(A line taken from the song, IMAGINE)
The underlying message of the song is peace among nations.
It suggests a universal brotherhood of all people with no reason to dislike one another.
There is a current trend underway with democracies becoming dictatorships.
There are also some nations threatening their neighboring nations militarily.
Some 75 million people died in World War II.
Unfortunately, the weaponry today is much more lethal than those used in 1940 to 1945.
Still, some of us dislike people who profess a religion different than theirs.
Then there is the ongoing dislike of people in various ethnic groups or of different colors.
Another line in the song says, “Imagine there is no greed or hunger.”
The writer of the song admits that he is a dreamer.
But, you and I can make this world a better place simply by how we treat loved ones, friends and even strangers who may be different than ourselves.
If not today, when?
