"Imagine" by John Lennon

The "imagined" world which John Lennon depicted seems to be simple with lacking a lot of important things that people seem to be crazy with. Everyone wants peace and happiness in his or her utopian world, and the writer does as well. He pointed out the evil forces that have pushed people into wars and competitions. Our world will be better if people do not bad things to others because of their religion conflicts, their country conflicts, their possession conflicts. Everyone will have equal life with basic needs if people are not greedy for themselves. And no one has to die because of hunger if we are willing to share everything we possess. I like the idea of no countries, no possessions, no greediness, and no hunger, (maybe no religion), but It is hard to understand why the writer eliminates heaven which gives us a soothing feeling.
