Okay Not the End

Loving friends with kind intents,
purveyors of many gentle thoughts,
present me words that do trigger
intentions of a kind not meant.
If it's not okay, you're not there,
there is even more yet to come.
Not yet the end, but if it were
everything will be all okay.

Okay okay okay okay.
It will be in the distant end
okay okay okay okay.

The limbo of in-between is
neither the end nor is it okay.
Please bring the end here to me
or change the meaning of the other.
Either the end or the okay,
one could come before the latter.
Everything will be okay in the end
if I would not wake up tomorrow.

Okay okay okay okay.
It will be in the forced end
okay okay okay okay.

Here I am waiting for the end,
moving toward the finish line,
the place where everything will be
okay okay okay okay.
Okay okay okay okay.
Okay okay okay okay.
Okay okay.
Okay.


The saying "Everything will be okay in the end, and if it's not OK, it is not the end." Is credited to John Lennon. It may be better known as being quoted in the movie “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”.

An Exchange With John

All those years ago      
on the steps of Saville Row      
for once the great man's tongue      
was tied      
by all those      
legal guys      
but he could still crack jokes      
at their expense      
They could clean up the Apple toilets      
he said      
     
I had wanted to ask      
about Jesus Christ      
but there was no more time      
and when the white Mercedes      
made it through the crowds      
none of us could dream      
the end that waited years away      
outside a New York block      
Back then our world      
still basked in innocence      
and I was just a kid      
learning to write  
and grow up quick      
     
Taller than I thought      
hair dyed red      
my reflection dazzled    
by those glasses      
Yoko so small      
a sunbeam smile      
his arm around    
a sheltering wing      
although I sensed      
it was really her      
protecting him    

Truly      
legendary

Hey hey

Thank you for your respective entries Abra & Accident

Awesome writes all of them!

I'm doing another read through all the entries.  Will be back with results soonest!

Had to flip a coin between Dave and Abra they're both exceptional writes

Was thinking of cutting the trophy in half with a plazma cutter.

Thanks for all the exceptional entries guys!

They're all great!

Love & light at you all!

A great big thank you for this exquisite trophy, Al  & for playing host when Joburg's underwater with your make up running and the biltong soggier than an old whore's batcave -- but I've posted the cheque anyway so you can afford those water wings I know you've been saving for.
