Imagine......
Please bear with me. I am posting this in GD for reasons that should be obvious when you consider the lyrics. Thank you all.

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 isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
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 Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

4. Did John Lennon actually do anything for the poor?
I'm asking because I have no idea at all of how charitable a person he was. It's one of his better songs, but actions speak louder than words.

I know the MD who pronounced him dead. He thought he was imagining things until he saw 2 NYPD officers propping up Yoko Ono in the waiting room.

9. Charity concerts, donations, heavily involved in the anti war movement
And of course, he helped to shape public opinion and values regarding war and poverty.
