Those Who Tell Us Poem by Francis Duggan

Those Who Tell Us



Those who tell us we can be anything that we wish to be
Are talking a whole lot of bull-dust it does seem to me
I cannot become the monarch or i cannot become the pope
Or of becoming the president i do not have a hope

In life you can only do the best you can do
And at what you are good at some better than you
Super positive people tell you that you can be anything you choose
To be in a World where for every winner many have to lose

As a school going boy i used to daydream
Of being a star player in the World's greatest football team
But as a footballer i never made the grade
With second grade junior teams i only ever played

Those who say you can be anything that you wish for to be
Are talking a whole lot of bunkum would you not agree
It is in your mind only you can become anything
I will never become pope or president or king.
