Dear John

Dear John

A Poem by Kelly Scheppers

...in memory of John Lennon

Dear John

 

Thirty six years to the day

it has been,

and still

we can only

imagine

no hell below us

nothing to kill or die for

no need for greed or hunger

a brotherhood of man.

I am sorry to say I believe we will always be imagining. Yes, 36 years ago...such a waste of a talented young life. His thoughts, his words, his music will live on. Beautiful tribute, Kelly. Lydi**

Deranged fan killed a great man of music and wit.I wonder of his music he would have had out in the 36 years passed. As always a true poet's write Kelly.

I often think about that myself, Andrew. Merry Christmas, my friend!
Such a senseless act of cowardice from a supposed fan. John was always the Beatle I favoured, a truly
gifted man with many flaws, like so many of us. (maybe not the gifted part) :) I always liked his self-portrait, a good choice. A good tribute, Kelly. Well done
