I know I should speak my mind, but the truth is whats going on feels like mental suicide.

Im just out of it.

Into a new world.

I imagine if there is no war, no violence just imagine silence.

No man nor woman on the sidewalk with a cardboard box that says "FREE HUGS" becauase they already got thiers.

Praying for the savior to come but expecting another day in a slum.

This isn't just for the people only knowing drugs and champagne.

Try every person reading this, you need to realise this isnt a game.

Fascinated by the bright lights, while fights are dropped on a daily.

When you ask if they remember that homeless man, they say "only vagely".

haven't you read the you tube comments lately?

No need to play the blame game.

Just realise if you want to make a real difference becom united not divided.

that when those imaginations become somehow, someway but not quite possible.

Because as nice as it would be to have a silent world, ... just for moment ... what makes a world, a world when there is no noise?


The author's comments:

The song "Imagine" by John Lennon inspired me to write this piece.

It made me realise no matter how much we try to make this world perfect, it never will be. As it is the setbacks that makes us stronger.

causing to get a tad closer to perfection, then we mess it up again [as uasual]

I hope I have made you look at life in way that makes you not make the same mistakes all over again. That way we can only take less steps backwards and only grow.
