From the heart of one who loves him:

What do you do
  when your idle is dead?

Jesus was a prostitute

What in what of what Lennon said?

What can you feel when
              your hear aches?

He marched, he loved, put
    himself at the stake

How do you judge your
       saviour's depressions?
Were they what he was or
     merely passing aggressions?
What do you think of the
      leather bound book?
Random thoughts splattered from
   inside -- fancy a look?

Can you be judged by what your
     diary said?
Depression, anger, welling,
     wishing for dead?
OR should you be judged by your
   feet, your voice, your public thought
Judged by the ones you salvaged,
    lead me to a place i didn't know i sought

Beautiful man, beautiful struggle, so
    sad in that strife
John, i love you always and always
      
         i owe you my life

i'm not very good at rhyme, but i wrote this after i first heard of the new John Lennon book coming out supposedly based on his diaries. Quite upsetting...

Dharma, you can just click on that little box above your poem and fix the title. You can also do that to any of your replies. We all make mistakes...... So is lennon your last name or just a tribute. When John Lennon died I was one of about 5 thousand that went to the square infront of city hall and we all sang give piece a chance. It was very upsetting for me too. Welcome to our site.
