In spring 1963, Yoko Ono wrote the haiku-like poem Cloud Piece, later included in the collection Grapefruit. This was to prove the inspiration for Lennon's 1971 song 'Imagine'', the title song for his album, and which became the anthem for the movement later. The lyrics of the song intimated a utopia where there were no countries, war or religion, a message he expressed on 1st April 1973 in the form of the imaginary country of Nutopia': The Country Of Peace, whose aim was to subvert the concepts of nationality and territory. Taking the white theme of the album cover, he adopted a plain white rectangle as the "flag". Little else was made of the notion publicly until Live Aid.
