George Seal Poet Villanelle

Assassination U S A

Was Lennon's death a nations shame?
   The question is, why did he die?
   Psychotic dreams were thought to blame.

   His stance on peace, did fan the flame.
   The assassin said that John did lie.
   Was Lennon's death a nations shame?

   Mark shot him down, then seeking fame,
   He read 'The Catcher in the Rye'.
   Psychotic dreams were thought to blame.

   New York had staged it's 'national game'.
   Conspiracy was a theory, 'why'
   Was Lennon's death a nations shame?

   With rumours rife, some gave a name,
   As coded transcripts did imply.
   Psychotic dreams were thought to blame.

   By exploitation, did they frame
   A mindless act, whoever by?
   Was Lennon's death a nations shame?
   Psychotic dreams were said to blame.


     I wrote this in march 2014. but i thought it might upset some people.
     If so my apologies to anyone offended
