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.

noncooperation or boycotts, but noncooperation and boycotts are not

The aftermath of nonviolence is the creation of the beloved community,
while the aftermath of violence is tragic bitterness." |
