Francis Duggan Poems

An ageing male with a pretty young blond partner or wife
Some men they do have all the luck in life
He is not tall or handsome in any way
And he wears a brown hairpiece to hide his baldness and gray
...

You are judged by your religion your culture your nationality and your race
You are judged by the wrinkles you have on your face
You are judged by skin colour whether it be black, white or brown
This is what happens when you are living for you on the wrong side of the town
...

Many who thought they were indispensablein cemeteries lay
And life it does go on without them today
If you think you are irreplaceable you have it all wrong
Humanity without you will surely get along
...

We learn about Nature something new every day
And of her so much to learn only true for to say
And the more we learn of her the more we realize
That of her we know little this not a surprise
...

Many migrants are people who did not choose to stay
In the town or the place where they first saw light of day
Many of them choose to travel to places elsewhere
For to experience life in the big World out there
...

Good old memories to me remain a source of joy
Of Summer on the farm of Aunt Mary and Uncle Dan in Lisnaboy
This is going back the years some six decades ago
Long before time it did become my foe
...

There are conditions attached to love among human kind
Though in dogs for their human masters unconditional love you will find
For a daily walk a few kind words and a daily feed your dog will be your friend
It will love you unconditionally until it's short life does end
...

Federal law does restrict us from enjoying natural fun
In public you cannot go for a walk in the nude on a nice day of sun
Since your private parts in public you are forbidden to display
To live as natural is forbidden in the Human World of today
...

Yes I do fear death but it is the fear of it I do fear
Whenever of the death of a friend I do hear
I believe I am nearing my last night and day
That the reaper of lives from me not far away
...

So many opinionated people in the Human World of today
Who are not short of admirers it does seem this way
Many look up to them as leaders as up the social rank they rise
And though they may be opinionated they are far from wise
...
