He Lives His Own Poem by Francis Duggan

A penniless fellow yet he laugh and he sing
But wealth some will tell you is a relative thing
He laughs at the World one not fettered by stress
And what happens tomorrow he could not care less
He does not have a wife to pull him into line
For he does like his beer and he does like his wine,
He doesn't belong to a church or to a god he doesn't pray
And that the World is against him you will not hear him say
He doesn't have degrees of which he can brag
And he doesn't take pride in the National flag,
He has been called an unpatriotic Godless infidel
By so called patriots who believe in a heaven and hell
But he doesn't care what some of him say
He does his own thing and he lives his own way.
