John Lennon

We listen to old rock-and-roll
under the comeback sun,
my girl and I, and talk of kids,
but oh, where's John?

I watched the game that winter night
the newsman said he's gone:
imagine there's no heaven, oh
then oh, where's John?

I sent my love to Yoko, and
dear Julian and Sean,
but all that they could answer me
was oh, where's John?

I don't know why that man cracked up
or who sold him the gun:
it's you and I who make the laws,
and oh, where's John?

That little war, the English let
the Argentine boys down
into the waves, and who spoke out,
and oh, where's John?

I love the earth, like always, but
it's hard to write a song:
it's not as good as it once was,
and oh, where’s John?

Poetry By Larry Beckett
