Namaste and I welcome you to my blog on this Martin Luther King Jr. day. I hope this day finds you warm and well. Today I want to briefly write about individuals that have been assassinated for, basically no other reason than trying to spread the message of peace, love, and fellowship among humans, to the point of attempting to alleviate the suffering of the masses at the hands of the greedy, powerful, and ruthless.
I wish it weren't so, but those that seek to end the wars and end the hatred are sadly often met with more hatred and more violent responses. Dr. King, among others, wished for a peaceful dream where white folks and colored folks could live peacefully, free of hatred and discrimination, judged by the quality of character over color of skin. Imagine a world where everyone gets the same fair shake at the life they deserve.
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
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
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, 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
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Qasim Soleilmani (I only added this person because he was on his way to Iraq to broker a peace deal between Iraq and Iran before his illegal assassination ordered by Donald J. Trump, that has increased hostilities in the middle East and strained American foreign relations with the region; our allies in NATO and United Nations.)
Notorious B.I.G.
And many many more who tried to change the world only to be met with an untimely death at the hands of an assassin.
Rest in peace.
