John Lennon Is Dead

John Lennon is dead The news was shared Mark Chapman shot him in New York City And we lost one of the Beatles such a pity He shot him five times outside the Dakota Hotel Used a Charter Arms 38 pistol a point not to dwell Then he read the Catcher in the Rye his favorite book in the end Whilst waiting for the police to respond to show them He said he was frustrated with Lennon’s lifestyle And was fixated on Holden Caulfield from the novel for a while So he sits in jail with his infamy And we wonder why it came to be. © Paul Warren Poetry
