Imagine V.2026
with deep gratitude to John Lennon and Yoko Ono for their vision,
that has carried me since my childhood.
I am so sad and angry seeing people refused safe passage from one country to another. And I don't mean only the migrants in life-and-death situations, even though their situations are often horrendous and totally unacceptable and I wish them with all my heart to be welcomed to a peaceful place they can settle.
I am also touched by the daily frustrations like a French friend being offered work in England and not being able to get the documents necessary to go in time to accept the job. Grrr!
So I offer my rather clunky update to John and Yoko's Imagine, to try to express my indignation for the displaced ones, and for all of us who wish to move freely without being tracked In our daily activities.
I long for a world where TRUST SETS US FREE !
Imagine there’s no fences
It’s easy if you try
No keys or padlocks
Around us open land
Imagine all the people
Welcoming each other… Aha-ah
Imagine there’s no borders
it isn’t hard to do
No passports or security checks
And no visas, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in trust… You….
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the (first or) only one
I’m sure someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no passwords
I wonder if you can
No insurance or data trackers
Not a single police van
Imagine all the people
Moving freely around the world
You may say I’m a dreamer
But there are tons of us today
We are joining hands and hearts
To shine light in every way
