       (From Epiloge of novel “Eleanor Rigby”)

This music has really transformed our world.
It stressed greatly the Central Asia (previous part of USSR) also,
in the time of Cold War and Iron Fences,
when our old fathers-communist leaders,
rotten in power and ruling by Soviet empire till the death,
fighting with freedom, capitalism and Beatles also
as with the decadence and poisoning art of dying West,
until USSR itself collapsed down from stupid governance
and violence and supressing of right of man.

By the way for our olders had been known
that according with an ancient Kyrgyz prophesy 
every millennium bring to world the singer,
who might to crumble mountains and great evil empires
just with his stunning powerful songs.

Now we are going to understand
what kind of person had been John Lennon.

Thank forever, bard of millennium,
singer with Irish-Kyrgys root,
the modern Ossian,
Orpheus who saved our world
and presented freedom for prisoned East.
You are deserved the deepest our respect and love for that
from generation to generation
as long as will sounded this silver melodies,
this unusual music here and everywhere -
Mind games, Stand by me, Imagine,
Girl, Instant karma, Across the Univerce.
