John Lennon & Yoko Ono: WAR IS OVER! (If You Want It)

I miss you, John. 27 years later, I still wish I could turn back the clock to the Summer of 1980. I remember everything - sharing our morning coffee, walking in the park together on a beautiful day, and seeing your hand stretched to mine - holding it, reassuring me that I shouldn't worry about anything because our life was good.

I had no idea that life was about to teach me the toughest lesson of all. I learned the intense pain of losing a loved one suddenly, without warning, and without having the time for a final hug and the chance to say, "I love you," for the last time. The pain and shock of that sudden loss is with me every moment of every day. When I touched John's side of our bed on the night of December 8th, 1980, I realized that it was still warm. That moment has haunted me for the past 27 years - and will stay with me forever.

Even harder for me is watching what was taken away from our beautiful boy, Sean.
He lives in silent anger over not having his Dad, whom he loved so much, around to share his life with. I know we are not alone. Our pain is one shared by many other families who are suffering as the victims of senseless violence. This pain has to stop.

Let's not waste the lives of those we have lost. Let's, together, make the world a place of love and joy and not a place of fear and anger. This day of John's passing has become more and more important for so many people around the world as the day to remember his message of Peace and Love and to do what each of us can to work on healing this planet we cherish.

Let's: Think Peace, Act Peace, and Spread Peace. John worked for it all his life.
He said, "there's no problem, only solutions." Remember, we are all together.
We can do it, we must. I love you!

I'm a newbie but here goes. I believe we have the capacity to enjoy life AND make the world better for everyone, especially those with little hope.

I'm 47, lost everything in a house fire 5 years back, starting over now and looking to bring hope to the world.

In that spirit, I made a nonprofit channel and a video. If you still believe in love and hope, check it out please. I know you're all busy so it'd be an honor for me if you do.

Just Google Google "DF Def Master - State of Mind 2.0."

@rustfeind How dare you be so uneducated and so racist. All Lennon was trying to do was make peace a chance and apparently you didnt get it....nonviolent.....peace on earth. Rice fields....really who are you?

@smallpotatoes989 The biggest mistake was eating from the tree of knowledge !! (HA!) Again, it is our small actions (like voting) which can close the gap between the poor and "power elite". By containing our materialism - a task even George Harrison found difficult - we can make small progress. Philosophy is much easier than action, so the trick is to find the balance that leans toward the goal of our philosophy, setting an example for others. It's our choice every day.

@smallpotatoes989 John was murdered by an insane person. He wasn't assassinated for his beliefs and actions. Persecuted, yes. He also admitted his weaknesses as a human being. The reality is that people of conviction or means are often the ones who preach the dream, and live it as best they can. We can do our part in our small worlds by believing and voting. No one asks sainthood or martyrdom from us. We can live in reality but make the dream reality with small actions that add up among us.
