as a way to wrap up what I had to say earlier...
i heard this song this evening that i thought it might be important to for us to take a good look at the words and soak them in.
they are not my words nor would i ever claim them to be they are words that should resonate in all of us everyday.
its important to remember that we are only people all made from the same thing and when we knock someone down based on the color of their skin, their sex, their religion, their beliefs, their disabilities, their socioeconmonic status, their sexual preferences we are knocking down a brother or sister in humanity. we know nothing of their story of their hardships and troubles or loves and hobbies. we are more alike than we realize - we are human and made from the same things.
so please take with you these words...
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 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
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 may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
i hope someday you'll join us
and the world will live as one
-john lennon
with these words in my heart i will never stop fighting for equality.
happy reading.
Amen, sister...
