Old Man John

Now, that John is old and gray,
Misfortune rules his day,
His loving wife has passed away,
His money and his health are gone,
And he is helpless and alone,
His life is just a hopeless mess.
His children?
They could not possibly care less.
At this stage John is asking why,
It is not best for him to die...

Millions of Johns are in our land,
And no one gives a helping hand!
