Paul Warren Poems

Two standing together gives an edge
Where you are together in your pledge
A righteous cause that has justice for all
Can bring people all together in your call
...

Where do the years go
They certainly don't go slow
Some things are worth remembering
And others a lot less for the rendering
...

The rider left from Port Augusta town that fine day
Carrying a letter to the Grey homestead in his way
But he was lost on the trail through Pichi Richi Pass
Last seen riding from Hawker town on his morning last
...

The razor's keen edge stretches on
Don't make a wrong move as the fall is long
Each step you take needs to be measured and straight
Remember to keep a move up your sleeve to give you some weight
...

I think back to our Fort Largs drill instructor
One Fred Knight an old Guardsman soldier
He fought the Germans in the Desert War
Then came to Australia as a 10 pound Pom settler
...

Moments of time now caught in the act
For every event there is a video to look back
We look to Facebook in social media to know
When someone will post a look see show
...

Extremes seem to attract people in this world
To join in a point of view radical to be held
Marching behind banners and preaching hatred
As it is portrayed as being a mission that's sacred
...

As the intruder I look for a way in
And for people with a dark side within
I know you all have something to hide
When in your dark side I can abide
...

We have our flaws that will be
If you like to focus on them to see
To break your hold upon your world
These flaws others see and are easily held
...

The dry dusty plain was bathed in late afternoon sun
The limestone walls crumbling and the front verandah done
I stopped my car and walked over to the farm cottage
And it looked as if there hadn't been anyone living there in an age
...
