I'Ve Travelled Poem by Francis Duggan

I've travelled a bit since i was a teen
Though not much of the World out there i have seen
Of places of beauty i read of and i hear
But Paris and Rome is a long way from here.

I've been in many a Town and walked on many a street
And good and not so good people I've happened to meet
And though some unsavoury kind give their race a bad name
There is the good and the bad and all races the same.

What goes around comes does seem so true
And you only can reap the reward you are due
The karma you reap is the karma you sow
And your karma goes with you where-ever you go.

True wisdom in parks and gardens don't grow
And of living and life there's so little i know
I've so much to learn but my best years long gone
And the clock on my life it just keeps ticking on.

I've travelled a bit since i was in my prime
But i too am one who feels wearied by time
And though life after death yet not proven a lie
The truth is the longer we live the sooner we must die.
