Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widom of Malcolm X
I had the honor and pleasure to have Dr. Shabazz as a Health Class Professor at
CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE in Brooklyn, New York
Dr. Shabazz, a name known throughout the world
Determined in all her pursuits
Civil Rights was a commitment alongside her alive husband then Malcolm X
Devotion in spirit in contributing change that followed Dr. Shabazz entire life
Being Black and a woman, but was standing for all women regardless of race
Achiever being a believer
Leader within her own right
Discrimination just made Dr. Shabazz more focused with a Civil Rights mission at hand
Dr. Shabazz wanted to break the chains of stereotypes and accept a person among those being a women
She observed in her eyes in what society was doing to all people of color
Dr. Shabazz educated herself through higher learning and worked within the Health Care Industry as an RN then as she worked became a Tenure Professor at CUNY Medgar Evers College
Because she was part of the Muhammad Faith didn’t make her commitment any easier, but more determined in the change movement of Civil Rights
Her detours were like she was drowning in a sea, but always managed to surface to the top in what Dr. Shabazz was determined to accomplish
Turmoil through the endless fires of her life
Malcolm X heritage was her base of encouragement
It didn’t matter he was deceased, the movement had to be pushed on
Destiny had to be fulfilled
Big step taking
Risk in having strong courage
The world had to understand
Dr. Betty Shabazz travelled the globe in making her agenda clear for Civil Rights change
She made numerous speeches in her own accord and her husband, Malcolm X
In his absence
Dr. Betty Shabazz proved to the world a women accomplish and establish being a women’s right in society
Dr. Betty Shabazz Principles for all women across the globe
She was even close to Coretta Scott King and teamed up together in letting Civil Rights continue to be known
My honor to recognize Dr. Betty Shabazz
Making an impact on my own life
Legacy her make
Understanding my start
Forward I go
Determined my flow
Dr. Betty Shabazz, Thank you for putting me in the know.

DEVIL’S TRAP

Caught in the Devil’s jail
Pulled in without fail
Hot fire
The Devil’s desire
His agenda a set up trap
All could be said is oh snap

Wicked powers and fire combined
Devil, I am not yours to keep
Higher powers to your defeat
I just call on that Heavenly name
I will be free
Now you will flee

AMEN CHURCH
preservationman Mar 2023
Every church has an Amen Corner
But sometimes not exactly in that order
The church building is perfect, but people are not
It was a sermon preached by a Pastor that got attention
It’s something that must be mentioned
The Theme, “If God said it, it’s definitely a Promise”
As the Pastor was preaching, it was Amen here and Amen all over the church
The. Congregation could feel the anointing throughout
The spirit was moving
That is who the Lord is all about
The theme itself has power
It doesn’t matter the hour
Scriptures are never undone

Praise with an uplifting voice
Holy biblical songs only set the praising stage
One must observe in the Lord’s amaze

WANNA BET?
preservationman Mar 2023
Wages on a racing horse
The urge in the mind behind the force
Lady Bell having a bet
The horse loss
No win
Sums of money loss at the end
What was a sure thing
It all went down the drain
No money to even catch a train
The Gambler was begging on the street
Feeling down and defeat
People were just passing back
No one even gave anything to the Gambler in try
All the Gambler could do was just cry
Suddenly a miracle took place
Someone on the street gave the Gambler a One Hundred Dollar bill
I hope the Gambler learned his lesson and don’t bet again
You can’t say a bet is a sure thing
You could lose everything at the end
Bet wisely
The Motto, “The Bet today won’t always win”.

