John and Tom

so much depends upon
an old tired man, John,
and Tom,
and George of the military
and Paul of the cavalry
carrying a message that must get through
for a nation to start anew
Think of this today
reflect and wonder away
of how you have the power to say
your country needs change today
and the next day
and the next day
so much depends upon
a country having new Johns,
and new Toms
