Develop contests or curricula that engage students on the value of water and encourages them to share what a day without water would mean to them.

The abolition of hostile nation states competing for limited resources and markets that is the cause of all wars is one of the most basic tenants of Marxism (highlighting the fact that individual states such as China and Russia cannot possibly be Socialist/Communist as they fail this basic criterion.) Modest Mouse from Provo, UtI only wish that one day the song could be renamed from "Imagine" to reality. That one day we will all reach out to one another and know that we aren't here alone. There are billions of people in this world. why can't we all just help one another out? Why can't we just live in peace. I only wish that the world could see itself through the eyes of John Lennon. A legend forever in my eyes.Korina from Stanton, MiI love this song dearly and it has a lot of meaning to me(strip the world and all human beings of religion, government, money, greed, etc. and we are all equals trying to create life within mother nature) but according to Geoffery Givlian in his book, 'Lennon in America', John Lennon said, "Imagine was an anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-conventional, anti-capitalistic song, but because it is sugar coated, it's accepted." Poverty and diseases persists despite the tremendous growth in the size of our economy. Garbage, waste and pollution, literally are the by-product our world economy excrete to the air, to the water, to the soil, and to other life on earth. Religions, nation states and the economy merely are tools . . . . . means. We should never become a tool of our tools. We should never mistake the means from the end. The means should never and can never become the end. Eddie from Rome, GaNever have understood why this song's considered one of Lennon's best. The melody's very pleasant, but the lyrics are vague & elementary; the sentiment of the song is fine, but by 1971 so many different artists had expresed this same sort of message that it lost much of its originality. With this song Lennon followed the crowd rather than lead it.

[1] Jimeeb from London, CanadaThe only reason the world has religion is because at one time, long ago, mankind imagined... the only reason mankind has possessions is because at one time, long ago, mankind imagined... the only reason the world has countries is because at one time, long ago, mankind imagined... is the message: Be careful what you imagine.

It is best to take a picture of the art against a contrasting, flat, one colored surface as straight on as possible. Viktor from Palm Beach, FlI think the message of this song is simple: peace is good and love is good. I agree that "no religion" is a bit extreme but if people were completely perfect, religion would not be needed and this song is about imagining a perfect world.Ali from Tripoli, Libyan Arab JamahiriyaIf there is no heaven, no hell and no religion....Had there been in the heavens and earth gods besides the Lord of the universe, then verily both would have been ruined. Hannibal from Richmond, VaIt's funny how atheists call John Lennon a God... Anyways, the song has more to do with utopian socialism then anything else. Brandon from Philadelphia, PaGreat song, it's one of my favorites. But one thing I'm not too sure about is why everyone blames Yoko for the Beatles disbanding. Sure she was a factor in it, but not as big a factor as everyone keeps saying. The Bealtes were coming apart gradually anyway. You can tell by their albums and how each Beatle was becoming more and more independent. Maybe not George and Ringo as much as John and Paul. Also, Yoko made John happy, I don't see what's wrong with that. "All great things must come to an end." Cassy from Atlantis, BotswanaReading through these comments, seeing the beliefs of others and how peace is way too far-fetch, makes me realize why our world is so messed up.

