Paul Warren Poems

What makes for this world?
Where violence is upheld
And people lose their life
When others are troubled by inner strife
...

I've just watched a lizard that runs on top of the water
You would think it would sink like any weight oughta
But this is a lizard that fascinates me
And runs on top of the water as light as can be
...

Do we need tomorrow?
Or is it just a chance to borrow
Some more time
In our mind
...

I'm chasing a rainbow for a sunny day
It always seems to be further away you see
And the rain will always go away
But the rainbow is out of reach for me
...

What does it take
To walk up to a person to make
A murder for someone leaving for home
And now is shot dead and forever gone
...

Lying dead on an operating table
Blood everywhere was the end of their struggle
What do we now do - does his family come through?
How do they see him in this state true?
...

We go to the viewing room
It is stark and the family will be there soon
The bright light won't hide the hole
So we put a white towel around his head whole
...

There is a time to laugh and sing
To think of a brighter life to bring
And leave the sadness of the world behind
To seek out the sun and fun to find
...

The search for immortality
We all would like a place in eternity
The question is how are we remembered
After our deaths to have our memory extended
...

What makes people seethe so that anger is bred?
Is it a piece of cloth around a lady's head
A religion that is not the same
Or the colour of your skin that's not in your frame
...
