When he was assassinated, me and countless of others of all ages, race and faiths, gathered upon the Dakota Apartment house and sang this. There wasn't any reported crime in NYC during that weekend.

I slowly walk to the snail and put my hand out to accept death itself. After all this time, the snail touches me and I slowly fade away from this universe leaving the snail all alone. Leaving it to be the only living thing in the dying universe.

they say. happy xmas kyoko, happy xmas Julian. Sean wasn't born, so John said his first sons name... kyoko was yokos daughter, idk the details, but something went wrong with kyokos father Tony Cox I believe is his name, he kept her away from yoko...I'm prob not right but it was something like that....hell John acknowledged kyoko as his daughter but he wasn't her father. I remember they went to court so kyoko could have some custody over her daughter....I think she was in bed with John and yoko during the bed in for peace...I'm guessing it was Montreal in 1969.. they did that in another part of the world in Amsterdam Holland..(again I'm prob not 100% on that) recently Sean said his nephew jack?!? well it have to be kyokos child cause Julian don't have kids. so idk who he's talking about.. like the song woman John says in the beginning I'm sure u all know this for the other half of the sky dedicated to yoko....yoko said that quote in a letter for the NYC parole board when MDC was up for parole. he's been denied at least 7 or 8 times...

It's the year without any numbers. It's been so long and so tiring, that I have stopped keeping record of it. I have loved a thousand times and lived a thousand generations. Wealth became pointless towards the end, when time is all I had. I have seen hundreds of my own generations turn to ashes. Everything around me is ceasing to exist in this warm temperature, yet I feel just fine. Everything the human kind tried so hard to keep alive is long gone. I don't know when is the last time I saw a human, I don't even know when is the last time I saw a living thing. The deal was that my best friend and yet my worst enemy will always spawn near me and will forever try to reach me to end this torture for both of us. Yet, it's been hundred of years since I last saw him. Has he forgotten me? Or maybe did not make this long life that I have lived. How could it be? Everything else was right according to the deal, how could the most important thing be wrong? I have been sitting and enjoying the sun come closer and closer to Earth. It's almost as if I can touch it now. I have seen it change colour and I witnessed the horror people were put to due to the warmth. It's as if my humanity has been snatched away. Or it has been killed. I have seen thousands of love of my life pass away and I could not do anything to stop it. I still try to remember the first one. But it's been so long I don't even remember her face or her voice. I don't even know if she really existed or I am just trying to make her up as something nice that made me feel human. I think I see it, my friend. There he is. He was always there. Maybe just tired. Maybe he had things to do as well, just like me. His slow body is trying it's best to make it to me. I reach my hand to him, accepting both of our inevitable fate. It touches me and I feel a sort of comfort, as the temperature around be starts to warm up. I can feel again. Not just the warmth, but also my heart. I can feel alive. This is it. The thing I have tried my best to stay away from, is finally giving me the peace which I seeked. Thank you my friend.

The "Happy Crishtmas Julian" always gets me, he says it with such a sadness in his voice but also with much love. Forgetting the things he did, he loved his son more than everything in this world, even thought he had another kid with Yoko. Yoko also loved her daughter a lot, she suffered when she were separated of her. In the "Happy Christmas Kyoko", you can feel how she missed her... Even John helped her to take her daughter for a day. Despite Yoko was one of the reasons the Beatles separated, John loved her and as The Beatles said, all you need is love. We don't know if without Yoko, John wouldn't have divorced Cynthia but things happen because of something. Thanks if you've read all this, have a great day/night. Peace and Love ✌☮️

I forgot what time it was. It's been so so long. I can't describe how long, but the Solar System is on the verge of death. The Sun went through several pulses in size as it burnt its last fuel reserve, with a heavy iron core killing it from the inside. The Earth, scorched beyond recognition, is the last place I stand on, the last rock where I witness the world dying. I have seen uncountable numbers of families, friends and people across many aeons. I've seen life thrive after human civilization, and die at the end of times. As I sat on the barren and scorched lands of what was once the Earth, the Moon much further away than when I was born, I see a figure in the distance. A snail. That snail. The snail that changed my life. The snail that has been chasing me forever all those aeons ago. There was no one left, only me and that snail. We were the last living creatures on Earth. The Sun suddenly became brighter and brighter, its disc in the sky growing up. The world was getting brighter, as if God and his angels flew down to reclaim everything in Creation. I looked down at the snail, and lent a hand. I am ready to accept my fate, it all came down to this. And so, the snail and I, we looked at the Sun. Its bright divine light engulfed us as it evaporated into oblivion, colors spreading through the cosmos. And thus, ends the History of Earth... and the story of the snail... and me...

John Lennon was, is & always will be the Best ❤ John ❤

[@livmarlin4259]

He was a woman beater.

