Imagine there's no countries

John Lennon: 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, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day 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, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

     I want to live in a better world. In a much better world. People always say there is nothing you can do about it, the world is how it is... and one person can`t change it. Maybe they are right, but i believe that even one person can make a difference. We have to try, if we try we might fail, but if we don`t even try how we are going to explain it to our kids? How we are going to look in the mirror in couple years down the road? I know that most people think this is cliche, but I am truly filled up seeing our world in this state. I see young people being so disappointed in life, like they have nothing to live for. No future to look forward to. Parents that give up their kids, because they can`t feed or clothes them. Bright young people with diplomas without a work, and no hope of landing a job an time soon. Middle aged people, who got fired and they cant find an other job. Retired people who cant survive after a lifetime of work... And then you look around and what you see is war, diseases, hunger...Why did we let it go so far? Its a question I ask myself quiet often. When did we stop fighting? When did we decide that our kids wont need rainforests, birds, or clean air? Who told us that we have to obey the rich one percent of the world? When  did standing up for ourselves became a crime? We think we are lucky living in the democratic part of the world, and we look down with sad eyes on those, who don`t, but do we really have all those rights they say we do? What makes it alright to just stand by and let a small group of people decide for all of us? I don't think that blogging about it will change the world tomorrow, but I hope to see that there are a lot of people out there who feel or think similarly, and I hope that maybe together we can shake up the people and change something...
