Paul Warren Poems

What does love of country mean?

Is it fondness for the place where you were born
And you know what for you is the norm
...

When you have government by bean counter
Common sense seems to be on the outer
You have allocation of money to agencies
Who then sub-contract out service in fantasies
...

Cold wet and windy
Out of season wild weather
Dry and Hot next day.
...

Concrete in the sun
All day beating down on it
Always wear your shoes
...

Make a project in each part
Managing each piece is an art
Break it down to manageable pieces
Allocation is the word for machine greases
...

Looking for a sunny day
There is no use wasting away
Pick a cool evening breeze
That will do more than please
...

Do you feel the north wind blow
As it guides your way home to go
For those South Aussies who do roam
From their Southern Cross sky filled home
...

Did you want to be
The White Knight
On his steed
Saving all
...

How do I tell
If it's the beginning
Or the end
It seems that something
...

Have you wondered what started the Big Bang blast
When there was the start of the universe so fast
And the cosmos started expanding and developing
That eventually made this world and everything
...
