Paul Warren Poems

Chill out they say
But how can I when time is wasting away

Take time to smell the roses
...

What gets under your skin?
Is it the meddling remarks
That are calculated to annoy
Once they see that it has needled
...

In the gulf between Somalia and Yemen
Two trillion dollars of trade travels from each world end
The sea is thick with pirates coming out from the coast
Looking to steal what they can from their attack post
...

Beef production continues across the world to grow
With 3 billion animals slaughtered for meat in this know
A cow is killed every 30 seconds in the beef producing nations
With the beef industry responsible for 2/3 rds of deforestation
...

Who walks with you?
Is it your life and all you do?
Do you review each step you make
And wonder again why you took the bait
...

If you could change the past
How would you do it to make it last
Each step that you take will influence other things
And so unintended consequences will be what it brings
...

Richard Sorge was a German who fought for Germany in the Great War
Who was injured with broken legs and lost of fingers as his wounds of war
He was invalided with an Iron Cross as an artillery man and soldier
Then after the war in 1920 he became a committed Communist officer
...

Cold seeps through my clothes
My nose is red and moutashe wet
And my breath is visible.
...

I don’t want a tape worm sucking away inside
For that would certainly dent my inner pride
My choice would be for an overactive thyroid
And to have my fat from my body to be devoid
...

I wake in the morning
My neck aches
And it takes time to focus
I need to rub my eyes to see
...
