Paul Warren Poems

If you want to feel me
Walk a mile in my shoes
Just close my eyes
And feel what matters
...

Making war against children
So hateful and vile against innocence
How can a god let them into heaven
If your last act kills and maims
...

Is there anyone to look up to any more
In other days there were ones who knew the score
Leaders who would do what was required then
And excuses would not be needed in the end
...

What role do you play
As you live your life day to day
What do other people expect of you
Is there a way to act it through
...

Have an idea in your head
Don't dry up as you dread
Continue to write without a block
Surely there is more to say or mock
...

An asteroid collided with earth that was 10 kilometres wide
That wiped out the dinosaurs when they were fried
Putting stuff into the atmosphere for a two year winter
And this was what gave us mammals a kick starter sprinter
...

Albert Pierrepont was dubbed the Official Executioner of England
After first being Assistant Executioner as a family job on hand
Finally being made Chief Executioner after his father retired
And this was a part time job called to service as it transpired
...

A lick of paint to hide this thing
That is ugly in what it will bring
Bright colours that are cheery
Or beige or cream somewhat dreary
...

Drive in theatres in 1976 were the rage
When couples met in summers made
And Whyalla had its own one too
On Fridays and Saturdays audiences it drew
...

Hold on tight
To your dreams
As the right
To your future sunbeams
...
