Francis Duggan Money Poems

'Tis in the power of money real fame is to be found
And money is always involved where corruption abound
And corruption and human greed to each other live nearby
And why some people are corrupt this could be the answer why
...

Because of money people wish on others harm or ill
And because of money people others do injure or kill
And because of money great friendships have come to an end
And money can make you an enemy or make you a friend
...

The lust for power and money to corruption lead
And some cheat and lie to satisfy their greed
And big Corporations do not have a soul
The avarice that afflicts them their thinking control.
...

What of this purchase how much for it did you pay
It is all about money in the Human World of today
How much are you paid weekly in the job you work in
Those living on low incomes few friends can hope to win
...

A bad habit they form as a young girl or boy
To have power over others some people enjoy
With personal power some are not satisfied
Their desire for top job they don't try for to hide
...

Due to money good friendships have come to an end
For money can make an enemy out of a friend
And due to money many are serving prison time
For money or lack of it leads many to serious crime
...

If you have money problems your problems are not small
And that money speaks all languages that goes for one and all
But that money cannot buy happiness that seems so very true
And to the battlers who keep keeping on great credit must be due,
...

He is sixty his hair dyed brown and she is a natural blond of nineteen
And strolling hand in hand along the beach road every evening they are seen
His grandchildren as old as she is it is so true what they say
That money does speak every language and it has always been this way.
...

Some one else will own your property when you are dead and gone
The day you die the World won't stop life it will carry on
You've made it big, you've reached the top, you're plutocratic kind
But wealthy guy you too must die and leave your wealth behind.
...

In the Human World money speaks every language some say
And all things have a price on them 'twould seem that way
And though the reaper will one day claim the lives of you and I
It costs money to live and it costs money to die.
...

She married him for his money though he was older and gray
And for six years of marriage to her a half a million to her he had to pay
I never felt any love or passion for him to her friends she often say
And he was quite useless as a lover and quite boring anyway.
...

With many with money it is much wants more
I'm sure that's a saying you've often heard before
And many with enough are not satisfied
That greed is addictive cannot be denied
...

I smirk when people say 'it's only money' and with very little money we get by
But money it can do a lot for people and not much of course that money cannot buy
And money it can be your greatest ally and open doors to opportunity
If you could make one wish and one wish only I'm sure you would not wish for poverty.
...

That money speaks every language has often been said before
And what also applies to money is much always wants more
And that moneyed people rule the World is something we all know
The more money they accumulate the more their power does grow.
...

We hear so much of late of Corporate crime
Some far better 'twould seem in jail serving time
Than some who make millions by guile and deceit
They know how to lie and they know how to cheat
...

At the top of people's new year's wish list you won't find poverty
For money speaks every language as most would agree
A lack of money in people causes low self esteem
Money is the most important thing to most it does seem
...

When your amount of money can say more about you than words of you can ever say
It does not speak volumes of the society that we have to live in today
If that only speaks of our true worth it does not say much for humanity
When you say money only matters you seem spiritually bankrupt to me.
...

It is not how much money and assets you accumulate or how much fame you do win
That will not make the Human World a better World to live in
It depends on how kind and compassionate you are
And not your money or the size of your plane, boat or car
...

The beauty of Nature for all to enjoy
Yet a beauty some people are happy to destroy
Due to this need that is in us for financial gain
Our craving for material success beyond me to explain.
...

With little money in life you will not get very far
And when you are out of it you will know who your friends are
He or she is your very best friend of the town
Who comes to your aid when you are financially down
...

Though money will not save you from the reaper and your mental depression won't cure
I'd rather be wealthy and unhappy than to be unhappy and poor
For how can some one poor be truly happy and it does not make much sense to me
When some says he is happy go lucky though he is living in poverty?
...

The praises of moneyed people many like to sing
And though money is quite important it cannot buy everything
Those with very poor health money cannot enjoy
That is something I learned as a very young boy
...

If i had plenty money i'd enjoy life says Lew
I'd go down to the T.A.B. and have big punt or two
I'd not drive trucks for Selby i'd give the job away
I'd read The Sun and Sporting Globe and sit at home all day.
...

No money in it or neither much fame
For me this penning of rhyme is a hungry belly game
My better days in life in the forever gone
And i must be addictive for to keep rhyming on
...

To get by in life money most people need
Though those without love are poor people indeed
But the love of a mother for her daughter and son
Transcends all other loves when all is said and done
...

