Francis Duggan Son Poems

He is serving three years for armed robbery but the mother says my son is not a crim
He is not the one who robbed the uptown drug store for someone else the cashier mistook him
My son has told me that he is not guilty and what he tells me I always believe
He is a kind, honest and loving person and does not use guns and is not known to deceive
...

His father a decorated soldier a noble hearted one
And he the ballad singer sings of battles fought and won
A true chip of the the old block when all is said and done
He has his father's D N A and he is his father's son.
...

He proudly walks out hand in hand with his new girl friend
And from gym workouts he looks well muscled broad shouldered
and trim
He wears sleeveless shirts to display his tattoos well bronzed from sun and wind
...

He is Poemhunter's favourite son
And he feels he's God's own chosen one
In P H's forums every day
He surely does love to have his say.
...

He's only known the good times and all of the better things in life
And he's never had to sink a drain for to support his kids and wife
And he's a billionaire by right of birth and un-earned fame he's won
Because the Queen's his mother Prince Phillip's eldest son.
...

The young hereford bull calf in the paddock out there
Lives on the milk from his mother's udder he hasn't a care
She feeds him and licks him and of him takes care
The bond between mother and offspring all creatures with humans do share
...

At parental wrongs why should he feel shame
When for the sins of the father the son not to blame
We are only responsible for our own actions that is how it should be
At least anyhow that is how it seems to me
...

Louisa Lawson's son Henry could have had a great literary career
For he wrote great poems and stories but he was too fond of the beer
He died poor and lonely when his marriage did break down
Henry Lawson the great writer paid a huge price for renown
...

A son of Hibernia i pen doggerel
I am of the tribe of the never do well
Though i have seen a little of the big World out there
My journey in life leading me to nowhere
...

The man whose young son watches as he beats the boy's mother his partner or wife
Is not setting a good example for his child in life
The boy may well be a wife or partner beater on some future day
Since we learn from our mentors us humans are this way
...

Out of work and poor and racked by self doubt
And by life he is one who has been knocked about
And though the judgemental may say in life little he has done
Like them he was born to a woman he is some mother's son
...

That he is not a Nationalist or Patriot he will not deny
Such tags he will tell you to him do not apply
He is never there to watch the war parade pass by
Nor the flag of his Nation in his front yard he doesn't fly.
...

Mrs Kadge feels so proud of her son Ed
A framed picture of him and her husband Andy hanging over her bed
Taken on his graduation day going back five years or so
In real time this does not seem that long ago
...

Cullen's greatest son is a Worldwide known literary name
But he remains as he was before his ascension to fame
He retains the common touch despite his poetic rise
That culminated in his winning of the Whitbread Poetry Prize
...

He is one who never must work for his pay
And he will never know what it is like a poor day
With a beautiful wife and a young son and daughter a multi millionaire at thirty one
Life has been good to the billionaire's son
...

For the crimes of the father the son is made to pay
That is how it is it's always been this way
Many judged on the records of their parents or their postal address
The judgemental people are hard to impress,
...

To some man and woman he was born a son
And since harm to another he never has done
What he does in his life ought to be fine
And is not any business of your's or of mine,
...

For the sins of the father the son should not have to pay
Though such not always the case that does seem sad to say
The judgemental people who live in the town
Will judge the innocent son on the dad's ill renown
...

She says my son is a wonderful fellow but she never says how he is serving time
In the big prison in the big city for what is a serious crime
The bank teller he shot in an armed robbery for many weeks was hospitalized
At that he has recovered and is again working the doctors are even surprised
...

The war it is over the battle is won
But the mother is left for to grieve for her son
For the rest of her life she will bear her sorrow cross
And victory in war won't ease her sense of loss
...

His poems and plays are literary gems his quotes popular today
A genius and a great poet with words he had a way
Incarcerated in Reading Jail he lived at a time
When for a man to love another man was looked on as a crime.
...

A fellow not fired by ambition than him not a lazier one
But one woman always will love him the mother will stand by her son
Others criticize him for his lack of motivation but the mother her boy will defend
In her eyes he is a true champion she will always be his greatest friend.
...

Society will not forget him for what he has done
But we ought to remember he is some mother's son
And though he will be in jail for a very long time
His mum does not love him less despite his terrible crime,
...

Bill wishes his son had been a well known Sportsman
My son's a poet you never hear him say
As if that is something to be ashamed of
'Tis a strange World that we live in today.

He was the son of God 'tis said yet him they crucified
And nailed to a timber cross on Calvary wearing a crown of thorns he died
And a similar fate him would befall were he around today
The good condemned to suffer as some are known to say.
...

He came home from war in a casket the war now supposed to be won
He was buried with full military honours but the mother now grieves for her son
But now he is just one of the war dead and all is so quiet where he lay
In the family grave by the hillside he can't hear the birds welcome the day.
...

He is a serial killer and awful things he has done
But his mother says he is not guilty and she stands by her son
A jury found him guilty but with their verdict she does not agree
She says my son is innocent i believe what he told me

And she feels that there's no one quite like him
And her precious Jim the apple of her eye
Has now become a fully fledged altar boy.

The judge he jailed the gipsy's son
For the trivial thing which he had done
He had stolen from a farmer a second hand tweed coat
Which was valued at a ten pound note.

I know Matt Duggan but I never knew Chris his son
And a friendship missed is a friendship never won
And how can I grieve for one I never knew
Though I feel for Matt for what he must go through.

I am sick and tired of others treating me as I were dirt
Far too oft I've been insulted and my feelings badly hurt
Those who know me look down on me I'm jailbird's son is that a crime
Is it my fault Dad's a jailbird in a jailhouse serving time.
