Raymond Farrell Poems

When elected officials and those in law enforcement
Who have taken an oath to uphold the law
Decide to defy the law, it is to the country's detriment
When sedition is encouraged and even applauded
...

I came to the subdivision
praised as an example
of modern development
one home after another
...

Another day in the books
the sky isn't always blue
but it was today
with a warm sun
...

And I too once was young
At times, brash and opinionated
With answers on the tip of my tongue
But age, life, time and experience
...

Generations of the McNulty family lived here
They came from Ireland in Black 47
There must have been trepidation and fear
To overcome upon arriving in this wilderness
...

Out of this winter
Will gush forth
Spring
The pores of the earth
...

We listen carefully
To the promises made
Then one by one
We observe if anything
...

did not become apparent
until after the ring
was on her finger
and the vows were made.
...
