IMAGINE
by John Lennon
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

thank you for this good blog post.
Never ever lets the kids fall into this situation. Oh God please help Cambodia.
just love this man. ....one of the greatest singer/song writer.
John Lennon's song "Imagine" is just a dream in the sky. He sang of peace, the kind of peace without the real Peace Giver. Such a world does not exist.
If peace could have been achieved through human efforts, John Lennon would have attained inner peace within himself a long time ago. But he end up committing suicide.
So much for his song "Imagine."
Whoever post this song long for false hope like John Lennon.
I love John Lenon. His wife Yoko too.
John Lennon was assassinated, but never mind the artist's personal life story, it is his Message of World Peace devoid of Hunger, Want, Greed, Divisions, Possessions, Hatred, Domination by one group or country over another etc. that bears relevance to humanity today and tomorrow . . if it comes.
There are many great inspired works of art depicting different shades of man's emotions; of his triumphs and tragedies, of love and betrayal, of hope and disappointment and so on, just as there are great songs of liberation struggle, of people's experiences of political repression or injustice, of workers' exploitations by their bosses, and John Lennon had probably written about virtually all of these themes, just as Sinn Sisamouth (the father of 'modern' Khmer popular music) left behind a lasting enduring legacy that still resonates in Khmer people's lives today, in all their varied, contradictory complexities.
Thank you KI Media for your thought and effort.

ពួកអាមានតែមាត់និយាយមិនដែលគិតដល់ប្រជាជន
នោះទេមិនដែលឃើញគណបក្សប្រឆាំងណាមួយ
បានជួយពលរដ្ធកម្ពុជានោះទេមានតែដើរញុះញង់
ឲ្យខ្មែរនៅក្រៅប្រទេសទាស់ទែងខ្វែងគំនិត្យជាមួយ
ខ្មែរនៅក្នុងស្រុកនេះសបញ្ឃាក់ថាពិតជាក្បត់ជាតិមែន
ដួច្នេះខ្មែរទាំងឡាយមិនត្រូវចាញ់បោកពួកអាអគតិ
ទាំងនោះទេ។
I'm looking to the future when a lion will lay down with a lamb. The figure is there and reality will surely come. It's not an imagination but reality that will be grasp when the King of all kings and Lords of lords come to establish his Kingdom on this earth. Yeah, imagine a person able to live up to one thousand years old. This is the kingdom the Creator of the Universe has planned. But before that He must deal with the rebellion of man such as John Lennon himself and many others like him. Satan and his demons will be bound for a thousand years; this is call the Peaceable Kingdom. True peace can only come when you destroy the authority attach to chaos. Satan and those who follow him (rebellion) is the cause of chaos. By getting rid of Satan and those who do his bidding will this world know true peace. Jesus (Yeshua) is the Prince of Peace, He will be the One who is able to break all powers and authorities on this earth and bring it under his submission to have the peaceable kingdom John Lennon can only imagine.
Get real folks - Lennon's world is the worst nightmare one can be in. No heaven and no hell. does Lennon really means that Pol Pot will not face judgement for what he did to our country? does he mean that Mother Theresa will not be in heaven? Lennon is one confused man that made a lot of money mouthing some of the most IDIOTIC lyrics ever written for wide-eyed poppycocks.
I'm not sure if caring people like Mother Theresa necessarily seek heaven for the work they do!
As for the absence of hell, knowing that monsters like Pol Pot will be punished there is of no real consolation to his victims either!
A lot of positive things have been achieved that had once been seen as 'unreal' or just 'imagined' concepts, and even laughed off as pipe dreams.
