Paul Warren Poems

The red sand blows in
As the wall of dust is built
What does it hide now.
...

Winter's sun is cold
Icy clouds high in the sky
Chill winds blow on through.
...

When people work to accomplish things
In the pitting against what nature brings
It surprises in what you can learn
And I find myself and how I yearn
...

Being immortal may not be
All that you would want to see
Mortality means that the stronger survive
So with each generation the tools to stay alive
...

Is civilisation our answer to death
That makes us create things in depth
Like art, religion, science and the arts
Leaving behind things that will last
...

Do you get what you deserve
From what others observe
Or is it from what you perceive
And if you don't get it do you grieve
...

Facing up to your flaws
Is meaning you want more

From yourself in your misgiving
...

The chase commenced on the Port road
It continued in the streets in high speed mode
Disobeying red traffic lights in danger made
The driver and his crew in quite an escapade
...

In the early morning twilight
Before the sun shines bright
There are phantoms wandering around
And the cannon fire is an eerie sound
...

To die for a sister or brother is a noble thing
To be broken by the battle is the hymn we sing
But in the end there is no glory at the bugle's call
Just death and deathly silence ringing after all
...
