Francis Duggan Poems

The great and the mighty the big and the small
The scythe of life's reaper claims the lives of all
In that they too are born to eventually die
All other life forms are no different to i
...

If to receive good karma you plant the good seed
And you are always willing to help one of your helping in need
And you live your life without harming anyone
Then your mum and your dad have raised in you a good daughter or son
...

A million dollars out of his own bank account to re-elect himself as Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull did spend
Though this is not in the least surprising as Malcolm is not or never will be the poor person's friend
That Malcolm is for Malcolm is not saying anything that is new
It is known that his friends are only among the privileged few
...

The best days in his life in the forever gone
But the desire it is in him to keep living on
Old Rodney loves life and he has no wish to die
To him heaven and hell are based on a lie
...

The words of a wise person i do recall
In life you may win some but you cannot win them all
For one to win others lose it is this way
And there are winners and losers in life every day
...

Today in the fields where the Blackwater flow
Among the rank rushes the cock pheasant crow
And a musical speck in the gray of the sky
The mottled brown skylark does sing as he fly
...

His suitability for the U S top job many do rightfully doubt
For a lot of racist and sexist words comes out of his mouth
In November 2016 only Hillary Clinton stands in his way
Of him becoming President of the U S Of A
...

As is said there is even some good in the bad
And we all have a mum and we all have a dad
And many are victims of bad birth circumstance
To succeed in life they do stand little chance
...

His son and daughter in their early twenties close to their lives prime
And he and his wife in their early fifties showing the wear of time
As a younger man he daydreamed of adventure elsewhere
And of living and working in the big World out there
...

In a Human World where winners many like to celebrate
There is a huge difference between good and great
The good wins the bronze or the silver the great wins the gold
But one thing we all share in common we all do grow old
...
