Imagine...


Music: Still the same

Mood: Restless and uneasy
In my glass: Nero d’Avola Sicilia

Read in the paper last week (I think) that a Christian school (or church… I don’t remember exactly) had forbidden the students (or the members) to sing John Lennon’s “Imagine” because of the line “Imagine there’s (…) no religion (…)”. Because – in their opinion – it “denies” religion. Arrgh!! This song does not deny anything. I don’t remember where it was… if it was a school (or church) in NL or the USA… I do remember that I found it ridiculous. I tried to find that article today; I don’t remember which paper it was so I checked all the papers from the last 10 days but in vain.

SO, here’s me singing for those people who are not allowed to sing this song. (It’s really ridiculous!!)

----------------------------

From the newspaper today.
3 people started fasting today in Washington DC: one Israeli, one Lebanese and one Palestinian. Ok… I’m not fasting with them (I do support them though!!) but I decided instead not to complain about my minor problems at least for coming 2 weeks. There are people dying because of war, hunger, disaster...

----------------------------

Imagine

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
Live life in peace…

You may say 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 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

-----------------
(written by John Lennon)

    Hi ya Kiyomi, nice blog you've got here! :) Is this the school you were referring to - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=396625&in_page_id=1770 ? Yes, it is getting very ridiculous!
