Imagine ... Peace
All We Are Saying Is "Give Peace a Chance"
John Lennon and Yoko Ono campaigned for peace and human rights, using art as the medium to communicate their message. John's lyrics (poetry) often included peace messages:
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
No need to kill or die for and no religions, too
Imagine all the people living life in peace ...
Imagine was recorded and performed live numerous times, as was another famous Lennon anti-war song, Give Peace a Chance.

My saved peace links on Del.icio.us
Peace is a universal theme and songs, posters, cards, buttons, stickers and clothing that carry the message of peace abound. Here are a few of my saved peace pages.
The "Peace Sign"
Peace Symbols and Icons
Symbols of peace abound in world cultures. Peace symbols are universal glyphs and images - peace icons - made easily recognizable through the peace movement or pop culture. Many different symbols for peace are recognized around the world. The most familiar universal peace irons are a dove, an olive branch, a broken weapon and the graphic used originally by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament ("the round peace symbol").
Although 40 years have passed since the 1969 peace march on Washington, DC the peace symbol remains a popular icon in world cultures. The round graphic and the fingers displayed in a "V" shape have the same meaning no matter what the language.
The most well known peace symbol from the 1960s has become pop culture favorite that remains a favorite in the 21st century.
