Who hopes for the utopia John Lennon explained?

[wayoftheleaf]

I'm not the only one :smokin:


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

[MastaChronic]

Imagine being able to live past twenty-one
No more ghettos, no more slums
Everybody's young
Don't nobody pack a gun
Cause killers it ain't none
We all one, and feeling your pain sons
Daughters
Flap your wings, walk on water
I am the ressurection, and the life
Trials and tribulations got me speaking in this ill communication
Just a product of this wickedness created in this nation
But i was sworn from the cross
I was born to be a boss
How long will they mourn me when my life is lost?
Never mind that. What if you could rewind the time back?
Would you bring B-I-G or Martin Luther King back?
It's all about love and happiness, word to Al Green
I mean that as i lean back in a clean 'Lac
Thinking about never dying
Rep Detroit like the lions
Flap my wings and keep flying

I know everybody die, but what if people didn't die?
And the sky was a place where you could just fly?
Is it nine-one-one or nine-eleven?
2pac can you tell me if there's thugs in Heaven?
And a one-eighty-seven is a thing of the past
Shotguns dont blast, theres no aftermath
Theres no need for bail, theres no need for jail
This could be your Heaven, theres no need for Hell
There's no more babies dying
There's no more mothers crying
Trying to put together your skull from slugs flying
Imagine a world with no war and no crime
No more niggas doing time, no more going out your mind
No more runnin from the cops, no more standing on the block
No more going to sleep at night from the sounds of gunshots
No more strain on the brain from the pain of the game
I was thinking to myself while I was walkin in the rain

Lol that was funny, but kind of took the magic from the moment.

[TokinAsianGuy]

it's a beautiful dream, but a dream nonetheless.

i don't think we're capable of achieving that level of peace, but things will eventually settle down. when you've hit rock bottom the only way to go is up, right?

[wayoftheleaf]

true true.

[MastaChronic]

no, when the human race hits rock bottom we will whip out the high power drill and keep on going down until we reach extinction. humans are theyre own worst enemies

[wayoftheleaf]

once again, true.

[minnesota man]

There was a movie on VH1 about him.

[wayoftheleaf]

Yah john lennon was kick ass

[Reefer Rogue]

What a song, what a legend. R.I.P

some of their earlier work was their best I think

[Tomorrow Never Knows]

Sometime in New York, John Sinclair, my fucking quote, its a history lesson everytime I post.

Where is Jerry Rubin?

[Tomorrow Never Knows]

Are you down with the late 66 Kenwood mellatron experiments Lennon did. They are very much in the vain of Magical Mystery Tour.

WOTL
I would love to see the world like that....

But, we have been at war with each other since the dawn of time.....


We are not capable of peace....Sorry, to break it to you and John Lennon.

Makes a great song though........and a great dream......but i live in reality.

Have a Happy new year WOTL......I would give you a Noggie if you were here...little brother style.....

[suhl]

try moving to communist cuba that is about the closest you are going to get to that wonderful dream. a lot of its good but not all. ill be honest i dont want to be ruled by posessions but without them id be bored as shit a lot of the time. other than that all good. straight communist though.

[ganjah]

I'd love it although it would be nice to know I'm going to a nice place when I die, but this plan wouldnt go well with those who are powered by money turning them into greedy money hungry robots.

[Pipe Dreams]

no, when the human race hits rock bottom we will whip out the high power drill and keep on going down until we reach extinction. humans are theyre own worst enemies


Agreed man, and nice rhymes.

Myself though, I hope it never comes to the point where the world is like john lennons song. Shit, I been on the block, and Ive earned my stripes.

[benagain]

Never gonna happen. It's a nice thought and a great song, but it'll never happen (at least I think). It's allways possible that we may survive the next evolutionary leap, but I just dont see it happening.

I'm a HUGE fan of Lennon and the Beatles but how many million did John and Yoko have in the bank account when he died?

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

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Haha John Lennon got pwnt.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

there have always been people who have aspired to that wonderful dream, some have even tried to make it come true, but the fear and ignorance inherent in the human race makes it an unreachable dream.

yes; the rich, lennon among them, can afford that sort of altruistic thinking and can even live by it at times. how often have we seen celebrities posing for the photo-op while spouting such profound words? too often, it seems, the proponents of such communistic utopias are just mugging for the paparazzi while the true champions of those movements are either ignored or assassinated in the street and quickly forgotten.

there have always been the dreamers and there have always been the workers and until the two are united utopia is the impossibility we have always been taught it is. i've always figured that people like lennon, the dreamers, exist so that we, the workers, can have something to latch onto. have you latched onto the dream? if so, what have you done to realize it?

those questions were rhetorical. this is just another mindless rant by another mindless anarchist and not a call to arms (though it probably should be).


by the way, did you know that about a quarter of the u.s. population believes that the second coming of christ is imminent, how sad is that.

[wayoftheleaf]

Who here has read the book "The Giver"?

It is highly controversial, but very good none the less.

I am not so sure a perfect society would work for humanity.

We would lose our personalities.
