POETRY | By Patricia A McGoldrick
It was forty years ago that
John and Yoko hunkered down in Montréal and
I wondered to myself
What would he say
If John Lennon had lived until today
Imagine
Yes, yes, if you could
If he had lived to see
The towers fall away
Or another war being fought so far away
By young soldiers
American and not American
And John would sing
Give peace a chance
My sisters and brothers
All we are saying is…
Give peace a chance.
