    Imagine there's no countries,
    It isn't hard to do,
    Nothing to kill or die for,
    No religion too,
    Imagine all the people
    living life in peace...



    When you stop and think about it, no. It isn't hard to do.

    Imagine no possesions,
    I wonder if you can,
    No need for greed or hunger,
    A brotherhood of man,
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world...


    The big problem is, we would only all have to agree on it. Wouldn't it be nice, to wake up in the morning to a beautiful world, with no wars, no ownership, and true peace?

    You may say I'm a dreamer,
    but Im' not the only one,
    I hope some day you'll join us,
    And the world will live as one.


    Yes, I know I'm crazy. Am I the only one, whoever who wishes this? And even if this did exist, what would ruin it all? Post your opinions please!

    I agree with you all, accept frisbee, fuck off man. That's why we need to start doing it again guys, similar to the way it was back in the sixties, people travelling, people being in nature, nature is what it's about in the first place, where we came from. I mean, who's been on a hitchhiking trip across any piece of land in the past month, I bet not vary many of you. I'm just as much of a fake too though, I drive a car, I hardly ever camp, I eat burgers at McDonalds, I don't reuse cups, and plastic forks, or apply to join with the peace corps, or marching in an anti war protest. I think about doing all that stuff a lot, and I know how I want to be, but I feel like I'm always being fake, saying one thing and doing the other. Does anyone else feel this way, and want to go on a fuck'n hitchhike across the country, if you do and are inspired deep down in your soul to do it, give me a call please please please. Everyone should checkout these real hippy's on the net, just type into Google, Kinga Chopin Hitchhike, and It'll show you a page created by two travellers, hitchhiking around the world, living a vegan lifestyle, joining Buddist ritual meetings in Indonesia, living in a tent on roof tops, in alleyways, on mountains, by the sea, can you imagine? I read it, and for a few days I'll know that it's real, but then I'm away, and bam, back into life, still reading hippy material, but just not living my authentic lifestyle.

    frisbee is wrong - Hitler was a totalitarian dictator - the ideals expressed in Imagine are utopian communism; an unworkable pipedream - only existing in the mind of dreamers.

    Way to dredge up Poli Sci 101. But frisbee was hardly suggesting Hitler wrote the song and John Lennon ripped it off (from the unedited original Mein Kampf maybe?). Just that Hitler also imagined a world sans countries.

    But I actually think Nation-States are a good idea.

    Yes, John was amazing! I wonder what he would say if he's seen how much the world has changed, how much more downhill we've gone.

    definitely* <There ya go

    What was I going to say...*distracted by the spelling issue*

    Oh, right. Yes, I'm sure there are lots of people who want to imagine everything mentioned in this brilliant song, me being one of them, but then there are always people who enjoy going out and shooting things/killing things/starting wars. Money would stop the musings of this song from becoming a reality...And if you go beyond money, it is, essentially, man who will stop any of this from happening.

    BUCKY BALLS! science comes back to haunt me...

    well im all for it but most people would say its all corny and cheesy boring etc (assholes) basically the chav's and angry politically obsessed people who love conservatives and labour for that matter. i cant find any party (except maybe harrisons) which is gonna help that change to-a come im afriad mate.

    ALSO READ THIS:

    the world was one island once, and the problem with no countries etc and everyone sharing is that eventualy after a short while tribes would form and people would start fighting over silly things and we get a return to todays realillty again.
