message to john lennon

by omegapaf

" only love matters...nothing else " - zoe

hey john, it's been a while mate
still living in a transitory state
with an uncertain fate
but giving peace a chance
is better than living in a trance

i used to think, a working class hero was something to be
now i just want my blankie, and something for free

dear john, the modern world would make you angry, but also give you smiles
they named a liverpool airport for you
the ludicrousness of john lennon air miles

aawww john we came so close to instant karma
you with yoko, and me with a lady called farmer

nobody but you told me there would be days like this
watching the wheels go round. hoping for a virginia kiss
another chance to hit, or miss

so many musical fakes, and mistakes
you were the real deal
always keeping it real, and telling me how i should feel

hair. peace. love.
on the wings of a tarnished dove
hope you're raising hell in heaven
you are the only singer, whose songs went up to eleven

now slimy bastards in shiny suits raise a tide against you
but i'm still letting it be, and passing on through.

" this man said it's gruesome, that someone so handsome should care " - this charming man - the smiths

" i would never be a member of a club that would have someone like me as a member " - groucho marx

I am... lovin this, Paul. Excuse me, but I have to go read it again. I'll come back in a few minutes when I've read my favorite saying you put at the end. Oh and - Dear John, please keep an eye on Paul, he's special. Well done, eleven and one. Cheers, my friend. Mary Ann
ps: "If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal". John Lennon.

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set then there would be peace.. One of my favorites along with or wasting time is not a waste of time if you enjoyed it.. John Lennon, a man of peace and God .. You know he believed that God lived in us.. Thank you for reminding me of him Paul.. I love it.. Melly..

    here is my favourite groucho marx story brother. groucho went to a swimming pool with his son, and was told that there were no jews allowed in the pool. so he said " can my son go in up to the waist....he's only half jewish ". without john lennon there could be no punk rock - paul.
