    Poem Commentary

    well i wrote this as a tribute to John Lennon..may he rest in peace and be with all the greats

    If Only...*

    f only he didn't have a gun...

    If only he didn't have a bullet...

    If only...

    you would still be writing songs for everyone to hear

    if he didn't take that right away from you

    “Give peace a chance”

    you were right that's what we needed

    I give peace a chance

    if not for anyone else for you

    not everyone gives peace a chance

    but a few do that's' what matters

    that's what will bring us a step closer to it

    people may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one

    you are too

    if only other people listened to you

    we would live in a much better place

    In a world of peace.

    *In memory of John Lennon 12/8/1980*

    A very affectionate tribute to a true genius, Sk8er. Now I know who I'm gonna leave my "Double Fantasy" LP to when I die : D

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