HOUND DOG RUN
preservationman Feb 2023
There once was a race
No competition being a trace
The only face was a lonely Hound Dog
Kicking Up dust in a run like fog
Yet fast on target
No roar of encouragement
Just a brisk carefree breeze
The Hound Dog ran as fast as it could
It was the moment where it stood
The Hound Dog was feeling adequate
He was missing the competition
It was all a test in precision
Endurance and courage extending into influence
It didn’t matter speed
It was the idea be confident and proceed
The Hound Dog felt the strength of preparation
The test runs were all indications
Being the victor within
All followed by conditions
Molding into possibilities
The Hound Dog knew at some point there would be competition
The spirit to win and be admired
Being alone no longer mattered
It was a signal that the Hound Dog was in his own winner’s cycle
Ready and prepared for the future starting running line
The Hound Dog learned his own lessons
Don’t settle for loneliness, but always be inspired.

Disturbances to ignore

Moment of silence

Sentences ready to set sail
The Poets domain
Sometimes complain
Doing what a Poet does best
Write

Other times writer’s block
Some say, Poets have no game
But it depends on who is challenging
I have also heard that Poets are nuts
Poets eat nuts for protein
Keeping their mind open and lean
Poets trust their own spirit
Sustaining from everywhere
The quality is merit
A quiet place offers the right environment for a writing create
No time to waste
Meeting words and sentences head on face to face
Define write
Alone to think
Week after week
Day after day

CHRISTIAN WAR

The battle between good and Evil
Influenced war from the Devil
Heaven verses Hell
The Devil who corrupts minds
He uses all resources combined
Heaven wants to set the record straight
The Holy One is who is great
The Devil hates
He puts the world in dangerous fate
Heaven wants everyone to have everlasting to enjoy
The joy of goodness
Heaven wants the world to embrace becoming a witness
Evil wants to destroy
People become the decoy
Heaven full of joy
The Devil plays with people’s thinking in acting like his puppet like a toy
The battle continues
Joy verses fire
Hour by hour
Minute by minute
Christian’s armored for war with Evil
It’s about defeating the Devil
It’s a matter of time
The Holy Spirit will always reign supreme
The Devil is always mean
Heaven is always clean
Win or lose
Heaven is a place of satisfaction always enthused
Heaven gives understand and no one can lose
The Devil is confused
He just wants to use
Heaven above who looks below
Heaven has the final say in show.

SHAKESPEARE MOMENT

I grow old and weak
The sun shines
But my heart bleeds
My eyes see darkness
Surrounded by curses of Vengeance
My cries have no meaning
Echoes are all silence
Death turning from flesh to soul
Sword boldly held
My will must be done
Wickedness is my voice
Blood must be shed
My mind corrupted
Lightning and Thunder are my conviction
Suspect being the reason
I stand alone being guilty
There is no reason to pity
I will die here in the city
You would be killed if it was left up to me
**** **** **** **** is all I feel
I have been beaten and torn within
Don’t search for my soul
It’s nowhere to be found
I am not worthy for jail
My whole life was unfulfilled with fail
Don’t try to **** me
Let me do that thyself
I am the wretch of never after
I will **** no more
The sword touches my breathless body and blood is flowing like a river
I die too never live again
Bury me quick
Forget me
My tomb is closed tight
I am truly dead tonight
Lightning and Thunder have spoken

I wonder if you really care
Your mannerisms say one thing, but your voice says another
You are all about yourself
No one is an island

Your cause is my effect
It becomes a reject
We don’t talk anymore
It seems I have to ask you permission just to have conversation
There is no appreciation
Silence has become a virtue
Our menu has nothing to offer
I feel like I paying a cover charge
I don’t feel free being your companion
For all I know, you might have a trap door
Escape route for your own means
You are acting just like the world with the don’t care attitude
There is no smooth and our togetherness is a conclude
I have put myself on seclude
Our togetherness is not going get it
You are just not fit

First time in New York City’s history
Meteorologist find the Tornado a mystery
The Tornado touched down in the heart of Midtown
Travelling straight down Seventh Avenue
It happened during the evening rush hour
Precise at the hour
Citizens were frenzied with fright
New York City never saw a Tornado up close in plain sight
This was definitely no ordinary day
The sky darkened
Panic on the eyes of New York City
Skyscrapers that graced the skies
They were rocking back and forth being an emphasize
The winds were fierce with fury
Everything was blowing everywhere
Not your average day compared
Everyone was thinking was this the end of New York City?
Would God have pity?
Wrath of God’s power
Repent while you got time
The Heavenly Hour Glass moving like a stop watch
Observe and be obedient
Pray just pray
Suddenly the Tornado disappeared
Warning behind caution
New York City was sparred
Would another Tornado return?
Would New York City be ready?
Wait and continue to pray out
This is something to think about.

