For some reason today, I was thinking of John Lennon. So I went to Google and looked up information on him. John Lennon was ahead of his time. He knew the government could not be trusted. And he said as much in his writings.
Some quotes from John Lennon:
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.
You don’t need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are.
You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
I don’t believe in killing whatever the reason
And his lyrics to Imagine are so beautiful.
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today.
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.
You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one.
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world.
You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will live as one.
I love this song/poem. It’s too bad we all can’t live as one and in peace. Maybe some day? Too bad John Lennon is not alive to speak up for peace.
