Imagine, a Dream!

Prompt: Dreams have no expiration date. Do you agree with this statement?

==============

I can’t say I agree or disagree because this depends on the dream. Some dreams are nightmares. Some dreams are brain trash. Some dreams are futuristic.

Of the futuristic dreams, those that target goals and wishes may not have expiration dates. Yet, those dreams that have been fulfilled or those that were impossible to fulfill are no longer in use; thus, they could be considered as expired dreams.

As for me, I like doing, not dreaming. I am hard and realistic that way, so different from those who walk around with their heads in the clouds. I might have been a dreamer like them in my late teens and possibly early twenties, but sometime soon life took over and cured me.

Although I like John Lennon’s song Imagine a lot, I know it is only wishful thinking. At this point, my only dreams center around keeping the status quo with no harm and I strongly wish for a world peace.

I guess World Peace is a dream or a wish, and chances are it will have no expiration date since it seems as if it will stay a dream till the end of time.

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... Aha-ah...

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...

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...

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
