Then I realized the problem is I am told what to think, I told what to see. I see a
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 that 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
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 that 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
Everything here sounds so simple; still we call it a dream. But, we so willing believe that a civilian on the other side of the border is an enemy? We believe it when Modi blames Muslims for all social ills. We believe our caste, race, religion is superior then the others!

This song by John Lennon called "Imagine" very strongly inspired by Thomas More's Utopia which describes a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean, possessing a seemingly perfect socio-politico-legal system.
Jonathan Swift pokes fun at the book or rather Thomas More's utopian ideology in his famous novel " gulliver's Travels Part 4 called "A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms"
Thats soooo interesting! I haven't read those books, but will try to find a copy ASAP!
