Paul Warren Poems

As you get older
Do you see clearer now
Or is it that the clutter is less
Some things that seemed important
...

The algorithms are at work today
Gathering information of what you do or say
Google and Facebook work away
Gathering data about you in every way
...

Tabby's star is 1300 light years from earth
And at times the light dims by 20% in its girth
This is happening again and scientists are busy
Collecting data whilst the Tabby's Star is hazy
...

What ends the night
And brings the day
In your time
Just wasting away
...

The old man looked at his hands
Scarred and callused as the work demands
He had bent his back building things
A weathered brow is what hardship brings
...

It was 1942 a year after the Pearl Harbour attack
When Hawaiian radar picked up a plane as a fact
So a patrol was scrambled to seek it out
And they encountered a P40fighter flying alone
...

I awoke in the dark
Not knowing what was my part
Black and white was all
Greys fading as down I fall
...

What does it matter
If each of your waking moments
Is spent looking up
Waiting and wondering
...

Is it old wisdom
When seeking aged counsel
Or wisdom of years
...

Remembrance for them
Means that we will honour them
Sacrifice for us.
...
