Imagine
If humans were a peaceful and forward-thinking people as a race.

John Lennon wrote the song “Imagine” back in 1971. The opening lyrics were:

No hell below us

Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine no possessions
No need for greed or hunger
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
And the world will live as one Credit: John Lennon
