Dan McGonagle Poems

When faced with the powers of Darkness
When evil consumes the weak
Its time to prepare for battle
But there are weapons you must first seek
...

Tenement buildings falling to bits

Victims of precision hits
...

Don't listen to those who say you can't
You can be what you want to be
Don't listen to the voices of discontent
I won't let that happen to me
...

Why is it that the majority of people who read my writes cannot take a minute or so to comment on what they have read?
Is my writing of such a poor standard that it deserves no comment at all?
To those of you who have already commented on my writes...
...

Love rises like a phoenix from the ashes of loneliness

Powering the world with eternal emotions
...

The sun is shining bright today
No clouds are in my sky
The birds are warbling sweetly
Saying hello as they pass by
...

When your Mother placed you in my arms
My heart swelled up with pride
I cradled you close to my chest
Held you snugly by my side
...

Beautiful Bridge o'er the Silvery Tay
Alas... I am very vexed to say
Ninety lives have been taken away
December,1879, on its last Sabbath day
...

What could be a more natural sight
A child feeding from his mother in broad daylight
Why is it viewed as a scene of disgust
What harm can ensue from that bond of trust
...

I watched you sleeping just last night
The way I did in years gone by
You were my infant son back then
Now you are an adult...six feet high
...
