News from Malfaiteurs - 9th January 2004
Welcome back to the Malfaiteurs newsletter. Well, we wish you all a happy new year, and above all, good health. 'Cause that's what bring us today, nothing to jump about but a very sad news - again.
Omer, Rasta Man
Omer, my brother, is a cool dude. Omer is black,
From Western Africa.
For years he's always been there,
Silent in the shade, present in the need.
You might be surprised to hear
That a white man's brother can be
African !
I don't care, Omer will always be my brother.
Whatever you say, whatever happens
I don't care, Omer will always be my brother.
I might not have said it a month ago,
Or I might - certainly I would - have,
As Omer has truly always been my brother.
You might know Omer, you would have seen him
At the gate of the Party beating up the pavement,
Waiting for you ladies and gents, a joke ready, a smile or a gentle look,
Or was it inside, round Malfaiteurs, that you met Omer, you would remember.
Smoke, Drink, Sing, Party and enjoy yourselves as today
Omer
Has undertaken the long trip to the promised land,
Ethiopia
That has stretched her hands unto God.
There Omer will find His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile selassie I,
King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah,
Elect of God, Light of this World,
King of Zion.
There will rest in peace our brother
Omer
We Love You, rasta man
Omer Robert N'Guessan Amani was born on September 9th, 1968 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast and he has died peacefully and painlessly on December 22nd, 2003 at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow, Essex, United Kingdom, after a month-long fight against tuberculosis.
To wish Omer luck in the long voyage home, you may join us at Harlow's Pardon Wood Crematorium and Cemetary on January 14th, 2004, for 10am, where we will hold a rastafarian memorial service for him.
You Can...
