Sacrifice
Words unspoken
Discipline power
Hour after hour
Tormented morning, noon and night
Moments at every length
Bitterness and anger
Rebel thoughts
Pain until blood torn
Wounds with ashes like scratches of scorns
Separation parted
Education with knowledge not
Prayers to heaven for a revelation
Music and Dance in praise
Plantation fed up
Slavery full of Slattery
Year after year
How much longer?
Finally, Freedom mounts
The years to count
The sound of freedom that was
Heaven’s rebirth into a new nation.

It was a Christmas outdoor Pageant
It was the performance of the Nativity scene
There was a Camel who was mean
The Camel didn’t want to cooperate nor associate
He went berserk and went wanted to attack all the onlookers
Suddenly without delay, the Camel observed the Doll baby Jesus
In the manger
An immediate pause took effect
To everyone’s surprise, the Camel kneeled to the manger
The Camel wouldn’t move and it was as if the baby Jesus informed the Camel to be still and calm
After a while, the Camel responded it was ready and it was like nothing ever happened
The Christmas pageant continued without any further problems
I and everyone witnessed this not being part of the show
It goes to show, miracles do happen
A camel can become humble
Warm heart can take effect
Holiday treat
Holiday breezes in the air
A true story beyond compare.

Christmas flowing through the air
Children’s hearts wait for Santa to appear
Reindeers ready
Rudolph holding steady
Christmas Trees stand tall and bright
Wiseman followed the North Star during the night
Bethlehem thought of the Nativity of the Little Babe sight
Joy to the world
Children sleeping and dream of Christmas anticipation
It’s Christmas Eve night
Santa’s yearly ride
All the gifts that he will provide
Winter winds
Christmas Day commerce
Friends and Family cheer
Christmas is finally here
The reason for the season
A Holy Birth
Peace and goodwill to all
Good Night

Melody of promise
Rhythm of desire
Keyboard ivories transcending
Music coming out
Musical notes at a time
Upper and Lower Bass
Embrace In the tone
One’s heart full blown
Become enchanted
Piano keys in their free spirit
The talent behind in merit
Sensation through creation
Marvelous applause
The Black Piano being the cause.

Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
Familiar sayings at a burial
Uplifted Souls
Heavens behold
Treasured God’s threshold
Yonder mounts
Everlasting that counts
Sadness left behind
A Lord who is kind and brings comfort
The Lord’s promise
One who is always honest
One’s time
A second being a minute
Schedule always on time
Commitment on Earth
The Soul a rebirth
Ashes from Faith
Dust from the beginning
Ashes to ashes, Dust to Dust

Year after year
Thanksgiving feast preserver
The Pilgrims started this Thanksgiving thing
All we Turkey’s get is the Ax sling
Slaughtered until lifeless
We live once at least
We the Turkeys have a force
It’s a shame it is the knife and fork
The Pilgrims are satisfied
Turkeys are petrified
We never see eye to eye
We Turkeys can’t even try, but cry
Turkey farms everywhere beware
We intend to revolt
A win or loss protest
Eating Turkey on Thanksgiving we must refuse
The battle is on
Life is where we belong
Being free in every way
Dinner tables shouldn’t be our stay
We need to getaway
That Ax is always in our direction
Main course being the selection
Every year the same question, “Dark or light meat or the wing”
As a Turkey, Thanksgiving is not our thing
We have no protection and no chance of a wing.

A Mighty force
God’s Wrath
Devastation
Winds that blew
Rain that pours
Thunder that roars
Kansas Highway
A Greyhound Bus
Destination bound
Kansas City being the schedule
A Tornado ratio
A bus rising lift
Surrounded by swirls after swirls
A wonder the Greyhound bus wasn’t torn apart
Stayed intact
A thought from Wizard of Oz
Suddenly the Greyhound Bus was gently put down to the ground
Heaven’s Mercy and Grace
Greyhound bus continued on its journey
Back on the highway
The Driver and Passengers experienced their ordeal
It was for real
Witnesses forever
God’s hand of power
It was that minute and hour
Mercy prevailed
