Paul Warren Poems

Does NASA air brush their photo album
The Apollo astronauts took in their voyage then
When UFOs were seen to fly on by
And light up their path across the sky
...

How much choice do I have to make
When finding my way in decisions I take
Is my path already set out for me
With God's grace and a path to see
...

Nothing lasts forever they say
All you have to do is wait it away
Until you see the end
So there's no need to pretend
...

Golden light chases night
As the world wakes anew now
Leave your bed jump in
...

A promise leaves your lips
As it floats to me sweetly
Is it now too late
...

I came outside and walked to the front yard
The neighbour's kittens were playing hard
As I walked close it became quite clear
They had a baby brown snake very near
...

They are craftsmen who know their work well
Their cameras on their shoulders with a story to tell
They have been around, seen and done it all
Making movies is their business in SAPOL's call
...

We who are left are called to your last parade
Standing in silence our memories do not fade
We leave the space where you once stood
And a tear runs down our cheeks as it should
...

To keep the Allies on the battlefield
Meant that the supply system had to yield
Cans of Bully beef for the soldiers to carry
After coming from the South American convoy ferry
...

There was a time when I thought I was strong
And nothing could hurt me and I'd get along
They gave me this blue suit and it made me a superman
And I would always be able to handle everything in a plan
...
