PEACEFUL MAN
(For John)

Twenty five long years
Gone gone gone
Senseless violence
Took away our voice
Peaceful man
You did not deserve the fate
Given you...
But who but you
Could have illustrated best
Even in death
What you preached
In life?
Peaceful man
Your songs go on
You charmed us
Disarmed us
Alarmed us
And when you were gone
A generation weeped
For what we lost
In your passing
Peaceful man
You changed a world
By imagining it to be so
Caused a revolution
By giving it a name
And a number
Brought us together
With rhyming lyrics
And a half cocked smile
Peaceful man
Your music will live forever
Your message will not fade
We gave peace a chance
Because of you
But that cold December night
In New York
No one could give peace back to you
You were taken from us
Far too soon
Looking down
You must be smiling
How ironic your life
How ironic your death
Peaceful man
Gone so long
Twenty five years
Gone gone gone...
