Thoughts of Pearl Harbor and Peace

Thoughts of Pearl Harbor and Peace
At the age of 2, I was too young to remember The bombing of Pearl Harbor, the December 7th event that propelled us into the 2nd world war, 64 years ago. I do remember the war years however,and the rationing and the suffering by Americans and Europeans. December 8th was the day John Lennon, the great Beatle songwriter was murdered. I pause on this day, December 9th, to pay tribute to the Americans who died and to this songwriter who was assasinated. His song "Imagine" is a fitting tribute to peace loving people everywhere.

Imagine

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 isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
