Imagine

Imagine a world, where people can't eat,
imagine a world with homeless in the streets,
imagine a world without electricity,
imagine a world being bombed incessantly.

Imagine a world with babies born deformed,
imagine a world with women raped and torn,
imagine a world with no eleven o'clock news,
imagine people killing, just for food.

Imagine a world with no loving affection,
imagine a world with no medical attention,
imagine people being poisoned with intention,
imagine people recklessly put into detention.

Imagine a world where torture is condoned,
imagine if criminals didn't have to cast stones,
imagine governments being illegally overthrown,
imagine a world where greed is overgrown.

Imagine it being ok to murder innocent civilians,
imagine a world that is entirely frivilous,
imagine being bombed with depleted uranium,
imagine everybody having brainwashed craniums.

Imagine people in solitary for more than a year,
imagine entire races having to live in fear,
imagine people poisoned with toxic chemicals,
imagine the poisonings being intentional.

Imagine all of this is happening now,
imagine this horror, coming to your town,
imagine pretending there's nothing you can do,
wake the fuck up! This is happening to you!

Be part of the solution, not the problem.
If you ever say you can't, you won't.
