If John Were In His Seventies

"All you need is love."
--John Lennon

If John were in his seventies,
like me,
what would he think,
what would he see?
A power-mad world,
disinformation war,
division and greed.
I can't give him words,
but think he might say
that when we're at our best
we're indivisible.
We're stronger
than any foreign puppet
or racist dictator.
When we're at our best
we're indivisible,
stronger than any crook,
stronger than any mob,
and only love
can do the job.
