Raymond Farrell Poems

If Black lives really matter
Why is no one marching in Africa
In protest over the tragic loss
Of thousands of Black lives
...

It was today while being interviewed
On the Boston PBS station
The woman heading CBS
Pontificated for all to hear
...

For all we know
And all we have yet to discover
The latter no doubt
Being much greater than the other
...

It happens
once every few centuries
and this is the week
Saturn and Jupiter
...

I never gave the matter much thought
until the Ontario government
announced another hard lockdown
because of the Covid 19 virus
...

Far too many people
In religious institutions
Of varied faiths
Make a great show
...

And why
You may ask
Is Western Culture
Now based
...

There is nothing speaks more clearly
Of coming days
That will be longer and warmer
Than the return
...
