It Takes Every Kind Poem by Francis Duggan

The good and the bad and the deaf and the blind
To make up this World it takes every kind
The people who only take and those who know how to share
It is a strange World the World out there.

The people who only think of their own need
Of greed and self centredness they sow the seed
And those who to help you will go out of their way
It does take all kinds it's so true what they say.

The thieves, child abusers, rapists and murderers the humans of prey
In the newspapers we read about them every day
Yet then there are those who combat poverty
And they are a credit to all of humanity.

It takes all kinds to make this World of ours
And even in Nature's garden there are weeds amongst the flowers
And suppose human beings are part of Nature too
Amongst every group you will find the unworthy few.

The human Humanworld is a rat race so they say
And it takes all kinds it's always been that way
And it does seem sad that the not so bright powerful few
A lot of damage to others can do.
