It means "GIVE US PEACE"
Today is Blog Blast for Peace day all over the Internet. Bloggers everywhere are posting their personalized PEACE GLOBE. Go to Mimi Writes if you want a globe to participate in this exciting day.
I thought I'd post the lyrics for John Lennon's masterpiece "Imagine" in honor of the day:
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...
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
In 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 some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one.
This is also my post for Wordless Wednesday. Other Wordless Wednesday participants are here.

True words for an idealist. Peace to you and yours on this Blog Blast Day.
Peace and Love ! that was our slogan already more than 30 years ago and so few things have changed ever since. Isn't that sad ??
Very nice presentation, Mary. I hadn't heard that song in such a long time.

Very awesome Mary! Happy Peace day to you!! :D
I love your peace post and great song for the day. Dona Nobis Pacem.
Very good dear Teach. Time is running out.
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Ps. 34:14
Thats a very nice thought. It would be wonderful if it came true
Lovely idea for your post today! I love this song too and think the lyric is amazing. I posted my 1st Blog Blast a few minutes ago at Sacred Ruminations … noticed your name in the Mr. Linky as I left mine and thought I’d stop by before I begin work on my 2nd Blog Blast at Small Reflections. It’ll be up in a little while. I’ve got my 2nd globe finished but haven’t yet written the post.
Hugs and blessings,
Such a moving song. It honestly gives me shivers each time I hear it.
Peace.
This video is remarkably simple and breathtakingly beautiful. John Lennon is one of the giants whom I look up to in so many ways, not least of all his status as a true revolutionary.
Peace to you on this hopeful day, Mary.
One nice thing about the idealist is that they can always "Imagine".
"Words have power ... If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little."
Tom Stoppard
May we all say together: PEACE
I used a song, too. :o)
Have a peaceful day and let love rule, teach! :o)
Teach Peace my friend, and my you find peace in your lifetime, I would love to see peace in my lifetime, they better hurry up.
Hey Mary! Thank you for the Lennon song! It is one of my favorites.
I listen to the oldie station (60s 70's) here and the classic rock one. "Imagine" comes on both a lot anyway, I am supposing hourly today.
..
Love your peace globe and words. That song is simply beautiful!!
Peace, love and blogs...!!
this is a very appropriate song to promote peace... nice choice!
Peace be with you and yours, Mary.
Beautiful. Peace to you too my friend.
Classic-- I do love that song -- Are you peaceful today? I wonder if we all need to feel peace today as our contribution ---or feel the urge to act --and get the word out--- can we do both?
Beautiful! I love that song... I wish we could put as much energy into peace in this world as we do into hate and greed. Seems to me that peace should be the easy path.
I think that song will be getting a lot of airtime today. What a great message it contains.
It's easy if we try...
With Love, we can have Peace.
Dona Nobis Pacem
beautiful peace post...

I vividly remember when John Lennon's "Imagine" came out - I was still in highschool ... great post. Peace: much needed.
