Paul Warren Poems

The old legend said the dead come back
So bury them deep down the cemetery track
For the ground elsewhere is sour and unclean
And to do so would mean the dead were seen
...

Computers make decisions for the government
As to who will be in or out in the judgement

So decisions affecting people's future made
...

The family home was abandoned there
With no one within miles to come to care
And the last surviving brother and son
Had moved away to the city in his own life won
...

I told my enemy that I would settle it eventually
If it took me forever to track him down you see
But things don't always go as you plan it to be
And the ambush set by his cronies killed me
...

I ride along the dog proof fence
To repair it as the dingo defence
I like it because I am by myself
Under the sun and stars is my wealth
...

Walk on the wild side
So the old song rides
As you talk it through
So cool to think of it too
...

In Belgium I walked the Deadman's Road
Seemingly a dirt road of no consequence
It is not even sealed in 100 years history
But when Pozieres was part of the Western Front
...

The Zulu were great African warriors
Ruling Central African harshly, history will infer
And they defeated the British in battle
Shaking their 19th Century Empire as rattled
...

It was such a wonderful day
One you don't waste today
The sun was a yellow ball
And not a drop of rain at all
...

I was looking at my music collection
Which in its day was music perfection
But now it is the golden oldies tradition
For playing at a drive in movie intermission
...
