What if - My Tribute to John Lennon

What if

We lived in a world without war

Where there was no bloodshed

No fighting, near or far

What if

There we lived in a world with no hunger

All got what they needed

And we never ceased to be younger

What if

Every child grew up to be a hundred

Kept a smile on his face forever

And could see generations ahead

What if

There was no greed

No desire for more than is meant to be

Maybe then, the world wouldn’t bleed

Dear brothers and sisters

It’s within our reach

Let’s put down our swords

And, peace preach

The Generation of Tomorrow

Oh mother, we have let you down
Disowned you, let you frown
We cut up your hair to build our homes
Gardens, and useless catacombs

We kill each other in front of your eyes
The blood, it comes up to our thighs
We destroy each other with big loud blasts
The effects of which will forever last

Lies your fate, in the hands of pollution
Your grand child, leader of your execution
Born of the mistakes we committed
Born with a gun, in his hand fitted

Dear mother, cast away your sorrow
For here are the generation of tomorrow
To kill your grandchild, re-kindle your life’s light
The generation that will make future bright
