Paul Warren Poems

Do you remember him and how he was
With no need for apology in his cause

There is nothing better than a beer with a mate
...

The search for truth is what you'll see
To piece the facts together so easily
What they perceive will be individual
And what they'll remember will be residual
...

I want to be like everyone else
To run and laugh with others
I don't want to be different
Seeing others having fun
...

At first he ran from the Austro-Hungarian army call
To Munich as an artist painting buildings for sale to all
He was not successful and nearing the end of his tether
When the Great War came along volunteering in the first army gather
...

Aborigines in a blessing for all to see
Sing and have a smoking ceremony
To show the link to their land
Eucalyptus leaves are burnt by hand
...

Some days you wake up and all's well
The sun is shinning and you're feeling swell
Take that deep breath and and the air is clean
The world is a great place do you know what I mean?
...

Legends build on history's page
Their achievements all for others to gauge
But what make's them to be outstanding?
Was it within themselves to be so demanding?
...

How long does it take to be forgiven?
Do you try to make amends and so be driven
If it is up to me I have had enough
I don't care any more I just want to get on with other stuff
...

People look to me for an answer
When sometimes all I have heard is banter
To stand in place and not away to race
Is something that I have had to face
...

Where is the light of good for all to see?
What is it that we strive to do or be?
Is it the truth or justice for all or just for all to be free?
Why should the ones who suffer most be too young to see?
...
