“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, aha./ 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.” John Lennon
I must say these words resonate very strongly with me these days. I am a world citizen, an inhabitant of planet earth. I would like to be able to live where I choose, when I choose without a bunch of rules, regulations and visa requirements put on me. All borders and divisions are artificial control mechanisms put in place to maintain systems of power and oppression. It’s a shame that so many religions are also part of this power and control mechanism lending credence to the state and further dividing people.
Yes. I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday this dream will come true.
Peace,
Steve
