Tom Higgins Poems

I look forward to the future,
As I look back upon the past,
And I hope I'll keep remembering,
For as long as my life may last,
...

So Much For A Swiss Education!

In North Korea Kim Jong Un
Has been on the telly firing a gun
...

A possible war crime, they say gas was used
And human rights have thus been abused.
What is the point of having a law
That fails to make a crime of war?
...

Whre is he when he's needed most
In times of the deepest despair
The father, son, or holy ghost
Why does he never prove he cares?
...

Once babes in arms,
Once tots at play,
Once bright eyed kids,
Once happy schooldays.
...

Seventy thousand now dead, and counting
The victims of another sectarian war.
The obscene toll just keeps on mounting,
And just what are they fighting for?
...

I want to know, I wonder why
We look up and see the sky,
And when we then look down,
We see our feet on the ground.
...

It’s a long, long road
When you’re the only one on it.
It’s a long, long way
To travel all alone.
...

I am still breathing I can hear, and I can see.
Why do you always just look straight past me?
Why is it that I always find
when it comes to me you seem quite blind?
...

I look forward to the future,
As I look back upon the past,
And I hope I'll keep remembering
For as long as my life may last,
...
