Francis Duggan Poems

Extinction is forever that seems sad to say
And more life forms becoming extinct every day
Like trying to re-create the paper we've given the fire for to burn
The dead to life never more ever return
...

The building where people elected to Parliament meet to legislate
The elected representatives of every constituency in every State
Referred to as the honorable members though most of them members of shame
People who are arrogant and conceited and insult honor's name
...

He sang Oh Lord I Saw The Light
As if heaven was in his sight
And perhaps he has the inner glow
Though then again of this i would not know
...

In some forms of twenty first century technology for Nature's beauty no win
Than the people and life around him his cell phone he was more interested in
Too busily enamored in the phone to even glance my way
On strangers to him he would not waste a good day
...

The depth of feelings in her dark brown eyes
She is gentle and kindhearted and she's wise
And she has about her such a happy way
And she win you when she smile and say good day.
...

The World she light up with her happy smile
And there's a cheerful warmth in her hello
She takes with her the gift of happiness
And spread it around everywhere she go.
...

The night is calm and frosty I hear the lapwing cry
Above the darkened paddock beneath the starry sky
Just five sleeps till September and the calendar Spring
The time of year upon us when wild birds nest and sing.
...

One hundred K's or maybe more to the next country town
But we will reach Gilgandra before the sun goes down
And we will book a room tonight in the Gilgandra hotel
'Twas tweny bucks six months ago my memory serves me well.
...

Woken by a heavy knock on his door
Late in the evening around half past four
Tired Fred shouted loudly please just go away
I need to rest up on my rostered off day.
...

She fears for her oncoming family
And all the World is now her enemy
And from kith and kindred she is forced to flee
And dig out nesting hole midst grassy lea.
...
