Jane from Silver Spring, MdLennon was not asking us to imagine a heaven, seeing as part of the song is "imagine there's no heaven"

Jonn from Liverpool, Englanda truly awe-inspiring and beautiful song. The lyrics are so empassioned and moving. Some day people might see what he tried to say and realise that, that is how the world should be; an oasis of peace and love. Mail Option: Entries must be postmarked by November 13th.

Paulo Pato from Toronto, CanadaI read somewhere that David Bowie helped Lennon write the song Imagine I find myself drawn more to the pictures - like I would be as a child - than to the words. Without the illustrations, the words would be quite empty I think.Kimberly from Landing, Njlive n life in peace would be wonderful. but sad to say the brotherhoods dont share the same concept. Kim from Uk, United StatesJohn wasn't a hypocrite. When he was younger he was very angry at the world, but people change. He would have been able to give up his possessions, he proved it when he lay in bed for a week with nothing but his clothes (and wife) for his cause. It's funny how people sitting at their Interent-enabled computers judge him for having a fancy car. And someone (I can't find who) says this song is against what God wanted? It is exactly what God wanted. If you'd ever read your Bible, you'd know that in the 'perfect world' God created in the beginning, 'Imagine' was what it was like. There was no religion either, just God, and people's relationships with him. The song is powerful, and if more people listened to Lennon's message the world might be just a bit more peaceful. Krissy from Boston, MaJohn, people hate Yoko becuase they think she is y they broke up. Even though it's a big arguement still y they broke up. A lot of people blame Yoko. Because it's theye asy thing to do. But if u read books and interviews there a plenty of reasons y. But nobody will listen. I must say I am not crazy about Yoko either. Sorry.

Hank Zipzer, poster boy for dyslexic middle graders everywhere, stars in a new prequel series highlighting second-grade trials and triumphs. Raheem from Sewell, NjThere has been more killing in the name of communism in the 20 century than any crusade or any religious war. The thought of religion causing war is just ignorant to me. If you think this song is not a communist propaganda piece than your not paying attention.By the way, A great song. Image There's No Lennon from AustraliaAn overrated load of simpering drivel with a wimps--t melody by a narcissistic overrated hypocrite.

Jake from Burke, VaIn my mind, Imagine is the best song in Lennon's entire career, either as a Beatle or as a solo artist. In the meantime, all of you people saying, "this is a good song except for the religion part." Don't you realize that that is probably the biggest thing that needs to be changed? We have all these religions, Christian, Muslim, Jewish,and we have all this descrimintion! Imagine all the people believing as they should! You can go there if you would – just place your faith in Him.? ?Praying that you will! Yes U o Oooo. . .? Martin from Nairobi,kenyaPriceless yet timeless ballad! Thanks to my dad who was and still is a Beatles fan, I warmed up to them in my early teen years!

Ali from Tripoli, Libyan Arab JamahiriyaIf there is no heaven, no hell and no religion....Had there been in the heavens and earth gods besides the Lord of the universe, then verily both would have been ruined.

Josh from Cincinnati, OhThe song starts off on a C chord..so does about every other song ever. Most basic chord on a piano or guitar.

Alex from Rialto, CaI was writing a post on my blog about the Israel-Palestine conflict, and this song was playing. There was just something about the contrast between the reality I was reading and writing about and the song I was hearing and singing that nearly made me break down in tears. 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. I cannot understand Thomson's choice to keep the smaller words in her poetry, unless it is to help younger readers understand what the text is saying in a grammatical way... except it isn't the point of poetry to teach those concepts, but to invoke feelings and wonder in the reader. Galda, Cullen and Sipe says, “Poetry is intense, an intricate combination of the sounds, meanings, and arrangement of words to call attention to something in a fresh, compelling manner.” (139). However, sometimes she uses great alliterations such as “cut and stitch a city from the starry sky” which uses the “S,” “T,” and “St” sounds repetitively. Her metaphors and similes make sense and can be understood by younger readers (“wheels grow wings”) which is very important when it comes to poetry for younger ages because if the metaphors are way too complicated, the author risks losing their audience's attention and understanding of what they've written. Tom from Islip, NyThis song is hippie bullsh*t, made by an idiot who thought he was changing the world by taking acid and hallucinating, while frying his brain. Its about a Communist Utopia, and is a a joke.Krissy from Boston, MaLinda, Yeah Blake Lewis sang it on American Idol. It was pretty good the way he sing it. But nothing is as good as the way John Lennon sang it. It is such a beautiful song. The unity in God simply can not produce divides. Itâ??s our imperfect understanding and actions alone that produce the divides and blinds us from the unity that binds us. And it seems to me, diversity is Godâ??s way of saying, â??unite all believers of the world !â? in the style of the Marxian version for workers. This is so apparent when one reads the sacred scriptures of the worlds religions. One would find so many overlapping essence throughout, expressed in different wordings, in different languages, and in different contexts, with the prime example being the â??Golden Ruleâ? : Love thy neighbour. Jay from Atlanta, Ga"He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty." -Proverbs 28:19 The campaign is aimed at people with fathers over 50 who would be more concerned about their parents getting cancer. It was inspired by the statistic that over 11,500 men die from prostate cancer each year, and over 30 men will die on Father’s Day. Sibella from Pretoria, South AfricaWith or without religion, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. That's a qoute from Steven Weinberg. So sorry about your poetry contest, Tay!
