going is what keeps me going
what keeps me going is going
what keeps you going keeps 
me going too 
until it's gone 
and we go too
where we're going to
going to be less
what matters now 
more depending less on matter to be
more particular breath expanding
and keeping on going like sky

i saw the documentary about the album imagine last night. i learned that john lennon was channeling yoko ono, starting when he climbed the ladder at her show and picked up the magnifying glass and read yes on the ceiling. his words came from her from then on, though she didn't claim, and he didn't give, credit. it matters, but they were together. the worldwide ad campaign, WAR IS OVER if you want it is vital today. this country is bombing other countries still, murdering whole populations, just to maintain and expand the power and wealth of the murderous rulers. nothing has changed except the murder is not televised, and the murder is done more remotely, so our boys aren't slaughtered along with our victims.
death is a wholesale abstraction, and death is the business of the killer elite, and john said then that if enough people wanted war to end war would end, but either the people who want war to end are silent, or there are too few of us, or the government has a rogue life of it's own, with absolute control of the chaos they make. still the enemy is us who let murderers rule.
