Paul Warren Poems

Saw the ghost of Bradman
Strolling out onto the Oval
On a Summer's afternoon
And I heard the sound of leather on Willow
...

Remember the good times we say
The laughter and the fellowship stay
When we gathered together at a meal or barbecue
And the stories we would tell grew
...

Some days it gets past me
What people say or do you see
In a modern world that's changed
And how people think is rearranged
...

In a motel room he blew a man away
A shotgun to the face was the play
He said would it went all wrong
In a drug bust where mercy didn't belong
...

I went looking for God
To comprehend the world
The wonders of everything
Made me think there is a plan
...

All I know now is I'm against it
For me you see it will never fit
And just look at all of you
Sheep being told what to do
...

Why did the DNA plan make me
The way I now appear to be
And why can the sky be so blue
As clouds float by me too
...

What do I remember now
I see it again and wonder how
I did those things that were asked of us
And never thought to raise a fuss
...

Body shirts and platform shoes
Discos and push back dos
The Bee Gees Staying Alive
Do you get the Disco jive
...

I marched the roads of the Western Front
To stem the tide of the Germans brunt
And stayed in the mud and blood churned ground
Of No Man's Land and won to our victory bound
...
