So John Lennon says you have to learn to smile as you kill so you can be like the guy who lives on top of the hill.
John Lennon saw the world for what it was.
He did not believe in God.
He wanted peace.
John Lennon sang a song for me.
Let It Be and it really is about me.
I could not have said it better.
But John, answers were not in the Bible.
No, Yoko married to another goes for John.
And now, she squabbles over the money.
TISK TISK
And life is not a bowl of cherries.

Like a song I sang while waiting out more misery in New Milford, Pa...I sang about waiting for that second chance...and in the arms of angels fly away from here. I was in a hotel room when I sang it. I sing often. People steal just often from me. I watch and I live with sinners and have my own list of sins. One was letting people step on me like a welcome to my fortune mat.

So when I pray and signs and wonders happen afterwards, does that make me crazy? I am not crazy. Sorry to disappoint you. Most people who are really crazy have others in fear. I mean like wrapped so tightly, they can't utter a peep. I let you be yourselves...then I ask God for signs.
All of us need them.

For John Lennon, he was that working class hero.
He was not a zero...in Yoko's eyes. He was bigger than God and he captured her heart. Alas, when Mark David Chapman heard a voice to kill him, he really did hear it. I know he did. As with Kennedy. I knew the command was given. I am Mary sent back and I hear God.

So all you who have decided there is no God, I pity you. For as surely as I am on here now, that I asked God to make emailing possible and Al Gore took the machine I invented with God's help, there is a God. And I am not afraid and I know who I am.

I want my cheese sandwich back.
Golden Palace has it.
Hey, world...wake up.
Smell the roses.

I live with sinners. Karen Carpenter stole my songs but before another Carpenter could steal from me, I took the husband and had the kids that would have been mine if I had royalties for the songs taken from me. Take that Peggy Carpenter.
I will not let the Carpenters do me wrong again.
But oh well, God works in strange ways and so do I.

As long as you keep doing me wrong world, you will be sorry for it. I am more like the gladiator mother than you know.
