"Imagine" by John Lennon

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

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 may say that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

I have posted the lyrics to John Lennon's song, Imagine, to illustrate the utter hopelessness of the liberal, humanistic, evolutionary mind. The only reality is what we can see. Nothing has such great value, no principle, truth, or person, that we would devote or give our lives for that entity. The hopelessness of Lennon's stated philosophy is that without someone being willing to die for that philosophy and impose it upon the world, his view of life will remain only the words of a catchy song. Yet, his rejection of wealth, of which he had massive amounts, truth, national identity, principle, and most of all, God, shows how misguided he was. I wonder why he never gave up his wealth? Maybe he did not really believe the words of his own song.
