John Lennon
My friend
think about this life.
Think...think...think.
Keep on thinking
and thinking
and thinking
and thinking...
Until you become Aristotle,
or Plato
or Socrates
or Thomas Hobbes
or J. J. Rousseau.
Are you a saddist;
a loner--you have no friends?
Think twice...keep on thinking...
You need a friend:
"What a friend we have in Jesus"
Two good heads are better than one.
That man who shot John Lennon was a loner; he had no friend;
and he killed Lennon;
he killed Lennon...
just imagine...John Lennon...
He killed him...
Just imagine...
Make a friend today
and be happy,
so that you will not kill John Lennon.
Are you a pagan, an atheist, an agnostic?
You need a strong faith in your maker;
you need to align with God
so that you do not kill John Lennon.
How do you find solace in life?
you need a powerful helper,
so that you don't kill John Lennon.
Do you pray at all?
Prayer is the master key;
pray so that you don't John kill Lennon.
Don't kill yourself
because of that problem
that traumatises you.
It could just vanish overnight
just like that.
One day at a time.
Jesus started with prayer
and ended with prayer.
One day at a time.
Pray that you do not
kill John Lennon,
John Lennon.
One day at a time.
Yes, don't kill him.
Have a nice day!
