Court
i stromed into the courtroom
in confidence as assumed
stood tall
got my skinny jeans from the mall
put on a straight face
ready to fight for my case
my sister crying tears
i hid all fears
mom's nostrals flarred
lie; if he dared
put my files on the table
today tears are unable
seen his eyeballs wide
now he can't hide
smiled in reassuranced
that he doesn't have a chance
i have the truth
he will be in a prison cell
they will know he did rape me
i promise they will see
is justice in my courtroom?

Rare Gesture
Yes “Amineh” she was and so beautiful
My eyes became wet and tearful
When I saw her coming out of courtroom
There was powerful joy and no gloom
Her attacker was given sentence
Whole courtroom was tense
“Eye for an eye” court pronounced
Majid, the attacker was completely silenced
Amineh was really rose and attractive
No one dared to approach her to make submissive
She had her own way to live with joy
But Majid had ill wish at her to enjoy
When she was in street at night
The stars may twinkle at her sight
Such beautiful creation was having eclipse
Soon was to be destroyed his lovely face and lips
She refused to surrender at his request
That was only her fault to meet with rest
The blind man turned complete hostile
The acid was thrown on her face meanwhile
Her world darkened and lost the chance
To live with dram boy happily at once
Where will she go now and hide her face?
She was left behind with no future to trace
She died every moment to get justice
Majid got imprisonment with notice
Today the sentence was pronounced
“Eye for an eye” verdict was announced
Amineh watched the death shadow on his face
She wanted death fear to be seen in any case
The fear shadow completely silenced people
She thought for a while and sensed the trouble
“Why death for death” her soul revolted
She prayed for sentenced to be jolted
Lesser punishment for crime committed
Since the crime was in earnest proved and admitted
She had waited for this glorious day
Humanity at heart had not dragged her away
She left it to the almighty and wisdom
Such cases of generosity are heard seldom
Amineh.. Girls name.. Majid.. name… Recent case in Iran

The Misty Rain
Today I stand here all alone in the Misty Rain
Contemplating where it is I went wrong again
And as I stand here all alone I realize on my own
Tears that fall aren't hidden at all in the Misty Rain
I could not help as your memories flooded in on me
So overwhelmed and alone with this pain
As I stood alone and the rain came down on me
Tears that fall aren't hidden at all in the Misty Rain
The Misty Rain doesn't care at all of my heart
It doesn't care at all my world is torn apart
But one would think while I am standing in the rain
Somehow it would hide the tears when they came
And as I stood alone I thought of you
I just can't help myself I'm still in love with you
To stop loving you I know I never will
Although I try to fight It is so against my will
And as I stood alone the memories came again
And in the rain again I suffered again the pain
And as the tears they fell I too realized
Tears that fall aren't hidden at all in the Misty Rain.

Brown To Blue
We stood there in the courthouse room so close but far apart
You brought along the lawyer and I brought a broken heart
The judge pronounced the words the way you wanted him to do
You changed your name from brown to jones and mine from brown to blue
I couldnt help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor
My love, they took away my right to love you anymore
My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you
You changed your name from brown to jones and mine from brown to blue
The judge forgot to tell me how Id live my life alone
What I would do without you after loving you so long
He didnt seem to care that Im still in love with you
You changed your name from brown to jones and mine from brown to blue
I couldnt help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor
My love, they took away my right to love you anymore
My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you
You changed your name from brown to jones and mine from brown to blue

If you take the cameras out of the courtroom, then you hide a certain measure of truth from the public.
The mirrors here
The mirrors here
They reflect my deep desire...
And what it aspire...
The mirrors are tears
The desire is rape, fears
But it always mirror...
Is that my wish today is you
Your smile, hot for a while
Same do not knowing if you do it too
I'm like a child, getting wild
The mirrors here
Are a glass cover
Making me over...
The mirrors are tears
The cover is cold, years
What makes me excited...
Is that my wish today is you
Your wisdom, your freedom
I trust in moon
I want to listen the flute, true
Don't run, I can't
The sun tears can hurt deep
Without I feel very weak
I know I'll never stand
Stay, Give me fondling
The moon trust in the power from lovers
So we could keep us touching
So, trusting, we could be under covers
The mirrors here
They reflect my deep desire...
And what it aspire...
The mirrors are tears
The desire is rape, fears
But it always mirror...

