If we can only imagine: Praise to John Lennon’s song


As I am listening to John Lennon’s Imagine. Its sounds, rhythm and message entering the cochlea of my ears going to the nerve endings of it - decoding, interpreting, and deepening each word of its lyrics. Somehow, I feel redemption from its three minute and fifty one second song.

Why is it so? Because I, myself and no one but me is a dreamer. A person who wants to be in a world of nothing who’ll tell me, I’m non sense, sinner at its finest, hypocrite to its perfection.

A world where there is no one will say what is right and wrong. However, it’s ironic, we don’t have an option but to follow what the socially stigma and standards set to all. No one will be criticized by his freedom of choice.

Each lines of the song maybe or could have different interpretations, for everyone is unique, singular and rightful for their own opinion. It might be shallow, melancholic, dramatic, and crazy and so I am.

Imagine there’s no heaven, It’s easy if you try, there is no hell below us, above is only sky, Imagine all the people living for today… - Imagine a world free from conservatives, socialist and segregators – no one will judge who is rightfully sinner or drastic diabolic. In the end, our purpose to this world is to do well, be good and nothing but goodness.

Imagine there’s no countries, It isn’t hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too, imagine all the people living life in peace – Imagine a world without power hunger, power tripping and lust in power – no one will whine, be poor and all people will live a happy life. In the end, our purpose is to help, share and love others.

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one, I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one – Imagine if all people are dreamer – no one will be selfish. In the end, all we have to do is to help ourselves to improve ourselves.

Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, no need for greed and hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world… - Imagine a world of free barter, no money and materialism – In the end, we have to accept that monetary system is use for proper organization and trading.

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one, I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one – Imagine a world full of people loving each other without conditions. In the end, the things that we do are about love.

So wake up and realize that the world is not about imagination. It needs actions and deeds. Imagine, what you imagine could be a rationalization and realization.
