Farrago is a medley of poems. This collection speaks to the reader that the human condition includes occurrences of injustice, rudeness, cruelty, tragic events and perhaps worse of all – loneliness. This collection serves as a reminder that some situations in life can lead to hopelessness and even a dark death. The search for heroes, the yearning for justice and the reliability of our enormous steadfast universe can help ease the fear of the eventual physical death we all will face. With the cosmic truth of faith, hope and love being eternal, one should sojourn circumspectly, with cautious boldness, through all the days of our lives on this earthly plane having a fervent expectation of a joyous life without end. By doing so we will find ourselves rich in kindness towards others and enjoying the resulting peace that transcends our understanding.
