How Can One Admire One Like Him Poem by Francis Duggan

How Can One Admire One Like Him



How can one admire those who prosper on others financial pain
And they even boast in public of their ill gotten gain
To prey upon the vulnerable that hardly does seem fair
Amongst 'the haves' of every town many a tainted millionaire
An old lady sold her home to a real estate agent this story has been told
Two months later he sold it for twice what he paid for it he preyed on one frail and old
Of a quarter of a million profit on his shady deal to his mates he does boast
Of preying upon the vulnerable to himself he drinks a toast
How can one admire one like him what's in him to admire?
He has legally stolen a quarter of a million from a vulnerable woman his story not one to inspire
Others to any form of greatness he is not the type to emulate
He will never be known for compassion he is not one we should celebrate
How can one admire those who prosper on the financial ruin of the vulnerable and the old
They are the lowest form of legal thieves at heart they are callous and cold.
