The Day John Lennon Was Murdered

Remembering an icon whose life was stolen

December 8, 1980

The day John Lennon was shot and killed .

I watched the documentary

murder without a trial,

and I’m reminded once again of the

R A N D O M N E S S

of life.

Had John and Yoko driven into

their compound that day.

Had the security guard, who noticed

T H E M U R D E R E R

told him to move on

Had the friend — who often travelled

home with them — been there

A different story could’ve been written

But, no — the reality is

John Lennon was shot that day

For no reason, other than

J E A L O U S Y & E N V Y

Watch the documentary if you can
