John Lennon Is Dead Poem by Paul Warren

John Lennon Is Dead

Rating: 5.0


John Lennon is dead
The news was shared
Mark Chapman shot him in New York City
And we lost one of the Beatles such a pity

He shot him five times outside the Dakota Hotel
Used a Charter Arms.38 pistol a point not to dwell
Then he read the Catcher in the Ryehis favourite book in the end
Whilst waiting for the police to respond to show them

He said he was frustrated with Lennon's lifestyle
And was fixated on Holden Caulfield from the novel for a while
So he sits in jail with his infamy
And we wonder why it came to be.

Is this news? I thought this happened clear back in 1980! You're right. There are too many crazy people in the world who do senseless acts like this all the time. Your poem expresses it well and supplies facts not known to most people, Well done.
