Francis Duggan Poems

Far bigger than they look they act in this way
Small men with big egos i see every day
They walk with a swagger when out on the street
And they never feel out of place where the big egos meet
...

The increase in the Worldwide population and human greed out of control
On the Earth that feeds us is taking it's toll
And add to this Worldwide the weather is acting quite strange
Due to the onset of this thing known as Climate Change
...

Though many with what i say on this with me would disagree
A better World to live in depends on you and me
And on everyone else every woman and man
That each individual can make the World better to live in they most certainly can
...

Though many with what i say on this with me would disagree
A better World to live in depends on you and me
And on everyone else every woman and man
That each individual can make the World better to live in they most certainly can

You have heard of the old saying like father like son
And this does apply to almost everyone
The father saw action in Europe in the early forties in World war two
And in the sixties in the Vietnam war the son saw action too
...

On my flights of fancy i walk up and down
The familiar sidewalks of old Millstreet Town
A gem by the mountains that is known far and wide
Beyond the borders of Duhallow's green countryside
...

I am not saying anything that happens to be new
When i say the wise of the World are only in the few
Of the famous and wealthy we hear of and read
Though it is not the purest of lives that most of them lead
...

I will write you a rhyme of a far away place
Where mine years ago was a familiar face
To many there today a stranger i would be
A new generation would not know of me
...

It can be quite relative this thing known as success
And on such different people different opinions express
On who is or who is not successful there is no unanimity
The hero or heroine to you may not be so to me
...

Pride is a thing that is in everyone
Proud of their daughter and proud of their son
You feel rather proud when others you impress
With the stories of your recent success
...
