Raymond Farrell Poems

Life only moves in
One direction, don't look back
You'll go in the ditch
...

Many a man with money to spare
Seeking only to live in leisure
Daily passing the time without care
Outwardly pursuing the latest pleasure
...

We are
What we read
What music we listen to
The entertainment we pursue
...

Today
As I sit
Under the locust tree
I remember
...

Life and death
These two events
So monumental
And common to all
...

The Canada of my youth
Prior to the rise
Of Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau
Was prosperous and debt free
...

Far be it from me
As a Canadian
To tell any
Of the citizens of the United States
...

Can those of us
Who are sane
Not all agree
That given the fact
...

There is not one artist
Who taking thought
And with careful execution
Can produce
...