The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll
William zanzinger killed poor hattie carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
At a baltimore hotel society gathrin.
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
As they rode him in custody down to the station
And booked william zanzinger for first-degree murder.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now aint the time for your tears.
William zanzinger, who at twenty-four years
Owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres
With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him
And high office relations in the politics of maryland,
Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders
And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling,
In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now aint the time for your tears.
Hattie carroll was a maid of the kitchen.
She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didnt even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level,
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
And she never done nothing to william zanzinger.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now aint the time for your tears.
In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel
To show that alls equal and that the courts are on the level
And that the strings in the books aint pulled and persuaded
And that even the nobles get properly handled
Once that the cops have chased after and caught em
And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom,
Stared at the person who killed for no reason
Who just happened to be feelin that way without warnin.
And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished,
And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance,
William zanzinger with a six-month sentence.
Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Bury the rag deep in your face
For nows the time for your tears.

Crying
(coverdale/vandenberg)
I smell trouble
And where theres smoke
There must be fire...
You sow your seeds of jealousy
And the flames
Just keep on growing higher...
This cant be love anymore,
I know, cause Ive done
Everything I can...
And all that you can do
I pour gasoline
On a burning man...
Tears of rage, tears of pain,
Burning my eyes,
I realise, Im crying...
Crying... Im crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...
Lies...
I can never understand,
You play your cards under the table,
Dealing me a losing hand...
Tears of rage, tears of pain,
Burning my eyes,
I realise, Im crying
Crying... Im crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...
Crying, always crying, crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...
I want to be there
When your demons come to call...
Im gonna finish what you started, baby,
Watch you burn little house down,
Burn it down, down, down...
Then Ill see you crying,
Crying... crying...
Bitter tears falling like rain...

When Two Hearts Say Goodbye
There's no sense in crying
You've made up your mind
And how can I convience you
When it 's all over this time
I hide the tears from showing
Just to play it strong inside
But my heart knows the truth
For every tear I try to deny
When Two Hearts Say Goodbye
I seen you walking along today
You smiled and said hello
My heart knew you very well
As I tried to stop the tears flow
I played it off so damn good
As you turned and walked away
Thinking of so much we shared
And how you thrown it away
When Two Hearts Say Goodbye

ll Be crying
'll Be crying tears if some of my wounds heal
'll Be crying crying child lost compassion
'll Be crying to wipe some tears filled my grief
'll be crying and the tears stream around me
'll Be crying'll be crying and the remainder of my life
'll be crying to drown in my tears
'll Be crying in the coffin and bury my grief
'll Be crying.. 'll Be crying.. 'll Be crying

O 2011! The year is not good for killers, dictators, liars & etc.,

And if you take the cameras out of the courtroom, then you hide, I think, a certain measure of truth from the public, and I think that's very important for the American public to know.
In the courtroom of the conscience, a case is always in progress.
Money will determine whether the accused goes to prison or walks out of the courtroom a free man.

Confidence Trick
Never meant to hurt you, I dont know why
You come with your lawyers and your alibi
How can you look me straight in the eye
When you know
The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why
There you go with your confidence trick
Im much too wise, you dont fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie
I never really knew you all these years
You lied to my face while I undressed your fears
Then you set me a-sail on an ocean of tears
Said goodbye
The clock on the wall is ticking real slow
Theres nothing to say and theres nowhere to go
You know why
You know why
There, there you go with your confidence trick
Im much too wise, you dont fool me a bit, no no
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie
Its a lie
Looking up to the truth of what you are
Blinding all colours and beauty
And the sparkle in your eye is blinding
The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why
Why, why, why, why, why, why
There, there you go with your confidence trick
Im much too wise, you dont fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie
Its a lie, lie
(the truth is, the truth is a lie)
(repeats in background)
And you never stopped loving me
Choaking back tears for you
So lovable
And we never go
And we never know
See Im over
But Im under
I dont ever wanna come down
I dont ever wanna come down
I dont ever wanna come down
To where you are

