Imagine

No Olympics to watch this morning. Not to wax sentimental, but it is always sad when the games are over. It’s All Good the USA bringing home most gold and most total, but there were other greats. Bolt and his gold. China’s 16 year old Ye Shewin. Uganda’s Stephen Kiprotich. Andy Murray. Egyptian wrestlers misunderstood the time, arrived late and were disqualified, one falling down and breaking into tears.  

There should be games instead of war. The Christmas Truce of 1914 proved it could be so. It’s governments that are evil, not people. Only grandmothers should be eligible for office. And as to waxing sentimental, welcome back, John, we have missed ye.

John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
No need to kill or die for and no religions too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say 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

Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing for the world

You may say 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

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Take my hand and join us
And the world will live, will live as one
