The summer night was hot with intense humid heat
Sweat was pouring down
It wasn’t a night for the ultimate obvious
Writing becoming curious
Taking the alphabet letters on a journey
Places unknown
Turning up discoveries
Hesitant becoming assured
Confident confessing courage
Combinations of possibilities
Setting the time and place
Organizing the thoughts with a purpose
Destination with an arrival
Beginning extending transcending
Unlocking the door being the mind having the key
Echoes upon echoes in hearing
Answering
It’s time
Write and hold nothing back
Let your mind keep track
Journey to anywhere
Focus on vision
Testing logic with reasoning
Proceeding in precise
Flavoring the ingredient of words
The senses of spice in the mind
Let this be the night of write
Focus on sight
Have no fear
I say to you, write on and good night.

Love is sweet
Kisses sincere
Heart humble
Voice echoes for love
No time to hesitate
Affection in create
The night sometimes in cries
The mind captures realize
Moment thinking of love
Love having both will and won’t
The heart confesses can’t
Assure and embrace me
Love truth
Love me while I have breath
Time is short
Times waits for no one
Now or never

Concept to take in
A lesson to begin
It’s learning typing being transcend
Perfection, isn’t that what you seek?
Having a typing skill for the future that will put you ahead being so neat
Feel the typing keys
Be patient, relaxed and at ease
Up the ladder in the keyboard
Alphabet by alphabet
Eventually you will become a pro
Don’t say although
It’s a matter of how much time you spend on typing
Practice makes perfect is what my grandfather said
Just a matter of time
Your typing skill will become genuine
A valued skill
All it takes is will
Typing without looking at the typing keys
Feel assured and confident
Not afraid in avoid
Type away
Never go astray
Practice every day
Go from beginner to advance
Typing is your career chance
Type my dynamo
People will know
Type and go

Calypso spread throughout the world
People person being a heart that swirls
The name behind Harry Belafonte
The music having flavor in the calypso moves
Essence with music smooth
Mr. Belafonte’s life expanded commodity throughout his life
His name rang the music charts
But there is more to his story beyond music
Mr. Belafonte’s was quite active in the Civil Rights Movement
He worked determined alongside Dr. Martin Luther King
Mr. Belafonte encouraged everyone to be involved and connected in the cause for justice for all
His achievements and desires have been fulfilled
Heaven said come home and rest
Your work is complete
Mr. Belafonte’s music will never be forgotten
Heaven has music for you to pursue
Lifted up in spirit and lived the way God wanted him to live
You will always be remembered having a calypso style
Your own blend
But now it is your end
Your legacy is forever
If Mr. Belafonte last words would probably be, “Think of me being more than an entertainer, but a supporter in Civil Rights and capturing the world’s hearts
He wouldn’t say Goodbye
Until we meet again

Honest and true
Alumni who always pursue
I will never forget my education and Degree from CUNY Medgar Evers College
I graduated many years ago
I just want you to know
I wasn’t sure what to expect
I knew it would be Theory, Concepts and Analysis
Medgar Evers College taught me always be determined and you will have a following
For me, it was intervention
For that, it is appreciation
College classes that offered insights
The Professors would often encourage me directly and say, “You will make it”
There were times doubt entered my mind
Yet assurance came directly through my professors
They saw in me which I didn’t see in myself
Trial and error approach
When it came to Midterms and Final exams, I didn’t panic, I simply studied in preparation and buckled down
The advice I offer to all incoming college students, “Nothing in life is easy, but challenging your own mind in what is to come is education and your own success story that will follow”
Medgar Evers College instilled that approach in me
Business and people that I have connected often say, “Well done Medgar Evers College and breeding one of your products”
Becoming the product, I became my own success story in confessing
My accomplishment can support that
My tomorrow is every day
My today is a preparation that was the beginning from the start with what was coming next
What matters is knowledge
What comes out being educated
CUNY Medgar Evers College did both
What you are reading didn’t happen by chance
Purpose and privilege
Standing on my own principles and standards
Expectations my grasp
The Medgar Evers College embodied spirit within
Medgar Wiley Evers which the college is named after
“Be determined while being successful”

The distance between Hallelujah to the highest
The Soul being ready to be lifted up
The spiritual voice cries out glory
That’s the biblical story
The pain and agony that was on Earth
But Heaven has given me an enriched new birth
My time will come quick
Like an on and off switch into Glory
The Angel shall reveal conceal
I will be welcomed and want my room to be ready
Honored and soul holding steady
Cry not, but rejoice in Praise to the Almighty King
Blessed being the whole thing Heaven bound
I want to be in that Heavenly home
Hallelujah throughout in echoing sounds
Everlasting, I will never ever be alone
The Lord and I
Hallelujah

Not Tick Tack Toe
Not even a Crossword Puzzle you know
I am trapped in a word maze
Trying to find my way out
This will not be a snap
I wish I had my thinking cap
I am confused like a mouse
I feel like I am in a haunted house
Everywhere a detour
In is where it all begins and with exit
Did I mention I am in the dark with no light?
This is what I call a plight
Words block every path
Direction having no find
This word trap is certainly not kind
No getaway nor trap door
I know that for sure
Escape will not be easy
Perhaps there is escape
A motto keeps popping into my head, “Seek and you shall find”
Easier said than done
Trapped like a fly
This is definitely going to take awhile
Word trap has its own style
What will I do now while?
