Paul Warren Poems

I want to go to the Australian bush
And breath the fresh air as a rush
Just hear the kookaburras sing
And the freedom feeling it will bring
...

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
...

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
...

There was Louie the fly
Who'd want to fly by
There was Madge who
Soaked your hands in Palmolive goo
...

My grandma really liked to cook
Scones and cream cakes she didn't need a book
And she always let me lick the spoon
Cooking with her was always over too soon
...

The modern electronic age
Means what's online will gauge

Who you are in the world
...

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
...

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