Francis Duggan Poems

We cannot have trust and justice if we deny the truth
If in the face of prejudice we do remain as mute
Where one race feels superior to another there never can be trust
Let us drink to equality and what is right and just
...

Of inhibitions none of us are free
Not him or her as well as you or me
Even the most confident are lacking in some way
Despite what he or she might have to say
...

What happened yesterday is done and gone
Today is another day and life goes on
And yesterday's failure a dent to my pride
I may have failed but at least my best i tried
...

May your last day be your hardest you have heard that said before
And here's to the great gift of life tis well worthy of an encore
You may feel old and weary and have lost your sexual drive
But otherwise you are in good health just feel glad to be alive.

He told me of his top job and of his Uni degrees
And i had to stop myself of telling him enough is enough please
A man i had never met before in the supermarket park
Perhaps he had to tell someone of how in life he had made his mark.

They do have swollen egos but for that them one cannot blame
Since fans beg them for autographs and loudly chant their name
The millionaire sports men and women how arrogant they do seem
So proud and self conceited and so full of self esteem
...

Don't mention of love to Jacko since love has gone out of his life
Talk of love makes him feel bitter since he was dumped by Prudence his ex wife
For Eddy whom she loves better for him once bitten is twice shy
He will not be in a hurry for to give love one more try,
...

For to kill other people some commit suicide
And by far too many in war zones have died
And war always breaks out when men disagree
This is how it is and it always will be
...

What is life for millions but a struggle to cope
And of better times for to live on in hope
The homeless and poor on the poor side of the town
Feeling depressed for known reasons and financially down
