wind
for everybody to kneel down.

Imagine rivers with no blood
but water to run through,
free fish to swim in
playing games for new beginners.

Imagine if we all be embraced
taking appart our differences,
sailing on the same boat
against the cruelty of life. 

Imagine to accept 
the unacceptable
to join hands together 
to be only ONE

WoW! Maria, Your well-written poem works so well with the iconic and legendary song. Each line stands on its own. I like how you painted a picture. Good build-up to reinforce and drive your message home. Your last stanza was a great ending to a powerful and relevant message. Excellent job. This is the poem of the day worthy. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful day;-) Alexis

Hello dear Maria. What a beautiful thought proving ‘Imagine’ poem you have created. So many lovely lines to reflect on. I love the imagery throughout and the reference to the flag. The lines,’ sailing across the cruelty of life’’ on the same boat is also a truly wonderful thought, hope. Really enjoyed it. Good luck with the contest with this heartfelt entry. Hugs and smiles to you my lovely friend xx :):)
