Analysis of imagine



imagine that you could
see into the future
what it has instore for you
imagine that the oceans
were grey instead of blue
imagine that the the birds
no longer sing their songs
imagine that all the trees
have all long since gone
imagine all the meadows
lifeless silent and bare
imagine all of this
yet no one seems to care
