I met Clinton at a benefit for teachers, which was a very good charity, but I met him for about 90 seconds, and I thought it was important to meet the leader of the free world. So I stood next to him for a photograph, and then apparently that's all it takes.

Picking Teachers For Their Leader
Strangers!
Come before the darkness of night,
Crawls.
As twilight escorts the rising moon!
Strangers...
Known in dreams.
Whisper of their presence unseen.
But felt...
By a familiar comfort embraced.
My steps cease to seek a quickened pace.
There is no wish for leaving.
I am told in my mind I should stay.
Soft voices dance within rainbowed light!
Sparkling to convince...
I should pray with faith.
And they would make my life right!
Picking teachers for their Leader.
For the One never shown.
The One who through scriptures...
Repeated to make appear,
But left still for them to go unknown.
Picking teachers for their Leader.
How they do it like it's done...
When they come,
Nobody knows.
Their picking teachers for their Leader.
They say He's number One.
Like none other like He,
Upon me with gifts bestowed!
Strangers!
Come before the darkness of night,
Crawls.
As twilight escorts the rising moon!
Strangers...
Known in dreams.
Whisper of their presence unseen.
But felt...
By a familiar comfort embraced.
Their picking teachers for their Leader.
As God demands.
Their picking teachers for their Leader.
As God Commands.
Their picking teachers for their Leader.
And I understand...
Something that I give,
Must be done with giving hands.
And instantly I'm comprehending...
My relationship with my fellowman.
Their picking teachers for their Leader.
Picking teachers for their Leader.
Their picking teachers for their Leader.
Picking teachers for their Leader
Picking teachers for their Leader.
Picking teachers for their Leader!
Strangers!
Come before the darkness of night,
Crawls.
As twilight escorts the rising moon!
Strangers...
Known in dreams.
Whisper of their presence unseen.
But felt...
By a familiar comfort embraced.
Their picking teachers for their Leader.
Picking teachers for their Leader.
Their picking teachers for their Leader.
Picking teachers for their Leader
Picking teachers for their Leader.
Picking teachers for their Leader!

61 Seconds
J. spinks
Without a word Id know what to say
If you stared at me my eyes would refuse to stray
61 seconds is all it takes
For the 9 to 5 man to be more than one minute late
Theres a clock on the wall
A mirror reflecting it all
Just an imageless photograph
To wake up not knowing where I am today
I dont drive the same car
I dont live the same way
(chorus)
61 seconds is all it takes
For the 9 to 5 man to be more than one minute late
Theres a clock on the wall
A mirror reflecting it all
Just an imageless photograph
Theres a space in a frame
Can you imagine a man with no name
I can, I can, I can
(chorus)

Teachers Affect Eternity
Tolerant, supportive and sympathetic teachers are the best
While most seem ideal, some shouldn't teach at all.
Great teachers find their work fruitful and rewarding
As they pass on their knowledge with love as their call.
Good physical and mental health are important
For teachers must have energy, stamina and determination.
To shoulder their duties as shepherds of thought
Passing on wisdom to each generation.
In the words of Henry Adams, ' Teachers affect eternity
You can never tell where their influence will cease.'
As the teachers of the Bible spread their message
Their students learned of war, faith, love, death and peace.
Teachers world over have the same basic goal
To help others mature, reason, accomplish and grow.
They instruct, inform, debate and discipline
Teaching the rudiments of life we should know.
17
17 seconds of compassion
17 seconds of peace
17 seconds to remember love is the energy
behind which all is created
17 seconds to remember all that is good
17 seconds to forget all your hurt and pain
17 seconds of faith
17 seconds to trust you again
17 seconds of radiance
17 seconds to send a prayer up
17 seconds is all you really need

