Imagine

John Lennon's song Imagine was created in the 70s, but it is adored up to this day. In his song, John asks us to imagine a world were things that separate people weren't as important as they are now. He hoped that by turning his strong political message into a song, a wider audience would listen to it. Lennon says that global unity or harmony can be achieved if we let go of social order, which are things such as religion, social class, and political borders. Perhaps he didn't want those things to cease to exist, but he hoped that the competition between them would stop and that we could all put aside our differences, and treat each other as if we were brothers and sisters. "Imagine all the people" is repeated throughout the song to emphasize his message of unity. He says: "Imagine there is no heaven or hell" when religion is the one that teaches that those two exist. He hoped that people would stop saying "my God is greater than yours" and that people would all be able to respect each other's beliefs. What John was asking for is not easy to accomplish, if not impossible, that is why he describes himself as a dreamer in a part of the song, but he also says that he is not the only one. A world of peace may be a dream that we have all thought of, but one that hasn't been accomplished yet. John used his song as a tool for his political message to impact a larger crowd of people.
