Summary: A reply to his song "Imagine"




I'm deeply sorry John
It was never meant to be
This imaginary World
You created for you and me

They still think there's a heaven
But hell on Earth is the reality
You imagined all the people
Just living for the day
Sorry John this cannot be
For there is no equality

You imagine there's no countries
With no religion too
But let me tell you John
We are plagued by both these two

Greed and hunger are both with us
It never went away
Millions have died in Africa
Since this song you sang

We never had a brotherhood
But we have the greedy man
Who kills and plunders all he sees
In other's troubled lands

You said that you were dreaming
Of a world you would like to see
But I'm really sorry to tell you this
It was all just a FANTASY
