Franklin J. Warren Poems

The rose's first blush fills the air,
With a fragrance beyond compare,
Like a siren song to a lover,
Alluring, a newness to discover!
...

When life's evening shadows fall,
And black spectra Death comes to call,
i shall not try to flee nor fight nor rail,
Nor fear that bony face so pale!
...

The masses never see the larger picture,
Too involved in biblical scripture,
They seem to need that crutch,
Of some deity that loves them much!
...

How can a global society believe,
in something they cannot perceive?
There are ten thousand religions,
Within this world's regions.
...

I no longer wish to be,
For i see mostly, stupidity,
A world devoid of intellect,
Any care circumspect!
...

When someone analyses your actions,
And finds things that are detractions,
Such as not seeing their self worth,
Nor understanding another's turf!
...

I am so appalled at what i see,
That sometimes i no longer wish to be,
The never ending push and drive,
Of those just trying to survive!
...

I wish there was a ubiquitous benign deity,
i would ask that he come and get me,
But i know it's just stupidity,
One would never allow what i see!
...

The fingers of time reach back to the place,
From which is the origin of the human race,
Back to the pea soup of happenstance,
And the realization that we are by chance!
...

Sunset's are varied in so many ways,
Sometimes only the beauty stays,
Long enough for one to appreciate,
The finality for that date!
...
