Lacrimal Song, White Album, Before 'Can You Take Me Back"

Paul McCartney said that this was another one of John's songs from India.
It's followed by the short piece by Paul.
George (Martin?) plays the harmonium on this and two other songs, says Wikipedia.
I can't help but wonder if it was meant to be Harrison, but I'm guessing it's correct.
Just a guess, mind.
Its original lyrics were 'make your mother buy' rather than 'sigh.'
John may have disowned the song later, or it may have been a glitch in the interviewer's tape.

Seems more is not known, often, than is known... about most things.
What is 'known' is easily open to interpretation, even by the self that said it before.
We stand on shifting sands where tears are immediately absorbed by arid land.

All things considered, it was a good day - a day for contemplation and peace.
He was right to give it a chance and say those words aloud.
Thanks for being, John Lennon.
For trying to be conscious, most of all.

Celebration and the music replace the tears -
A life lived fully, but shorter than was hoped by many.
A thought came: alive again and amongst us.
Jack White would have been a 'perfect circle,' I thought
but the math doesn't match.

In the end the tears give way, evaporate, nourish the new.
We watch and remember.
