Wise People Are Hard To Be Found Poem by Francis Duggan

Dole bludgers live off of my taxes doesn't that seem so very unfair
Us hard working people must expend our energy for others to live on welfare
His mates all around him sat listening as he talked between long gulps of beer
They did seem impressed with his waffle why else would they linger to hear

Him putting down the disadvantaged they all seemed to like what he said
Some looked on in sheer admiration and some with a nod of the head
In their own ways showed their approval they liked all that he had to say
But he never once to them mentioned that taxes on his wages he never does pay.

He himself only works for cash wages and the tax man of money he cheat
Yet he belittles the disadvantaged whilst he himself lives by deceit
People in glass houses they should not be throwing stones the windows they are bound to break
He who professes to be so righteous a mockery out of righteousness make.

In every Town like him there are many and wise people are hard to be found
And wisdom you'll find does not exist in a place where fools do abound
He belittles the disadvantaged whilst the tall poppies are growing more tall
Whilst there are people like him in the World there will never be a fair go for all.
