#johnlennon poems on Hello Poetry

all that's changed in nyc
since he begged for a chance
that plea for peace
the power he gave the people
twenty years to be free,

is a body on the sidewalk
with a bullet in it's back
and six miles down the hudson
a space
where two buildings once sat.

John Lennon

Sometimes, the people
With the greatest ideals
Fail to live up to them

Because he was mean
And cruel
And by most accounts

A ****

But he knew that love
Was important enough
That he should learn how to do it

John Lennon is a personal hero of mine, but he had his own demons, as we all do

Cynthia, RIP

Cynthia's gone
Across this universe.
And, if there is a heaven,
She'll never have
To deal with Lennon.
He called her Cyn,
A name with
Quite a homonym
For deeds that once
Defined him,
Before he was
A man.

Lennon

Dear John,
You have kept her alive,
The love of my life.
I could never show what
Gratitude I have
Other than giving you thanks
On this day.
She is my love,
My darling sweet girl.
And you did my job
Before I even came around.
Thank you for keeping her here,
Because if she was not,
Where would I be?
Who would I be?

Thank you and happy birthday, John.

It's your birthdayyyy Johnny boy! Thank you for keeping my sweet girl here, she is such a blessing <3
