i never
ever
wrote
this catagory
told this story
so take note
'bout the word's that i wrote

a rail to ride
bet you i can slide
not hide
or be beside
myself
a a rail to ride
off to the side
down the track
ain't no lookin' back

my brother's & me
we be three
two of them
then there's me
can you see?

ain't no mothers
for others & me
same old dad
we had what we had

my bother's & me
we don't see
eye to eye
but i guess we try
to reason's & why

dad just don't die
i say with a sigh
"goodbye"
each night
with a cry

ain't his time
due
his story is thru
but what do you do?

no reason nor rhyme
it justa' ain't his time

so these words be true
all tho they make me blue
they just do

hope it don't happen to you
past His time to die
or mine to cry

wonder why?

just the other day
he went away
what can i say
he still lives
for today
he still
gives
he has a strong will
that be his be skill

anyway
got 2 brother
the same mother
who passed away
into yesterday
or is it tomorrow
with it's own sorrow
i can't borrow
into to
her passin' away
i can just live for today
anyway

got 2 brothers
one's older than the other

just my brother's & me
that's how it be
but now
somehow
it's the $$$$ tree
twixt' them & me

that's what it be

where is $$$ goin'
what do yu do?
'cept keep showin'
and growin'
blowin' & goin'
still showin'
who i be.

see
i dont seek the $$$tree
not me

but i'm here
for He's fear
and mine
too
that's what we do

that be unkind

i face my fear
so far away
he'll pass his own way
into yesterday
and tomorrow
'least he will have faced his sorrow

and his yesterday's
anywways
he'll pass aways
into better days

but i'm here
to face the fear
to shed a tear
for someone so dear
so near
to my heart
He was a jump start
to my art & poetry
He Be Me
that i can see

a timley pause
cause
that's
where i'm at

a timely re-frain
to help me maintain
the thought
i'll be the one in pain
i be the one who sought
yesterday's
tomorrow's
today's any way's

hear's what i have to say's
alone at night
so i write
wiht some insight
great night

anyway
here's what i says

"it ain't the money... honey"

it's your soul
you're whole
ain't that funny
it ain't the $$$$

yesteday's
that have passed there way's
don't stop you from livin'
today's
with all that your given!

I seems to think,
Your brothers will end up in the sink,
The sink of life, where they WILL do more than stink,
And you my friend, you have the knowledge,
Gone to school, got the degree, yes to college,
To deal right with these brothers who only see green,
In your own special way you will all wipe the slate clean...

Peace friend Steve, Ed & Rufuz (:Rufuz loves getting answering machine messages, but he is not allowed to use the phone, he runs up my bills..;)
