Hello all, I'm not an artist or a poet and don't pretend to be.
On Lennon's birthday, I found myself sitting alone late at night and reflecting on the state of things. Feeling particularly depressed about the lies people believe and so much misplaced anger in the world, for some strange reason, I spontaneously began to write what I euphemistically refer to as Imagine II. Even more strange is that for reasons completely mysterious to me, I feel the need to share it. I thought maybe folks here could appreciate and relate to the thoughts and feelings I had while jotting this down. I guess I just wanted to share.
Imagine II
Imagine there’s no Lennon Don’t even have to try All passion lost now, Sometimes I have to cry Imagine what’s before us When truth is lost to lies
Imagine all the countries It isn’t hard to do So much pain and sadness And much religion too Imagine all the people Dying for a lie
You may say I’m a dreamer But I can still believe In the dream of Lennon You too can still believe
Imagine there’s no anger I wonder if you can No one yelling on the TV No talking radio man Imagine all the people Thinking for themselves
You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one You too can be a dreamer And the world can live as one.

Thanks everyone. I should have known I could count on Lennon fans to be kind. As for recording it, I'm certainly not up to the task. If anyone else is so inclined, please post a link as that would be very cool. If you make millions, please remember to share a few crumbs.