Tears
Eyes are adored by everyone
but tears have their own tale to tell
understands none, the anguish & pain
of tears that are confined to the cell.
Flow of tears lightens one
none, call it shock
dropp of a tear is heartache
repressing tears, anger’s knock.
Sensitivity makes tears to flow
heartless has no tears to show
absence of tears making redundant, as it should
youthfulness and charming childhood.
Naked is the truth, tears make us weep
a lover for beloved, one loves so deep
mother’s feelings bring pearl like tears
sowing emotions, tears we reap.
Pointless, to shed tears for nothing
never squander tears for everything
tears denote emotional distress
a famine, a quack or extreme stress.
Imprisoned tears whenever freed
none is left who doesn’t grieve
shed the tears, but of happiness
and cheerfully, not of sadness.

Rain Tears
Rain, tears, rain, tears,
Melding in torrential fears:
Chill of cloud; saddened eye-
In either way, a latent cry.
Rain, tears, rain, tears,
Married under sceptic jeers:
‘They'll never last.' Methinks not true, for
Either way, forever blue.
Rain, tears, rain, tears,
Simple love with lacy cares,
Their intercourse will ne'er refrain
From rain and tears and tears and rain.

Tears We Cry
Tears we cry, tears we cry
Sometimes tears Kalahari dry
Tears we cry, tears we cry
For others many tears
In us for us many fears
For us we haven't tears
Their aches hurt so
But our heartaches hurt too
Why then do we for theirs cry so?
Mine tears don't for me flow
Tears for they my mind blow
Like a virgin turn whore
Went to a funeral
Of a relation to my fellow
How my heart felt hollow
In my gran'pa's requiem
I cried, but not a single scream
Friends spiced my cry like cream
We have wells for their tears
And deserts for our fears' tears
Tears we cry, for they that we cry

I Have Learnt A Lot
Two charges of conspiracy to commit crime and stealing to a thief,
The re-appearance of a case with surety!
But it was like a rude and of a provocative act to destroy your name.
This is like the wax-style status to tell the difference when,
Somebody shouted 'U.N.H.C.R.' for help! !
But, what about the refugees left down there in the bush?
No cause for an apology and no cause for an alarm!
But, who is ready for this bail?
And with loyalty and support for this muse so seen,
For i want to know who the real prophets are on this case.
I'm passing through the tricky terrain with my head,
And of the conspiracy and the charges being raised against the thief!
But of the decorum and of the factionalisms around,
And being perceived by the act of humanity to win the case.
Of the soul-feelings and of the heart-searching,
And to the polarisation of this case like a bird;
For the progressive act of your love is now in chains,
But it was like a rude and of a provocative act to destroy your name.
Uuuuh! Weee-eeh! ! I have learnt a lot on this case;
And with the progressive alliance of a very high note,
But this thief is now on the trial because of the charges.
I am moved to the point of tears because he is a man of high ideals,
And i am overwhelmed to express my sincre appreciations;
But what have you to say on this issue and of his tendency?
For he was caught rear handed.
An absolute exhibit was the case,
And categorically pictured with the things at hand;
For it was grafted to an embezzled case in the courtroom but,
With no trusted lawyer because of the act of nepotism around!

Tears You Cant Hide
Now I see tears you cant hide
Carry the world on your back
Heavy weights tear you apart
Now I see tears you cant hide
Feel in a rage cant speak up for yourself
All that you try to do its no good anyway
Now I see tears you cant hide
No use saying its a crime
Voices surround me but they lie, lie
Hold out your hand together make your stand
You may be alone you may feel scared inside
Now I see tears you cant hide
No use saying its a crime
Voices surround me but they lie, lie
(just hit me with your saxophone, lee)
Now I see tears you cant hide
Now I see tears you cant hide
Now I see tears you cant
Tears you cant tears you cant hide
