POEM: "Imagine"

Imagine

                         for John Lennon

Well I wonder if you can

imagine all the people
hungry imagining you
the children who are beaten
imagine the next cruelty
the tears the terrible fears
the million factory stiffs
imagine the mine workers
well I wonder if you can
go underground hear the siren
feel the weight without religion
now imagine you can't move
well I wonder if you can
imagine a world without music
the end of sound and song
of sight and thought and colour
imagine the rocks and walls
the enduring pain and sorrow
imagining all the people
well I wonder if you can
