Sorry John Lennon

(Reply to his song “Imagine”)

I’m deeply sorry John

It was never meant to be

This imaginary world

You made for you and me

They still think there’s a heaven

But hell on earth, is the true reality

You imagined

All the people

Living for the day

Sorry John this cannot be

There is no equality

You imagine

There are no countries

No religion too

Let me tell you John

We are plagued

By both these two

Greed and hunger

Is still with us

It never went away

Millions have died

In Africa since

This song you made

We never had a brotherhood

But we have the greedy man

Who kills and plunders

All he sees, in other troubled lands

You said that you were dreaming

Of a world you’d like to see

But I’m really sorry to tell you John

This was just a FANTASY

Peter Wicks, with deep respect for John Lennon
