We Do Never Stop Learning As The Wise One Does Say Poem by Francis Duggan

In material things for my years of life i have little to show
But of life there are things i can claim for to know
And memories of places i have been to and things i have seen
In my mind of memories remain evergreen

And some things of life i have come to realize
Like all we do grow older but few do grow wise
The wisest person i know has spent few years in school
But one can say of her she is nobody's fool

The politicians we elected as legislators of the Country in the Country's Parliament of today
Are our reflective mirror as people does this seem fair to say?
In Parliament sittings behaving like naughty school children calling each other out of name
Of them we are supposed to feel proud but they are to our shame

To the feelings and needs of others many of us seem to be blind
Makes one realize such wonderful people are the compassionate and kind
Yet of them we seldom do hear of or read much about
Though of their worth as good people there cannot be any doubt

I have been to a few places but i cannot say i have been there and done that
And i have not grown wiser though i have grown old and fat
But i learn a little from life every day
We do never stop learning as the wise one does say.
