It was a cold day in September when you where slain
and on the coldest days i still feel that pain
We started as enemies in the school ground
2 young brother trying to prove a point
Ended up 2 young brother's sharing a joint
You showed us you talents in lyrical poetry
such words have never been spoken
and neva will that bond be broken
You showed us you talents in Break Dancing
The only one who could pull off the six step
And thats a memory we can neva forget
Small in frame but large in heart
never scared to speak your mind
Alas this is the reason you travelled blind
Blind to what lied ahead
If only you opened your eyes you would have seen
The path you where taking was terribly obscene
Hani Ghaled Jaber
It was a cold day in September when you where slain
But never will i allow your memory to die in vain

Yeah, yeah I scream...
With you on my mind so heavy and so hard
I dont know quite everything
You make me think of a better thing...
Better things to fill my day with
But they dont mean to go
Please dont be too bad with me, god
Please dont be too good...
Let some womens light, womens light
Chain my hands with me singing...
Hani hani, come and dance for me
Whoa, whoa, sooner there
Hani hani, come and dance for me
Only the brave
Hani hani, come and dance for me
(feeling the night)
Hani hani, come and dance for me
Lead me back home to life
You made heaven turn to dirt
And dirt turn to dance on
Heaven come my way
Baby surely do
Maybe some moonlight
Maybe some, baby surely do
Maybe some moonlight
Say this say this...
Hani hani, come and dance for me
Underneath the moonlight
Hani hani come and dance for me
Hani hani, come and dance for me
Come on, come on go
Hani hani, come and dance for me
Give it back, give it back....
Oh man, I cant talk
A man was tall and once tore a piece of freedom for us all
When, then, you least expect it
Man can cut from of his own heart
For us all, that man
Dont believe it, oh yeah....
God, two men slice and dice each other up in his place
They dont believe it...
Well leave it
Leave it lying, leave it lying, leave it lying
Got me singing
Hani hani, come and dance for me

A Sister's Promise
My brother full of fire
Living life with wild desire
Why do I seem to be so often
The object of your Ire?
I'm not stupid and I'm not crazy
I'm not cruel and I'm not lazy
I'm confused, its all so hazy
Moving through the fog this way.
He is screaming at me now
But it's not at me, I know some how
He's screaming at those who hurt him
Those who beat him and deserted him
Those who abused and defiled him
I just want to heal his pain
I will not allow our Kinship to be slain
Over words misunderstood or said in vain.
But all I can do is cry
As his arrows they do fly
Into the heart of me.
The bond of our Kinship
Stronger than a fleeting friendship
Will sustain us through our insanity
Until we see that we are free.
Love will heal and reveal
Our true humanity.
Love is never having to say your sorry.
For the pain that you inflict.
One day the chain of pain will be broken.
Only loving words will then be spoken.
I'll be your loving sister
Unto the very end,
For the one who is my brother
And not just another
passing friend.

Break My Stride
Last night I had the strangest dream,
I sailed away to China, in a little row boat to find ya,
and you said you had to get your laundry clean.
Didn't want no one to hold ya, what does that mean? And you said...
(chorus)
Ain't nothin' gonna break my break my stride,
nobody's gonna slow me down, oh no,
I've got to keep on movin'.
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride,
I'm never gonna walk such ground, oh no,
I've got to keep on movin'.
You're on the road and now you're plain as gone,
The road behind was rocky, but now you're feelin' cocky.
You look at me and you see your past.
Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast? And you said...
(chorus)
(neva neva 'nother guy like you)
Work me over...
(neva neva 'nother guy like you)
Drag me under...
(if i need another guy like you)
I would tell him...
(never want another guy like you)
Have to say...
HEY!
(chorus)(2x)
I've got to keep on movin' movin' movin' movi-in' oh oh
I've got to keep on movin
chorus repeats 'till fade....

