John Lennon, Happy Birthday!

Today I was logging on the internet as I do everyday and since Google is my homepage, I saw some new graphics on the name Google like it sometimes appears on certain occassions. Well, turns out it's the 70th Birthday of John Lennon. This man is a legend along with the Beatles as a group.

I do not know much besides what is said about this courageous singer/songwriter/ peace activist; but I respect his cause. So, I pray that he may rest in peace and together, let us remember him with one of his most controversial and famous songs "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
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
