Paul Warren Poems

The Black Knight is in orbit at the South Pole near
And they say it had been there for two thousand years
Maybe it was put there by aliens visiting earth
Something went wrong and it was abandoned as no worth
...

There will come a day I'm sure when people will get along
And you will see the good in the world and will sing its song
No children will be raised in fear and laughter will be a King
They will all be playing in the sunshine as their happy thing
...

Would the world be the same
If there was no tragedy in the game
Would we all just be able to sit and contemplate
And wonder at the world and what we make
...

Why don't they listen
Do they feel that they are right
So that you don't count!
...

Why don't they listen
Do they feel that they are right
So that you don't count!
...

We sat together one day
Over coffee in a trendy cafe
And pondered a question so easily asked
Hoping for an answer that would last
...

The HMAS Armidale was a convoy protecting corvette
That was built for the Second World War for the enemy to be met
Although it was planned to fight the Nazi world menace
They went to face the Japanese Imperial Navy in their Southern advance
...

Your life is for living
Don't have any misgiving
Each day is sacred you know
Don't be too scared to give it a go
...

Police - The one Copper Town

We started night shift in Whyalla town
The sergeant held the muster parade around
...

What ends the night
And brings the day
In your time
Just wasting away
...