September Grass
Well, the suns not so hot in the sky today
And you know I can see summertime slipping on away
A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turning red
But the grass is as soft as a feather in a featherbed
So Ill be king and youll be queen
Our kingdoms gonna be this little patch of green
Wont you lie down here right now
In this september grass
Wont you lie down with me now
September grass
Oh the memory is like the sweetest pain
Yeah, I kissed the girl at a football game
I can still smell the sweat and the grass stains
We walked home together. I was never the same.
But that was a long time ago
And where is she now? I dont know
Wont you lie down here right now
In this september grass
Wont you lie down with me now
September grass
Oh, september grass is the sweetest kind
It goes down easy like apple wine
Hope you dont mind if I pour you some
Made that much sweeter by the winter to come
Do you see those ants dancing on a blade of grass?
Do you know what I know? thats you and me, baby
Were so small and the worlds so vast
We found each other down in the grass
Wont you lie down with me right here
September grass
Wont you lie down with me now
In this september grass
Lie down
Lie down
Lie down
Lie down
(repeat)
Wont you lie down here right now
In this september grass
Wont you lie down here now
In this september grass

Once Upon a Cold September
Once upon a cold September
lay ashes of last December
came stories of old friends
never to be lost
on that December
Morning came
thoughts rose
time flew on the coast
evening of September
came lies to remember
sad but true they say
never showed a face again
on that stormy winter
Once on a cold September
on a bleak December
with time to remember

Heart Broken 2

neva again will i let it loose
neva again will it show the truth

Talents Die Easily In Africa!
Oh talents, oh talents!
Talents do die easily in Africa;
But, talents are special gifts which,
Money cannot buy.
It is a special gift,
It is in you,
You don't even need a Higher Degree for them;
Talents are everywhere on this earth.
The talents of Africa do die very often,
Who is even ready to listen to them?
The true talents of the Africans go to the drain.
Like a rain on a train,
Like an early wake up call without a view;
Life is really so strange over here in Africa.
I have a dream!
But, who will listen?
My brain is with various talents but,
Who will help me with my dreams?
Talents, talents, talents! !
Africa turns to regress in this field while,
Others do progress!
Our talents can be useful,
It's time we give a helping hand;
Oh talents, oh talents!
It's time we listen to those who have them;
Cos', we are the world.

September Star
In dedication to my little brother.
************************************* ********
As I look up at this September Star,
Twinkling like the headlights on a car,
Wondering - like many people abroad and afar,
How God sees how special we really are.
Me He protect me when school gets hard.
Teach me not to live like the pull of a random card
So I can continue to look upon this September Star.

Written In The Stars
O Voiceless comes a memory-
Through my makeshift neuron file-
Engineered by claims of pleasures past-
Once broken and in total denial;
Chained to a bitter cold winter...
Where many hopes are slain-
'Twas never quite mended-
And at the break of New Dawn - never the same;
We revisit this voiceless memory...
Where sticks and stones had their way! ! !
'Cross the creeks of the Zodiac Valley-
Where the chained nightmares have had their say;
Where constellations Of Leo and Libra above...
Fight tooth and nail for Virgo's hand-
Until Scorpio - on a mission of true devotion...
Takes a most star-studded stand;
'Come hither my sweet one'
Out of the Galaxies Mist...
'Forget, forget those cold bitter memories'
'That were left with your last kiss'
Embrace, embrace now my Starshine-
A new memory with a voice that does not fail...
Coming unto you - 'Sweet Star' - brand new-
Cleverly hidden from view - 'neath ebons- Starlit Veil;

Dancin round & round
(adam mitchell)
Im gonna go out tonight
Gonna feel alright
If it tears me right in two
cause I just cant stay feeling this way
With a heart thats full of you
Im gonna go right down
To a part of town
Where Ive never been before
And in some small place
Find a brand new face
And step out on the floor
And Ill be dancing round and round
And Ill be satisfied if I can just hold my ground
And if he helps me to keep your memory down
Ill be dancing round and round
Well you put some distance round you
I know I meant to see
Theres a space inside for someone
But I know it isnt me
So among the boys who are searching
And the girls who hope theyre found
If you look for me, Im the one youll see
Whos dancing round and round
And Ill be dancing round and round
And Ill be satisfied if I can just hold my ground
And if he helps me to keep your memory down
Ill be dancing round and round
Come on music, wash my tears away
Come on darkness, cover up the day
Dancing round and round
And Ill be satisfied if I can just hold my ground
And if he helps me to keep your memory down
Ill be dancing round and round
Ill be dancing round and round

Finding Me
I was the victim
I am the killer
Of a young man I left this September
He picked me up, showed me around
This shrouded, pretty mind I'd found
Nothing else matters, I do not think
The man in red, the girl in pink
I've found myself, the first time ever
And this is the way I'll stay forever
I am the killer
I was the victim
Of a shy guy left behind that September

My brother, his own father.
I have a brother,
When he was young, He was carefree,
I have a brother,
All grown up now, no more not free
I have a brother,
Who struggles to survive
I have a brother, at times be vain
Took my father in, took my father's pain.
I have a brother,
Who takes care of my mother,
Bless him, my brother,
He became his own father.

