Poem
John Lennon, tragically shot dead 1980, 8th of December If you were a fan of his I`m sure you would REMEMBER Was Mark Chapman playing MIND GAMES, is that why? Or perhaps plain and simply he was just A JEALOUS GUY John hated war and wanted us all to GIVE PEACE A CHANCE Was that murdering bastard on drugs or perhaps in a trance IMAGINE If the whole world held hands, you would have to agree Thats all he ever wanted, he asked us all, PLEASE STAND BY ME His friendship with the Beatles was just STARTING OVER again A HAPPY XMAS coz to George, Paul and Ringo he was a fri But his face certainly became famous, the boy from Liverpool Do you think that John Lennon lived on BORROWED TIME Was his time up when Chapman committed that terrible crime? HOW DO YOU SLEEP Mr Chapman, does it come to you easily? How does his family feel after he said "GROW OLD WITH ME" The world moves on I guess as we are WATCHING THE WHEELS Tell me Mr Chapman are you happy, please tell me how it feels If it were POWER TO THE PEOPLE, then most of the population Would have had you strung up, not locked up safe in ISOLATION How could you do it? all the world was unfortunately denied Like me, lots of others felt as if they were CRIPPLED INSIDE NOW AND THEN I still REMEMBER his music and verse I think about his murder, to me there is nothing worse John may have found peace at last, you mark my word I believe he is up there somewhere as FREE AS A BIRD
