Raymond Farrell Poems

Clarity of thought
Precision of language
Without ambiguity
Within the academic circles
...

Once up a time, not so very long ago
Governments neither debt nor deficit did show
But greed has had its way, and the seeds of debt it did sow
Will soon be harvested in years of endless woe.
...

It's not an uncommon phenomenon
In everyday speech
The I'm, let's, e'en
Are part of daily lingo
...

The further they deviate
From the path
The louder
They preach and sing
...

For different reasons
Two groups of people
Tend to draw the ire
Of diametrically opposite camps
...

I am a self-hating
Human being
I loath myself
And my species
...

Today. people
Have come to think
Of the customary Baker's Dozen
Which means thirteen
...

So and so (the name is unimportant)
Was a run-of-the-mill
Middle-Class Englishman of the day
Who was stressed for his entire life
...

It's not as though
the subconscious ceases to function
and dreams no longer exist
during our waking hours
...

First
The British came
With the Bible
Once they got the locals
...
