John Winston Ono Lennon
9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980

I follow him down to a bridge by a fountain
where he sails riverboat with Lady of Shalott
so John Lennon takes me to strawberry fields
where Lucy brings diamonds of sparkling eyes
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

John is born while Balder bombs London town
so Merlin hides him under bed in box of Moses
then Oberon steals him from arms of Titania
and teaches him how to dance on rainbow bridge
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

When Merlin gives John old sword Excalibur
he forges hate into twanging electric guitar
then dances over hills among bright flowers
where Rapunzel sings locked in an iron tower
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

John walks Abbey Road to Strawberry Fields
driving away from Penny Lane at midnight
and sits meditating with laughing fool on a hill
as nowhere man types lyrics on a turtle shell
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

John leaves Rapunzel weeping in a glass tower
and rolls stone away from cavern of dreams
then dances with Amaterasu on ocean beach
singing imagine peace and harmony on earth
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

King John rides proud on roaring gold lion
shooting arrows at red dragon of oppression
and rescues Lady Liberty from prison of greed
so she holds high flickering flame of freedom
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

John flies airplane west from Island of Avalon
to scatter apple seeds Manhattan to Oregon
leading ten thousand children across Zarathi
who dance singing with flowers in their long hair
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

His sons with Rapunzel and Amaterasu sing
following his trail over Bifrost rainbow bridge
where John hangs alone nine days and nights
in Yggdrasil painting visions with runes in a well
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

John battles Voldemort and blue meanie gang
clashing in titanic battle of musical chairs
after walrus transforms into carpenter king
but is crucified on telephone pole of hope
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

Gripping sword of Arthur and a crystal ball
John descends to Hell with his Argonauts
and battles with shepherd emperor of zombies
to free young girls screaming for true love
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

Retrieving Holy Grail from cavern of demons
John ascends stairway to heaven on earth
and teaches his son how to strum sacred harp
chanting magic spells to free hearts of girls
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

Apostle Mark leaps from shadows of despair
after Darth Vader steals crown of King Arthur
and fires bullets into heart of singing wizard
so John falls bleeding by door of glass eyes
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

Father McCartney wiping dirt from his hands
as he walks from his grave in Westminster sighs
and gives strawberry ice cream to everyone
who rattles their jewelry and mourns Tammuz
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

Amaterasu rolls stone away from cave of hope
and John emerges resurrected from his tomb
and ascends to heaven on silver angel wings
gazing down at people of earth suffering war
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.

Look up into eyes of unconquerable sun god
and you will see spirit of John Lennon shine
illuminating way of life to heaven on earth
we create when we treat everyone with love
when Apollo slays Python in cathedral of dreams.
