The Emmanuel 9

By Richard Shine

This book was design to help mentor the homeless because it's tough I was once the same and even harassed by racism but as I lived I learned my importance so I jotted down some of my lessons hopefully it will help and if it don't help it sure can't hurt you.

Richard Shine

Hello, my name is Richard Shine. I am a writer. I was born and raised in poverty and still in poverty. I live in Charleston SC. I was moved from NY as a child. I attended Baptist Hill High School. I finished in 1977 and in 1982 I became a writer. Why? Because of poverty, it became my way to escape all misery. I have been writing ever since and now I have books up to my ears. I have 3 books published, The Charleston9, The Emanuel9, Your Gold Mind, all at a bookstore near you. Thank you. Yours truly, R.shine.

(DON’T WASTE YOUR MIND) 2/012

Living in this nation we don’t need more sorrow

we don’t need more pain we only want your

happiness so, keep that beautiful smile and.

Heed to this sign don’t waste your mind

stay away from drugs it can cripple your mind

it will make you think you need it all the time.

Like a first born in a cold sweat

born in a world I won’t forget

running the streets wasting precious time

because drugs kill brain cells and

leave your life in jail cells.

Heed to this sign don’t waste your mind

stay away from drugs it only cripples the mind,

some may say it’s fine but it will make you think

you need it all the time.

(THE EMANUEL 9) 7/015

We are living in the last times

we are living in the last days,

we were in the right place

we were in the right mind but

It must have been the wrong time.

Emanuel 9 Emanuel forever be thy name

Emanuel 9 Emanuel will we ever feel the flame

just like Christ you paid the price

to the ultimate sacrifice.

Now we don’t have the time

to live in a close mind

now we don’t have the time

to deny the peace sign and we sure don’t have

the time to go kill our kind.

Emanuel 9 Emanuel forever be thy

Emanuel 9 Emanuel will we ever be the same and

just like Christ you paid the price,

to the ultimate sacrifice tell me will we ever feel the flame?

ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL 4/01

Another high school

another teenager another gun

we just cannot do, we just cannot say

we just can’t seem to stay out of harm’s way.

It’s just too much shooting

we should be ashamed

Dear Lord, help us in Jesus name,

we practice terror all of our days

and never see the error of our ways.

Another fool no more fun

another fool out to hurt someone

another high school, another teenager,

another gun.

THE BLAME

We all have our troubles

we all have our times and

in the minds of many some of us wish there wasn’t any

always dishing out what they can’t take in.

It’s a game we can’t stop the shame and

no one can blame the rain

If you have on shame then take the blame.

Everybody’s got a bomb

we can leave here any day and we keep it that way

save us from these days save us from our ways

pour some scene into our reality

pour your humane into our humanity and you know

there’s got to be some kind of hope inside of me.

It’s a game we can’t stop the shame

it’s a shame because we can’t stop the game and if you have no

shame no one can blame the rain if you,

have on shame, you take the blame.

THE LAND I LOVE

It’s all about the love deep within the land

love is in the land I love

it’s all about the land keeping hope at hand

America, the land I love.

Dreams and houses

children and spouses

building up the land I love

and I know the