He wears a blond hair piece to hide his baldness
And as the saying goes his better days he's seen
But he is one who has got heaps of money
And he sleeps with a young beauty of nineteen.
...

Money may speak every language but money will not save
You of the crematorium or the deep dark depths of the grave
The Reaper of lives will come reaping your way
If not in the dark of night then in the light of day
...

For the air we do breathe money we do not have to pay
But from smoky industrial estates the wealthy live further away
And in a far less polluted environment that poor people do
But perhaps this is not anything like news to you
...

Not much about most things I can claim to know
But I'm certain that money on trees does not grow
And though in the Human World money is the most important thing
Of love lost and found singers prefer to sing
...

In assets quite poor with little cash to my name
I will take the money you can have the fame
Your fame it will not buy you a loaf of bread
No you have the fame I'll have money instead
...

It is thanks to money that he has a beautiful young wife
And it is thanks to money that he lives the good life
And though he earned his fortune in the honest way
Money speaks every language as some like to say.
...

That money speaks all languages happens to be true
Just call into a posh Richmond cafe any night and you
Will see ageing sugar daddy and his mistress one third the age of he
Wine and dine and sipping brand coffee.
...

Since money only matter how poor humanity
In a World where at least a billion people do only know of poverty
And where the World money markets are controlled by the super wealthy few
That the underprivileged are many is not saying anything new
...

You are one with plenty money to give you your due
And money in life is most important is only too true
You live at a fashionable uptown address
But despite your money and material assets the reaper of lives you cannot impress
...

When it comes to power and money between most aspirational people not much trust
Little thought given to honest dealing and doing what is right and just
Money it can cause ill feeling as many have come to realize
And that trust and friendship lose out to it to anyone not a surprise
...

Why worry about the making of lots of money the thing that gives rise to fame
When the reaper of lives treats the lives of the paupers and the billionaires as the same
You may be the town's wealthiest person but some evening, night, morning or day
The one who is known to claim all lives will surely come reaping your way
...

On spending taxpayers money on promotion of self there is nothing of to feel proud
That is of political advantage to the incumbent government should not be allowed
Politicians should not be furthering their political careers at the taxpayers expense
That they pay for their own self promoting should make for better public financial sense
...

The emphasis is strongly on money in the Human World of today
The paper currency that makes people unequal despite what some might say
Those who tell you money is not important to your social status on a falsehood believe
Themselves in their thinking they only deceive
...

When you tell me you have little money in truth you are saying to me
That many things you must go without few things in life now are free
In a World where millions of people try to rise above poverty
This is how it has been always and how it will always be
...

Suppose what always has been can be nothing new
The majority of the wealth and the material assets of the World is owned by the few
And millions of people in extreme poverty
It is money and lack of it creates inequality
...

Go out and spend your money friend 'tis soon you'll have to die
So what use in piling riches up for others to enjoy
And don't have some relation say on the day they lay you low
He forgot me he left me nought the bloody so and so.
...

Money speaks every language as some are known to say
And it is quite important in the World of today
Due to greed for it or lack of it some turn to crime
And many because of it serving jail time
...

Money is most important as most would agree
But Nature's beauty around us we do not pay to see
A silver billed magpie pipes on a tall tree
The very best things in life to us are free
...

Money speaks every language as most would agree
An old saying that does make a loser of me
For as i grow older i grow poorer financially
Suppose poverty thinking begets poverty
...

He covers his baldness in a brown wig the sugar daddy with the big nose
But his fifth wife she is young and pretty one might say she blooms like a rose
A twenty five years old beauty with shoulder length wavy ginger hair
The only reason she is with him is he is a multi millionaire
...

Money is quite important why otherwise pretend
For if you are short of it you do need a good friend
One who has plenty of it on you for to spend
For a poor one such a person in his or her life is indeed a god send
...

A beautiful young woman with wavy shoulder length hair of dark brown
She goes by the title of Pride of the Town
In her early twenties yet to be a wife
Though she does have a far older man in her life.
...

The old bloke with heaps of money was buried yesterday
Yet for his funeral services and his burial the town charities will pay
For all the money that he had by him hidden away
At least a couple of million so those who knew him say.
...

Their families and friends and loved ones with expensive gifts they can shower
Whoever said money with it does not bring great power
Are wrong in their thinking to me it does seem
The pauper will never be held in high esteem
...

The one with heaps of money his or her friends in numbers grow
And the pauper is the person only the kind of heart wishes to know
And money speaks more of one than words can ever do
And if you are short of money I can only pity you,
...
