Just Imagine

Maybe not here
But somewhere else
Wars will recede
All guns left on a shelf

Imagine your neighbourhood
No sirens wailing
Wanton killing ceases
Society not failing

Starvation exists
But not as we know
More hours of joy
As we go with the flow

Imagine our children
Who could become very sick
All health is free
Not a cent on tick

Employment abounds
As we work hand in hand
Greed is abolished
No bonuses of grand

Imagine our children
Who play in our parks
They can walk home alone
No shadows of dark

Turn three sixty
And open your eyes
To live in a world
Where there is no despise

Imagine our world
Where we live safe and free
Conglomerate, politicians
Listen to we
