25 Years Today - 'John Lennon of the Beatles is Killed'

As you may have heard or remembered, today is the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's death. He was shot on the steps of the Dakota in New York on December 8th, 1980.

His death was an ironic one because he and his wife were an international symbol of peace. After his departure from the Beatles (via Yoko) Lennon wrote the song 'Imagine'. I never took to heart the lyrics, but today with our country and many other parts of the world at war, and even the world around me displaying hatred, I now respect the song and also dream of the day when there will be peace.

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
