"American Exceptionalism" will kill us all

IMAGINE
John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

A few years ago, the choir I sing with did a popup choir at a large shopping mall and performed this song along with anyone else who wanted to join in. It was one of my favorite performances. Don’t mind the Christmas decorations, it was in December.

For anyone curious, you’ll find me in the front row, wearing a black jacket and red scarf, between two African-American men. I’m in my happy place between my two musical soulmates, Tony and Mike.[link:
