A Poem For Patty Cooper Wells On The Death Of John Lennon By Merritt Waldon

 

John, didn't think it you'd ever die

With that heart shielding everything 

About you 


How did that fucker misinterpret such a 

Waste of a novel anyway


Shel Silverstein write better

Sweet John , how is it no one 

Can accept Peace 


When it's their work that kills 

Us
