Paul Warren Poems

If I could change the world just one time
What is it that I would have in my mind?
Would it be that I would be rich in money
Or to take for this life the sweet runny honey
...

Do I see them as they will need to know?
That for their loved one tears will flow
They are standing there not wanting to hear
How a loved one died who was so very dear
...

On 8 March 1977 on a balmy warm night
Abba came to South Australia in a concert just right
It was the first time I performed duty in a screaming crowd
With all the hits played as 1970's glam rock so loud
...

So BMW regret working people to death during World War Two
Not feeding them properly, sheltering them and long hours too
In the hundred years that they are now celebrating business
They were building engines, cars and aeroplanes for the Nazi mess
...

Life has its twists and turns for us all
And you won't know what will be god's call
We were young and looking to a first born birth
And did all that was asked in our earthly girth
...

Don was the best player of the Southern Sons football team
The way he ran up and down the ground was the coach's dream
Each game he played they could see his strength, skill and style
And no-one could catch him when he wanted to run a mile
...

We sat on the side of the road in the hot sun
Putting up a cordon for their criminal run
The cars were stopped and we questioned all
About two men who took the safe out of the bank's hall
...

Will good prevail
Will evil fail
Will tyrants fall
Will the meek stand tall
...

My hands were trembling some
As I stumbled over my words begun
Her breath quicken as I whispered my love
For all time as the bright moon shone above
...

Look at their eyes as they talk to you
You will find out what they are thinking too
Their eyes give them away no matter what
They are saying to you in their story's plot
...
