Paul Warren Poems

The older I get the more I carry
I have three pairs of glasses now
For computing, sunglasses and everyday
Then there are a couple of pills
...

Run for all your life
There is dissent that is rife

Run away from it all
...

Walk together to the top of a hill
Breath deep and take your fill
Feel the gentle breeze fluttering
Your shirt as the sun is warming
...

The look inside his eyes
Saw the reasons you'd despise
The evil he had inside
He would not let anything slide
...

Are the war clouds gathering again
With North Korea sabre rattlin' then
Missiles primed at a thousand miles
Korean generals applauding and all smiles
...

Insecurities wash over me
Have I seen all there is to be
Mulling over in my mind
What will I eventually find
...

Once and a while I think
Recalibration of my life on the brink
On something new within your life
Will it be born of trouble and strife
...

What sort of beggars deal
Was this his life for real
Did he bargain hard
For what was just a yard
...

We read the logs of the abandoned ship
Looking for a reason why the crew was stripped
From the vessel drifting without power
Blasted weapon systems saw they did not cower
...

The working man had five sons
He had dreams of what they would become

The eldest was not very strong
...
