For Each Of Us A Last Day

For each of us a last day whether it be soon or late
For each of us it does seem will share a similar fate
Like all other living creatures one day we have to die
With chemistry we may fight ageing but to the reaper we cannot lie,
...

They Dance Around The Truth

To lie to them so easy the morally destitute
The easily corruptible who dance around the truth
They start to believe their own lies right into their old age
They can lie without blinking beyond their dotage stage.

All Things Come

For everyone against you there is one on your side
And you always hold your head high for you too have your pride
You find life a great battle 'tis uphill all of the way
But all things come to those who wait a wise one once did say,

Ignore Them

What matters if you are an honest person behind your back what others of you say
As long as their opinions are not libelious by ignoring your feedback is a better way

Marion O Callaghan

She ran her father's pub for many years in the Square in Millstreet Town

She now rests in peace forever death does come to us all.

Drawing A Narrow Line

In some art competitions as well as literature judges their criterion define
But on their definition of subject matter they are drawing a narrow line
And though on the merit of every winner everyone does not agree
The one who holds the winners cheque can smile in victory

Mt Rouse Or Kolor

It has inspired story and rhyme
Mt Rouse the hill as old as time
Kolor it's indigenous name
Given to it by those here when Europeans came.

Get Rid Of Passport And Visas

Get rid of passports and visas and let people travel free
To any Country they wish to go to by land or air or sea,
Get rid of every warlord and get rid of poverty
And get rid of class distinction and here's to equality,

Big Brother's Judges

By a court of law judge you may not have been judged but you are judged by people every day
Big Brother's judges passing their judgements on you they never seem to fail to have their say
On you and your step on the social ladder they judge you by your influence in your money bank
And though money may be only made of paper it sure enough does give you social rank,