The Good Die Young
bullet shattered through
skin like broken glass
blood rains from the sky as a nation cry
all because another died
eyes barely opened to the world
feet still dry but now cold
as the good die young
before it all said and done
a mother lost a son
as his body returns to the sand
as it hard time when the good die young
no among of rain can watch
away the blood stained pavements
as am down on my knees
praying for my own salvation
seen so much brother die
and my god you along know why
the good the young
and the bad stay around

September
September approaches.
Laboring its pace,
From the haste of August
Delighting still...
With whirlwind gatherings.
September prepares...
With chopped wood,
And heat devices checked.
And fresh new experiences for some,
Beginning indoctrinations young!
Learning to start days...
With a discipline no one fully accepts,
Or expects anyone to ever crave!
Amusement parks begin to close.
Although the rollercoaster of holidays,
Will upon us all impose...
To exchange our carefree dispositions.
For the onslaught of traditions,
And schooling tuitions!
Yes...
This is the September that is known.
With a mixture of enlightenment that comes...
Textured with our groans!
As we get all of our choices set...
Remembering the quickness of September's plunge,
Can leave us cold on some days and on others in sweat!

The Amulet
The gift I received so long ago, I wore for
protection wherever i'd go.
Inside was your picture. You were my beau.
So many years have passed by since then
and now to my memory it comes once again.
I wrapped it in tissue the day that you died
and put it away until my tears dried.
My life seemed as if I never could find
the reason for living, as though I were blind.
Why did you leave me? Where did you go?
The days of my life, they moved too slow.
As I grew older my mind went to sleep.
The tears, my love I couldn't even weep.
And then one day a flash in my mind
told me there was something I had to find.
A pendant, a charm or an amulet?
Oh let me remember. Don't let me forget.
I searched and searched all over my rooms.
So much time had gone by, so many moons.
My closets, my drawers, I emptied them out.
Even the Bible I'd almost thrown out.
And then as I picked up the coat that I'd worn
to your funeral my dear that left me forlorn.
The memory of that, how could I forget?
Inside its pocket was my amulet.
I opened it slowly to see once again.
The memory of it all came back and then
before it could fade and my memory depart,
I clasped it on tightly right over my heart.
Now you'll protect me until I'm with you.
I hold it. I treasure it. That's what I do.
The feel of it now as I hold it in hand
gives me peace I need to make my mind
understamd.

On September 11,2001
Smothering black and gray smoke ascended to
The luminous blue sky
Engulfing it until it turned as black as night.
Young children are confused while thier parents cry noiselessly for loved ones.
Calling every person they know to make sure that they are alive and well.
On September 11,2001.
On September 11,2001,
Brave young men and women struggled to save our citizens.
The young. The old.
Those planes.
Those innocent men, women and children who died.
Whose lives were lost on that timid day because of terriosts.
WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET! !

When A Blind Man Cries
If youre leaving close the door.
Im not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, Im lying on the floor.
Whether Im drunk or dead I really aint too sure.
Im a blind man, Im a blind man and my world is pale.
When a blind man cries, lord, you know there aint no sadder tale.
Had a friend once in a room,
Had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do.
Im a blind man, Im a blind man, now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries, lord, you know he feels it from his soul.

Eleanor Young
Eleanor young, eleanor child
Standing on a lonely hilltop in the appalachian wild
Eleanor sing, eleanor scream
Shout loud for your own green world
Doors dont open for the country girl
Oh, they lied to you
They sung to you songs you werent meant to hear
They showed you life your eyes were never meant to see
Yeah, you should have seen right through
But you believed
Eleanor grow, eleanor cold
Midnight in a dim-lit diner, in the driving detroit snow
Eleanor yearn, eleanor learn
One child with no last name
Your boyfriend runs who do you blame
Oh, he lied to you
He did to you things they taught you were sin
He took from you the best that was within you
He showed you things your eyes should never have seen
And the saddest thing of all, baby you believed
Yeah, yeah, the saddest thing of all, you believed
Yeah mama you believed
Eleanor age, eleanor cage
See california on new years day
Sun shines warm on the rose parade
Eleanor ache, eleanor break
Come out west with your last born child
I grew up scared, weird, and wild
Oh you lied to me
You hid from me knowledge I should have known
You kept from me the life that was my own
You shielded me from things I should have seen
For a very short while mama, I believed...
