Raymond Farrell Poems

I don't own
One of these idiot boxes
But if I did
I would likely
...

Just writing
To let
The whole world know
I have met
...

I grew up
In a county in eastern Ontario
Where the largest town
Only had 9000 people
...

Today
As I sit
Under the locust tree
Under my umbrella
...

If you are at all inclined
To take walks outside
In the early evening
You cannot speak about these insects
...

In order to truly be an atheist
One would need to know
All there is to know
And know that
...

The pendulum of history always swings
From one extreme to the other
The misery this imbalance brings
Inflicted by man on his fellow man
...

Just live in the moment
is one of those catchy cliches
people tend to latch onto
hoping they've found a key to happiness
...
