Maybe what John really meant for us to do on hearing his song, was not to become atheists, anarchists, hippies, or communists for that matter, since a man of Johnâ??s stature should long ago have lost the interest in the glitter of isms. Those who believe that Jesus is God are not burdened by him but liberated by him from worldly things. Jesus taught us to wipe the dust off our feet as evidence against those who would not believe the Word of God – not to harm non-believers. Lennon suggests that religion is responsible for man’s inhumane actions to his fellow man. Though this may be true of those with twisted concepts of their religion, it is not true of real Christians. We strike and preempt, but forget to fix and to prevent. We compete and become professionals at that, but forget that in cooperation lies the harmony of life, in humanity and in the entire planet. Jakob from Watauga Texas, TxHe is simply asking us to imagine a world in complete peace. That the world could be as one. and not be divided. its a truly inspiring song. john lennon hade a voice that needed to be heard..he is a founder of all music. rip john.

Krissy from Boston, MaI love this song. I am a teen and I understood what he trying to say. He just wanted people to live in peace and love each other. John will always be remeber and he will always be with us. Three and a half years earlier on October 17th, 1971 "Imagine" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at #20; and just three weeks later it would peak at #3 {for 2 weeks} and it stayed on the chart for 9 weeks... Lies are best believed when you mix a little truth into them. Lennon’s mixing of truth and non truth at first appearance gives some credence to his song Imagine.

Austin from St Louis, MoThis song is a description of a perfect utopia seen through John Lennon's eyes. Its a world where people aren't divided by religion, killing, greed, and all other problems in the modern world. Nat from Kolkata, IndiaThis is not Lennon's best song, but it's beautiful. So simple and inspiring. I love it. Phil T from CincinnatiJust watched the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony. They presented a children's choir singing Imagine. While I get the sentiment of brotherhood and togetherness the method presented by this song is Communism, rejection of the one true Lord and Creator, and the common-sense defying denial of natural human behaviors such as individualism, ownership of property and faith in God. The one-world government will come and the Anti-Christ will rule the world. If you are still here you will have to chose faith in Jesus Christ and death or taking the mark of the beast or the number of his name and be forever cursed and separated from The Living God. DON'T take the number! You will NEVER have true life if you do. Prostate Cancer UK hopes its Ode To Dads campaign will raise awareness and raise funds for research. The final line of the spot reads: “Imagine a day without our dads,” and then issues a call to action to donate to the charity. In 2005, Imagine a Day won the Governor General's Award for illustration, which had been presented to Gonsalves by the Governor General of Canada.

Dec 8, 1980 John was appointed his portion with the hypocrites and unbelievers – and it doesn't take much imagination join him there. To have becomes our next goal after survival, and most of the times, they become our last. Thus, we become insensitive to the needs of others, humans or not, and ignorant to the needs of the planet. Jeff from Casa Grande, AzYou know, I think John just wanted people to open their minds and think. Use your imagination. Lord knows, he had one vast and seemingly endless. What if, ask yourself. Shoot, there are other possibilities. Imagine them. Imagine. Cassy from Atlantis, BotswanaReading through these comments, seeing the beliefs of others and how peace is way too far-fetch, makes me realize why our world is so messed up. Kimberly from Landing, Njlive n life in peace would be wonderful. but sad to say the brotherhoods dont share the same concept.

Marx believed religion is used to suppress the fight for a better existence in this life for the promise of paradise in the after life. This line signifies the struggle for a better life in the here and now--instead of waiting in hope for a paradise that does not exist in some amorphous after life. Another ideal the world grew up with is that we should strive for what is ours, with our people and our nation among our most precious. Picture a day was first performed at the Aix-en-Provence festival in July, and the UK premiere at the Linbury uses the same production, directed and designed by Daniel Jeanneteau and Marie-Christine Soma. For the most part their staging matches the spareness of the work itself, though it tends to overlook the moments of wit and dark humour that Crimp sneaks into his text, and overdoes the depiction of Zabelle’s garden in the final scene, when video projections create a strange aquatic world of algal growths and bubbles, which seems both irrelevant and superfluous. Stephan from Pw, NyVery good :P on the other hand you did give a good argument for what you heard and for that I congratulate you...but im 16 and everyone I told about this thought that the argument was funny lol

a militant fundamentalist. People have free will and a choice. There is no way to FORCE people to believe the same thing you do. Since the beginning of time, fighting wars over religion has never achieved anything. As far as Capitalism goes, the Bible teaches helping others and giving to the poor. Jesus was not a Capitalist--he drove the money changers out of the temple, and taught humility and moderation in everything. Corporate greed is not godly, or Christ-like. The song is powerful, and if more people listened to Lennon's message the world might be just a bit more peaceful.Chelsea Girl from Cleveland, Oh"Imagine" is a very special song. It's hard for me to review it because it isn't my favorite John Lennon song an yet I believe it's probably, ultimately, his most powerful. This is a unifying song that people all over the world love and sing. Even when I hear those opening chords my mind stops and I get very misty-eyed. It really is a deep song. Absolutely one of the greatest classics ever written by anyone.
