Paul Warren Poems

You find nothing new in that
It’s all falling kind of flat
You have seen it all before
And have always wanted more
...

We were tasked to attend one day
For a man chopping furniture away
He had done the dining room and chairs
And started on the lounge room furniture there
...

So far right parties are gaining power
In protest votes for the current hour
Who would have thought it would occur
After the fascists of the Second World War
...

I have a bar of colours on my chest that are meant
To signify my years of long public service I’ve spent
But what do they really mean as I look at them now?
Is it for some deeds I’ve done and never taken a bow?
...

I provided DNA to a Canadian laboratory for a test
I wanted to find my pedigree and if I was from the best
What I found was that I was related to all God created
In particular a certain black lady who lived and propagated
...

On sitting at my desk today
My apple was in delicious display
So I bit into it and now I find where the label ought to be
There now is half a one I see
...

You work together to form the strongest bond
Standing strong and sharing the dangers all along
Col was a young man with his life ahead of him
A marriage with a young daughter as his private hymn
...

I’ve been scooped away he told me that day
A spoonful at a time I feel all wasted away
At night I wake up after seeing them all again
The dead ones, the mutilated and my missing friends
...

I’ve been on a diet it is plain to see (I hope)
No cakes, milkshakes or pies for me (how sad)
I can’t bear it when I front for my meal (can’t miss it now)
I sometimes think what I eat is not real (no fat, no sugar, no taste)
...

I am Child of the Revolution you couldn’t fool
We still Love to Boogie as the golden rule
Jeepster -you’re so sweet your so fine
You will always be Hot Love so devine