Seconds To Fall
Well it took years to climb that hill
And now we look up to the mountains
As high as you might climb there still
Something we should not forget
It takes seconds to fall
Seconds to fall
Could happen that you can scratch the clouds
Could happen that you come tumbling down
Could be you find yourself at the top of the stairs
Could be youre just another clown
It takes seconds to fall, yeah
Seconds to fall
Seconds to fall, oh yeah
At the top of the stairs, nobody cares
What has been, or what will come
I dont want to preach, no Im not the one
But you better hear me call
It takes seconds to fall, yeah
Seconds to fall
Seconds to fall
Seconds to fall

Happy Teacher’s Day in India,2010
Teachers teach students to learn;
Teachers show them how to earn;
Teachers guide students to read;
Teachers help them if they need.
Teachers share with pupils, ken;
Teachers show them how to pen;
Teachers train them in most things;
Teachers make them good earthlings!
Teachers mould their character;
Teachers act facilitator;
Teachers are a boon on earth;
Teachers bring students, mirth!
Teachers care for children-wards;
Teachers don’t expect rewards;
Teachers slog throughout life-span;
Teachers make them man / woman.
Teachers are a humble lot;
Teachers make learning, an art;
Teachers perform well their part;
Teachers love students in heart!
Teachers are next to parents;
Teachers are a nation’s wealth;
Teachers make a student great;
Teachers are a must for all.
Revere teachers on this Day;
Thank them truly in some way;
Emulate them, if you may;
‘Give them good health, God’, you pray!
“Happy Teachers’ Day! ”
Most lovingly dedicated to all my teachers,
Living and dead, who made me,
‘What I am, today! ’

Teacher’s Day 2007
Just once a year, comes just one day,
To remember our teachers dear;
To honor them in every way,
And thank them for whatev’r we are!
The world can’t be without teachers-
Such selfless souls unparalleled;
What parents couldn’t do, they reached us,
No matter if they hit or yelled!
The love, they showed, we can’t give back;
Their punishments were also love;
They disciplined our lives for us,
And taught us lessons without fuss!
God bless our teachers on this day;
God meet their needs in every way;
God help me meet them and then say,
‘Oh, thank you teacher, you’re my Fay! ’

88 Seconds In Greensboro
88 seconds
Is all it takes
88 seconds
Dont make mistakes
Weve seen you
We can see you
In red and blue
In black and white
Under crystal skies
In full daylight
You know it
God you know it
88seconds
Is all it takes
In 88 seconds
We dont make mistakes
We know you
Oh yes we have known you
Times are changing
But not in our street
Once we played there
Like the good times
You know it
God you know it
Theyre heading for
A shallow grave
With a big black cross
By a tall white house
To a place down south
We wont forget
To be stabbed in the back
By a man they met
In 88 seconds
In greensboro
88 seconds
In greensboro
88seconds
In greensboro
Is all we take

Seconds
All day
Hiding from the sun
Waiting for the golden one
Waiting for your fame
After the parade has gone
Outside was a happy place
Every face had a smile like the golden face
For a second
Your knuckles white as your fingers curl
The shot that was heard around the world
For a second
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds of your time to take his life
Seconds
Seconds
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds
For a second
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds
It took seconds of your time to take his life
It took seconds
For a second
It took seconds of your time to take his life
Seconds of your time to take his life
For a second
For a second
For a second

Teacher’s Day
Obey your teachers, everyone;
Respect your teachers, everyone;
Remember your teachers, everyone.
Heed to what they teach in class.
Like/ love your teachers, if superb;
Emulate your teachers exemplary;
Reward them for their excellence;
Be humble to them all through your life;
Thank your teachers for good things done;
Forgive your teachers, if they’ve wronged;
Pray to God to bless their lives on earth always.
Never mock;
Never hate;
Never anger;
Never belittle;
Never ridicule;
Never humiliate:
Your teachers anytime.
Be proud of all your teachers
Of your school and college;
Help them if they should ask;
Assist them in each task;
A teacher is a gift from God;
Thank God for your part!

