Try, Succeed, Fail...A Poem for John

This is an excellent poem about John Lennon that BeatleManiac1 wrote.

Try, Succeed, Fail

You tried to bring peace,

But it never came.

You tried to bring love,

Yet it remains same.

You tried to bring hope,

But look at this world.

You tried to bring joy,

Evil smiled curled.

You tried to bring truth,

Yet the lies remain.

You tried to bring facts,

It wasn't in vain.

You changed many lives,

Just for a small bit.

You tried, succeeded,

But was it worth it?

You suffered a lot,

To bring us at peace.

You gave it your all,

Your heart, you did lease.

You went through dark times,

Went with a smile.

Personal demons,

Just for a while.

And yet you survived,

How well you did do.

You laughed at them all,

They're foolish, it's true.

Unavoidable,

Consequences.

Long victorious,

Long forgotten.

You tried to do much,

And trust me, you did.

You tried to bring all,

For now, I don't kid.

You're the greatest man,

The coffin's last nail.

I thank that you tried,

You succeed, you fail.

R.I.P John...we all miss you
