Your Words Are ImmortalA Poem by MaryPMy humble dedication to, in my opinion, one of the greatest men who ever lived.The words of a dead man Float through the air And find shelter inside my head Stories of love and reconciliation Words of peace and despair
Although the man No longer had life He lived on He conquered death For his work never died
His words continue to inspire His words change lives and bring peace He changed a generation He taught youths how to think He showed that having an opinion Was worth any risk
He paid the true sacrifice For speaking all his thoughts But dead man, know that Your words of wisdom, Your humour and thoughts of peace Continue to be taught
So whether you burn in hell Or preside in Heaven You will always be remembered As a legend among legends A unique gift to the world Or more simply as A crazy man from Liverpool Named John Lennon © 2010 MaryPAuthor's Note