Spunky
Spunky dont like her uniform
It never fit so good
Going back to the orphanage
And the place where her garage once stood
Well its a free-for-all
Free-for-all, free-for-all
Its a free-for-all you and me
And if you dont like what they are telling you
You cant teach a blind man to see
Well I can see
Spunky looks good in her bright red wig
Eating chocolate chip mint ice cream
A cat named lola with a violent past
Is balled-up asleep cross her knees
And its a free-for-all
Free-for-all, free-for-all
Its a free-for-all you and me
One day the world will be ready for you
And wonder how they didnt see
Spunky knows she can save the world
In her own little way
Turning in her old uniform
cause you know it really didnt pay
cause its a free-for-all
Free-for-all, free-for-all
Its a free-for-all you and me
Ill walk through the world with your name on my tongue
And your picture etched on my screen

Ode to Teachers
Ode to Teachers
Teachers are not just people whose job is to teach
Teachers are not just people who grade our papers or stand at the front of the classroom
Teachers are not just people who give us homework
No!
Teachers are part of our life
Never to be forgotten
Teachers are like steps that help us
Help us make it to the top
To be a greater person
To exceed expectations
They prepare us for great outside world
With its stone cold heart
Where if we trip and fall on our face
It will laugh at us
But because of our teachers
Our wonderful teachers
We remember to get back up

Dejavu
when you see a face or place in your mind
and it takes you back in time.
when you feel that you've been there with
someone with whom to share
the joys and sorrows of yesteryear.
for those few seconds when life stood still
and you seemed to be climbing a hill.
just to see whats on the other side.
and what it could possibly be
that something that's attracting me.
in those few seconds you find a life gone by.
but you can't remember-no matter how you try.
then you think its just dejavu.
but! is it really true?

He Killed Me
I benefit him, who killed me,
Yet the puzzle is so complicated
That I benefit him.
My name concentrates on him,
He killed me, and designed my thought.
I may inhibit his behavior by talking,
By recommending and teaching,
Also to rely on his children
And call me what I am supposed to be called.
I need no mood better than him,
But next he killed my children
And left the city, for another reward
With the teaching and teachers.

Leader Of The Pack
Is she really going out with him?
Yeah, I dont know, there she is
Lets ask her
Betty? is that johnnys ring youre wearing?
Aha!
Wow, it must be great riding with him
Yeah, is he picking you up after school today?
A-a!
By the way, whered you meet him?
I meet him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
Do you get the picture?
Yes, we see
Thats when I fell for the leader of the pack
My folks were always putting him down
(down, down)
The said that he came from
The wrong side of town
(wrong side of town)
Theyd told me he was bad
But I know he was sad
Thats why I fell for the leader of the pack
One day my dad said, find someone new
I had to tell my johnny were through
He stood there and asked me why
But all I could do was cry
Im sorry I hurt you, the leader of the pack
Well, he sort of smiled and kissed me goodly
And the tears began to fall
And as he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard me Ill never know
Look out, look out, oh look out!
I felt so helpess, what could I do
Remembering all the things wed been through
At school theyd all stop and stare
I cant have a chance but I dont care
Ill never forget him the leader of the pack...
The leader of the pack, now hes gone...

Ten Seconds To Love
Here I come
My mind is set
Get ready for love
Youre my ten second pet
(verse)
Touch my gun
But dont pull my trigger
Lets make history
In the elevator
Or lock the door
Shine my pistol some more
Here I cum
Just ten seconds more
(chorus)
Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Pull my trigger
My guns loaded with your love
Ten seconds to love
Ten seconds to love
Just wait honey
Till I tell the boys about you
Bring a girlfriend
Maybe bring two
I got my camera
Make a star outta you
Lets inject it
Photograph it
Down to the subway
Let the boys have it
(chorus)
(talk)
Reach down low
Slide it in real slow
I wanna hear your engine roar
Before Im in the door
(solo)
(talk)
You feel so good
Do you want some more
I got one more shot
Before Im out the door
(chorus)
(talk)
Was it hot for you
Did you fire this round
The second that Im through
Ill be leaving this town
