(To be sung through the nose:)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 isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine there's nothing as important as you, nearly as important as me. Good and evil are constructs, so fighting one and aspiring to the other are pointless. Live your life like a sea slug, never try the air. You're born, you procreate, perhaps depending on which gender you've chosen, and you die. Your life is no more important than the spermatozoon that that swam through its briny deep and conceived you, and less productive, because it (or one of millions of them) found an egg.
Footnote: In a statement released on Mar. 29, after Scalfari's report garnered worldwide attention, the Vatican said:
"The Holy Father Francis recently received the founder of the newspaper La Repubblica in a private meeting on the occasion of Easter, without however giving him any interviews. What is reported by the author in today’s article [in La Repubblica] is the result of his reconstruction, in which the textual words pronounced by the Pope are not quoted. No quotation of the aforementioned article must therefore be considered as a faithful transcription of the words of the Holy Father."
