Imagine

Imagine we all had our own 
little world to go into
Where lies aren't as loud, the 
truth isn't as quiet, and where 
we can forget all the pain we've 
been through.
Imagine instead of jealousy our 
eyes had love to see.
Imagine we were pushed by 
the affections we feel, as we 
found that somebody that 
defines perfection.

Ironically we fear negative 
transformations generated by 
love or an accurate imitation 
Why must it matter so much for 
us what foreign people 
suppose,
When they only critique what 
they lack in the most
Why when we witness a plight 
we fear shadows not knowing 
it'll lead us to light
Why do we surrender towards 
Hate provoking us to feel little 
when we should belittle those 
with misconceptions propelling 
our generation to believe in 
broken vows.

Imagine life was really what 
you want it to be
Where things and/or people 
were really what they seem, 
and not a bizarre image 
covered by spiritual smoke 
screens 
Just imagine you're the mirror 
to it all and they're just fearing 
your success because you're 
nearer to it.
