"But our back is to legends and we are coming home."

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
My modest contribution to the cause of World Peace

(No need to thank me. Your awed silence is thanks enough.)

Imagine
there’s no freedom
It’s easy if you try
No place to hide from
Big Brother’s searching eye
Imagine all the people
Living just one way…

Imagine there’s no nations
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to love or stand for
No constitutions too
Imagine all the people
Rocking the boat no more…

You may say I’m a dreamer
I suppose that I might be
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the whole world will think like me

Imagine confiscation
Of private property
We’d all be poor together
Except, of course, for me
Imagine all the people
Doing things my way…

You may say I hate freedom
That I’m against democracy
But it will all be so peaceful
When no one has the right to disagree
