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 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 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 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

How can you say that it's about communism?grumble grumble grumble
It's about the image that life was a hope and dream of togetherness.

That song could not be MORE about communism! If you do not realize this you need to look up the definition of communism.

No possessions: everyone owns everything collectively. That is one of the basics of communism.

"To each according to his need, from each according to his ability." ~Karl Marx

Also, if everyone lived just for today, it wouldn't take but a couple years before all the food supply was gone because no one was storing up for the future. Because, if you live only for today and aren't thinking about tomorrow then why would you ever plant any crops?

Furthermore, if there is no Heaven, then life is not worth living.

And in the immortal words of Forrest Gump "That's all I got to say about that."

I'm a big fan of John's. Someone like he is and was taking the time to share every part of his life with us. He shared his pain and his blessings. He shared his search and wasn't fearful about letting us see changes that he went through as he went through them. Not many have that kind of courage.

John was and is a multi-layered person who set out to learn and be taught. From start to finish you can see so many twist and turns in his life, but the one thing you always saw was John himself.

For those who want to know more about John take a look into the 5th Beatles "Billy Preston". It's so easy to label, but sometimes a little harder to look at the soul, meaning, and ones independent search.

For those of you who have questions about this soul, I think you might be surprised when you get a chance to ask him for yourselves about some of his thoughts.

"That's the way God wants it to be" Billy

see ya John

peace
