War Is Over
Senryu's

Twenty One I cried
Decembers cold night I sang
A voice of his light

Today is Christmas
Snow flakes remind of that night
Crystallized peace signs

And War Is Over
And the words live on, although
John Lennon is dead

James Parker Haley Dec 25, 2000.

Very well written Parker! I wish it was true and I wish that genius was still alive. He was worth so much to the world while he was existing...take care!!

"all we are saying ... is give Peace a chance"

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
imane all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one...

Written by: John Lennon


Merry Christmas P-man  



Some people find subtlety in strangers
if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know

Yes, lives can be erased...but words live on forever.

For that reason we write...and John Lennon sang.

I wish you a merry Christmas, Parker.