[@useyournogos6845]

He did this in his youth, as did many rockstars, back then and still today. Hitting your wife was not as taboo as it was in the 60s unfortunately. John did often hit people and get into fights when he was younger, as he struggled to put his thoughts into words a lot of the time. He sincerely apologised for his actions while with his wife Cynthia after and reconciled with Cynthia later, who admits it was extraordinary tough for John. (She talks about this on an interview on Howard stern, you can search it up) John had to balance his family life with the press and media constantly hounding him and trying to crack down on his personal life, and couldn’t handle it. The beatles fame unfortunately took the best of him, and put him in a state of chaos during the early years. It’s tragic when this sort of thing happens, but John was clearly regretful over his past treatment of Cynthia, which is why he wrote the song “jealous guy”. If you’re still not swayed, just keep in your mind that everyone deserves a second chance. Peace and love.

[@livmarlin4259]

@@paolina28 He abandoned his own son and hit and cheated Yoko many times.

[@paolina28]

@@livmarlin4259 If John had been a present father for his first child we probably wouldn't have had the Beatles. In fact, he decided to leave music after the birth of his second son, Sean, to look after him full time. He did well. John didn't hit but Yoko. She never said this. Never. I do not know what you're talking about. And John was a splendid man who wanted peace for himself and for others. I love him❤️☮️

Not only is it the best Christmas song, it is a hymn to brotherhood because love has no race, sex, religion or gender, one more proof of Lennon's genius in other words We are in time to unite and change the world thanks John for the beautiful songs you gave us.

[@charlescovell8054]

Yes, well put: and for my money this was Lennon’s finest and most original composition.

R.I.P John Lennon You Are *Missed* And *Not Forgotten*

[@poppaluv]

The women he beat the fuck out of don't miss him much. Oh, and his son. He was used to missing him since birth. NO big whoop.

[@fortnitereference]

@@poppaluv bruh he had a good relationship with his children. Clearly your brain turned off

[@poppaluv]

@@fortnitereference MY brain is turned off? Hi son only recently got his share off the estate! "Lennon said that after his birth, he only lived with his father for a couple of years. “After that I only saw him a handful of times before he was killed,” Lennon wrote. “Sadly, I never really knew the man." "Both Julian and his mother Cynthia have publicly stated that Lennon was alternately absent, indifferent, drug-addled, and generally unpleasant to be around during Julian’s early childhood. After he divorced Cynthia, Lennon took off with Yoko Ono and dropped out of his son’s life for years. After they reconnected, Lennon severely emotionally abused his son on several occasions, berating and screaming at him until the boy was reduced to tears. Once, Julian giggled and Lennon shouted back, “I hate the way you fucking laugh!” Julian was not yet a teenager at the time. In perhaps the saddest statement ever made about Lennon, Julian later stated that Paul McCartney was more of a father to him than his real father was." i noticed you didn't deny the domestic abuse, homophobia, anger issues,pathological liar,etc Face it. He was the one with the least talent. Watch Lonely heart club. Paul was desperately trying to get him to help. He is the reason the beetles ended.He was not the counterculture hero people see him as. Sure he donated $$$ to the black panthers and took some pics in front of signs. He did nothing else. I'll leave you with this undeniable quote: "Lennon was a perfect example of someone who lived by the hypocritical dictum of “do as I say, not as I do.” As his critics sometimes point out, all you have to do is go straight to his songs. The man who sang “imagine no possessions” lived a millionaire’s life in a posh New York hotel. The man who sang “imagine no religion” was obsessed with every spiritual and New Age fad that came his way, including Hindu meditation, the I-Ching, and astrology of all kinds. The man who sang “all you need is love” was a bitter, violent, and angry man who abused his family and friends. The man who praised having “nothing to kill or die for” helped finance and publicize radical groups who extolled the use of violence. Quite literally everything his fans see personified in the icon of John Lennon are ideals the man himself either couldn’t or wouldn’t live up to." TL;DR He was a pos hypocrite who abandoned his son and abused him, his mother, his friends, hated gays and MORE!!!

[@fortnitereference]

@@poppaluv dang you didn’t need to write to a full on paragraph you could’ve just wrote like 2 sentences or something

[@poppaluv]

@@fortnitereference Obviously i did since what i said at first got the response of "my brain turned off". Someone else with their brain turned on might have done a quick goolgle search, but since you didn't i had to educate you on the ignorance that surrounds lennon's "halo". you're talking to someone who actually saw them live in the early 60s in NOLA and read everything i could get my hands on. It's just the truth dude. Even ringo was a better musician. He just doesn't get the admiration because he wasn't as much in the public eye or murdered. Sorry if I come across as a dick, but the truth is the truth. He was not a very decent person. Peace.
