Sad Passing

Personal tribute to John Lennon...

 

Murder. Assassination.

December 8, 1980.

Why?

I wondered.

Why did it have

to be him?

A peaceful man,

a passivist.

Happy in his life,

no longer crying for revolution.

A man of substance.

A true man.

Tell me why he died.

Oh, Lennon,

you were so good.

Truthful and blunt.

The best way to be.

Remember this,

I can see.

And I know

you wouldn't give a piss.
