IMAGINE PEACE 2012
Yoko Ono Lennon
18 February 2011
Dear Friends,
Today, February 18th, 2011, I am 78.
I know you are asking many questions on Twitter and elsewhere about what I am really like. It’s something I would love to know, too! One day it will suddenly dawn on us …maybe.
The world situation is too urgent for us now to discuss trivial things, like what I eat for breakfast.
We are at a point in human history when we have to wake up and realize that the only people who can save the world are us.
Every hour that goes by without us doing anything about it affects us, and affects the world that we love so much.
In his State of the Union Speech, President Obama said we should do “big things.” Well, we are already doing the biggest thing anybody in the human history could ever hope for.
Together, we are creating a world of Peace, Love and Freedom, all while the negative forces try their hardest to stop us.
With their power, they want to control the whole world. But we will not let them.
That’s big.
The way we are doing it is by being conscious of the “Power of Togetherness.”
The negative forces do not have that. They are an elitist minority, dipping their heads in arrogant madness.
They always play the same game – using violence, changing laws for their convenience, and seducing us with words to get what they want.
They say if we do things their way, we will all be rich. Well, that’s not happening. It never will. Once there is great wealth, they will want to keep it for themselves.
They also use fear tactics, saying the world will be in a great mess if we don’t do it their way. Well, the world is already in a mess. Why? Because we followed them.
It’s Time for Action. It’s Time for Change.
We, the people of the world, are not dumb. We understand what the “Blue Meanies” are trying to do. We just don’t know how to stop it. And wonder if we can at all.
But we can!
We are doing it.
Take a look at this map. Each dot represents millions and millions of people who are all, right now, thinking of Peace: wishing it, voicing it, and hoping that their dream of peace will become a reality.

The map expresses what my husband John Lennon and I envisioned. I know he is smiling, thinking of how little time it took for all of us to Come Together.
IMAGINE PEACE is a powerful, universal mantra that we should all meditate on.
With it, we will achieve the impossible. Hopefully, without bloodshed.
Look at all the courageous people who are now being hurt in marches and thrown in prisons for no other reason except for carrying “Peace, Love and Freedom” in their hearts and voicing it.
I don’t want you to get hurt. You shouldn’t have to.
7 billion of us, people of the world, have the birthright to live with a healthy mind and body at all times.
You should not even get one scratch on you, and you won’t, if you don’t allow it.
So keep IMAGINE PEACE in your head.
Have a clear picture of where we stand, what we are doing, and where we want to be.
Know that we are connected in our hearts and minds.
War Is Over, if you want it!
I love you!

Yoko, may I full heartily work with you to again re-create Cut Piece? It would mean so much to me. Cynthia
John did not die in vain, peace is possible.
Dear Yoko…. from another New Yorker… together as ONE we bring life, love, happiness to the world. Thank you and John for so very, very much……..love…………..
i wish someone would print that poster for christmas (war is over if you want it)
it is as important as ever.
but i am not sure the gov wants that kind of complot against them
Dear Yoko, more than talking: acting, doing something and creating art. You are the future, musically from Toronto to caring and loving with John. You bring peace all over the world. You’re inspiring, wonderful & beautiful!
Yoko, looks like we are all have the same feeling that world peace is near and that it is up to us. I hope you will support my DeclareWorldPeaceDay (.com) initiative. I picked June 17 because it is nine months after the conception of OWS. June 17, would therefore be the official birthday of the movement. I had a vision of OWS in 1984 and again a few month before before “conception day” of Sept. 17, 2011. I hope OWS (and everyone) can see their way to celebrating this day with me. I will be in the park that day, with a sign that says “I declare world peace”. How about you?
This wonderful text should be posted again in this new year. It’s very important to read it again Things haven’t changed that much from 2011.The “blue meanies” are apparently deaf to all the “Occupy” movements through the whole wide world, but in fact they have started their own moves changing laws and making little by little deep cuts in welfare state and people’s rights.
