peace & freedom










Graffitied wall decoration, the John Lennon wall in Prague.

Peace and freedom. In the days to come we'll need to remember that peace and freedom is what we want.

People all the world over are longing for peace and freedom, craving it, starving for it, At the same time there are powerful evil forces loose in the world, institutions that have fortunes staked on rupturing the peace and suppressing freedom.

I don't know what the solution is, but I do know that the answer to violence is not to oppose it with more violence, just as an adequate response to hatred can't be hateful.

From Wisconsin to Waziristan, we all want the same thing. It's really simple, but getting it is not, as that will involve a lot of imagination and creativity. John Lennon knew this.
