Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Imagine

In nineteen eighty on
December eighth
Who could imagine
John Lennon
Aged only forty
The peace activist
Famous for bed-in
"Give Peace a Chance" 
And criticism of the Vietnam War 
Brutally assassinated
In front of his Manhattan home
Shot in the back 
Who could imagine

His life nothing but 
A legacy of peace and love 
Who could imagine
Who could imagine

M. L. Kiser October 14, 2018 at 12:28 PM It had the same effect on me as Elvis's death; I couldn't believe it at first. They do say,"The good die young"; I'm beginning to believe it. Well penned.
