Francis Duggan Mirror Poems

When I look in a mirror I feel surprised to see
This ugly looking old fellow who is looking at me
He must be over sixty his balding head gray
And clearly he has known a far better day
...

Our elected representatives are our reflective mirror does that seem fair to say
And what we sow we do receive life's always been this way
Our deceitful and greedy politicians the mirror of our deceit and greed
Of corruption on election day 'tis we who plant the seed
...

Every time i look in a mirror an old bloke is staring at me
Balding, gray haired he looks a bit wrinkled in his early seventies maybe
He does not appear to be happy though when i smile at him he smile
I thought of getting to know him better but then felt it may not be worth my while
