Imagine

Imagine the world is a village. Imagine it is at peace. And now imagine that night is falling over the houses and the streetlamps come on. Imagine it in detail. Behind their windows, the people are eating their bread and drinking their tea. And the children are reading in bed peacefully before their father gives them a kiss and their mother turns out the light. Now imagine that a shadow is creeping across the deserted village square. And in the greenhouse, the plants are growing menacingly – and on the altar lies an ominous book of holy writings. And in the shop, as if from nowhere, a product falls off the shelf. And then a strange singing can be heard in the sky. Imagine it in detail – like a rip in the firmament. Imagine it bringing the people out of their beds and them all looking up at the sky together. And feeling their hearts beat right up in their necks, they wonder what is approaching. An angel? A drone? A deadly rocket that will burn and destroy everything? We are at the beginning of a great story. There is no fatherland, and no reason for murder or war. And everyone lives only in the here and now. Imagine that. It’s easy if you try. Welcome to IMAGINE.