Oliver from NowhereImagine there's no money sung the multimillionare from his penthouse suite in New York, whilst at the very same time 2.2 billion of the world's 3.7 billion people lived in conditions of extreme poverty. Syed from Lakewood, CaImagine a world without this song? The pure genius of Lennon, the simplicity of the songwriting and the timeless nature of the melody. This song is without question the finest piece of music art ever constructed and recorded. Imagine if he were still around today what other joy and artistry he would have brought to the world. Imagine ....Wuss from Perth, AustraliaThis song was written about imagining the world without discrimination. He describes in each verse what the world would be like without things like heaven, hell, countries, religion, possessions and rich or poor. He does this to express his opinion of a perfect world or utopia, in which all humans form one brotherhood of man. Lennon describes the people living in this perfect world do four things; these are the last line of each verse, ?living for today?, ?living life in peace?, ?living as one? and ?sharing all the world?. Lennon realises some peoples reactions to this song would be that it is ?just another hippy anthem? so he counters this with the chorus ?You may say I?m a dreamer, but I?m not the only one, I hope someday you?ll join us, and the world will be as one?. By saying this Lennon is expressing tho the reader that this idealistic view of the world is shared by many people, and the more people that believe this the closer it will come to being realistic. Bart from Westmont, NjJohn's best solo work and it ranks up there with "Strawberry Fields" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" in the top level of Lennon songs. Such a great melody and the lyrics, WOW! Just listen to what he is saying, all of us would be so much better off if we lived in peace and harmony with each other, OK, I know I'm a dreamer too but what has caused most of our wars and conflicts, super nationalism, religion and greed. As we approach the anniversary of the death of one of the greatest men of the 20th century let us contine to live by his words in this magnificant song. I cannot understand Thomson's choice to keep the smaller words in her poetry, unless it is to help younger readers understand what the text is saying in a grammatical way... except it isn't the point of poetry to teach those concepts, but to invoke feelings and wonder in the reader. Galda, Cullen and Sipe says, “Poetry is intense, an intricate combination of the sounds, meanings, and arrangement of words to call attention to something in a fresh, compelling manner.” (139). However, sometimes she uses great alliterations such as “cut and stitch a city from the starry sky” which uses the “S,” “T,” and “St” sounds repetitively. Her metaphors and similes make sense and can be understood by younger readers (“wheels grow wings”) which is very important when it comes to poetry for younger ages because if the metaphors are way too complicated, the author risks losing their audience's attention and understanding of what they've written. Ekristheh from Halath, United StatesYoko's costume in the Imagine video is not meant to be Native American (and "squaw" is a derogatory term). She is wearing traditional Ancient Egyptian attire. She had Egyptian motifs in their homes, too.

Lies are best believed when you mix a little truth into them. Lennon’s mixing of truth and non truth at first appearance gives some credence to his song Imagine. Jay from Atlanta, GaThis song is communist propaganda. Lennon didn't even believe the words himselg. "Imagine no possessions" as he rides around in that huge white mercedes. Wake up! The music soothes and gives me peace in my heart. I don't have to deny God, become Communist, or beat people over the head and judge them. John Lennon was inspiring people to dream and be at peace within themselves. Not everyone will dream or imagine a straight line, or believe that hating people because their religion or political view is different--will give them peace in their heart. It's okay to dream or imagine zig-zags, circles, curves, and triangles. Everyone is free to dream and imagine what they want. You don't have to be Communist or Atheistic for listening to this song. This song is not about religion or politics. It's about DREAMING. (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠) Josh from Cincinnati, OhThe song starts off on a C chord..so does about every other song ever. Most basic chord on a piano or guitar.Heather from Los Angeles, CaImagine a world...so boring...you...wouldn't...want....toliveinit.......yoohoooooo..... Then in 1969 they missed by one week; Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" was #1 during the last week of December that year ("Something" was #1 the week before)... Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn June 13th 1975, John Lennon gave his last TV performance when he appeared on the ABC-TV documentary special 'A Salute to Sir Lew Grade'... Chelsea Girl from Cleveland, Oh"Imagine" is a very special song. It's hard for me to review it because it isn't my favorite John Lennon song an yet I believe it's probably, ultimately, his most powerful. This is a unifying song that people all over the world love and sing. Even when I hear those opening chords my mind stops and I get very misty-eyed. It really is a deep song. Absolutely one of the greatest classics ever written by anyone. Gary from Cardiff, United KingdomWar Vietnam John Lennon was now 31 seeing life as a maturing young man. His lyrics on this album on Oh My Love tells you where he is "I see the wind I see the trees everything is clear in my world" He was feeling being alive and as a poet was expressing to us the intimacy of life. Imagine was a wish an aspiration No war no possession no reasons for humans to hate and kill. He had experienced wealth and modest childhood He knew that the answer to why are we here was far greater than having a white Rolls Royce Or House In The Country. Of course he wanted some home comfort but he lived modestly he thought safely in secure accommodation commensurate with his high profile high risk society position. The song coined from Yoko Imagine from her book Grapefruit espoused a world without war weapons and mad men running the world. He knew we needed liberated women to make the world a better place- to effemanise soften male aggression. It is not about atheism bit it is about RELIGION using it as a means to hate not LOVE. He like us wondered what created everything that mattered in all our lives. He did not have the answers just posed the questions. When it came on at the Olympics London 2012 it broke me up tears flooded down my face- somehow that man from Liverpool had become a prophet a saint St.John Of Liverpool he was.
