Imagine
Imagine a mouth that spoke only love
and discussed the realms of peace
Imagine a world that stood above
the violence that does never cease
Imagine if the cost of peoples lives
weren't measured in black gold
Imagine that sick pleasure wasn't derived
from the bloodshed yet to unfold
Imagine that the borders were suddenly erased
and no one could lay claim to chit
Imagine how many parliamentary big wigs
would surely slit their wrists
Imagine different times in your life
where there wasn't some war going on
Imagine that you could control all the strife
would you stop it, would you make it all gone?
Imagine the world now as it is
controlled by what, and by whom
Imagine that it hasn't come to this
and all is not lost in doom
Imagine We can determine exactly how this will end
by treating others how we'd like to be treated
Imagine the consequence is just gaining a friend
and not just the feeling of being defeated
Imagine.....
