His Truth Poem by Francis Duggan

He said to me you're a negative person and such negative things you do say
Spiritually you are poverty stricken and to a God you do not pray
You seem negative towards wealthy people but what use are you to the poor
When you find life such a great battle and you yourself not financially secure.

You seem an anti success person you never praise the millionaire
You seem so down on wealthy people do you not think that is unfair?
I could not get a word in sideways his truth kept ringing in my ears
One might say that he was grog driven he had a few too many beers.

With him I did not wish to argue each to their own as they do say
Suppose we are all very different we look at life in our own way
He usually is a quiet fellow but the grog seems to change him complete
Tonight by him will be forgotten on the next time that he and I meet.

When he said to me you're a negative person his truth to the real truth was near
And the truth can cause hurt to the feelings and the truth few ever wish to hear
The grog it does not seem to suit him for his anger it is a release
With him I did not even argue 'twas the best way for to keep the peace.