IF I WAS A BUS
preservationman Jan 2023
I would definitely be vintage
Structure of a bus never seen
Wheels that would be superb
Conditioned Engine
That works
Built to withstand all kinds of weather
Headlights that flashed showing clever
Long lasting forever
Seats that would recline with passenger feet raising for relaxation like no other
No malfunctions
Really, but couldn’t promise
Ok, maybe I am over emphasizing
Crystal clear winds bringing passenger scenery up close and personal
Devices to keep the Motor Coach Operator awake and alert
Remember, I am a one of kind bus that no one has seen
A crash is not an option, but vintage is only a reminder
I would be a bus that no one will ever forget
However, that goes without saying
What kind of bus you ask that I would be?
That is a secret
I will never tell
Don’t bother to find out the bus manufacturer
He is on a locked down campaign
You talk your fired
The only clue I will state, I would be a Highway Motor Coach into the open freeway
That’s my bus telling moment.

WORD RESPONSE
preservationman Jan 2023
What are words to inspire?
What are sentences to expel the message?
Words responded to me and stated, “You have come a long way”
A journey through the pains and struggles
Inspiration was never easy
A road of torment like fire
Burning deep and raging wild
No one had any idea
Emotions were on fear
I refused to let what I felt out
Somewhere somehow my destiny is circling all around me
Storms come but stay awhile
I feel trapped within my own time zone being nowhere
What was strength has become weak
What was assured is now doubt
My heart throb has no enthusiasm
My mind blinded
Darkness seeing no light
What direction to I take?
I can’t stop now, but must push on
Standing alone
Even my tears wonder
My soul has gone yonder
My dreams are now my nightmares
They are all frights
Stuck and drawn
Perhaps being an overlap
The Night stars laugh
The Moon refuses to shine
My tomorrow was yesterday
Time expired
Tomorrow came and went

Utilizing full control of one’s own influence

DON’T CRY FOR ME
preservationman Jan 2023
My Funeral is here and now
Your tears aren’t sincere
You are full of guilt
You really didn’t care when I was living
You are probably glad I departed
You are only at my Funeral just to see for yourself I am truly deceased
Friends and Family in pretend
My final chapter came to an end
Don’t look down at me in the coffin
There was no love for me on Earth when I was living
I am flyting in spirit like a Dove
Heaven is my new home
Peace and comfort to roam
Time moved on
I am where I belong
My days on Earth meant nothing
I gave my all on Earth
The world took my life for granted
It meant nothing
I am on Transcend mode
Forget me
You are not worthy
My enriched my beginning
My fulfillment complete
Tomorrow is my new day
I did my best
I am no longer among
My praise in God’s honor
Suffer for the living on Earth
You showed yourself and I proved myself
I am among the Believers
My baggage soul is packed and steady
I am on ready
My Heavenly room reserved
This is what I deserve
My moment came quick
I am at the highest
Gone Forever

POET’S ORDEAL
preservationman Jan 2023
Words don’t always come
Sometimes my mine is lonesome
At times Poets feel they aren’t Poets
Storms torment the spirit
It feels like a detour having a blockage
Emotions sealed like a hidden trap door
The battles between the words and sentences
No beginning. Nor ending
Sustain within
Loss for expression
One letter at a slow call
Unable to respond
Inspiration down
The Poet being nowhere to be found
Failure in own right
Poet relishing plight
The battle strong and intense
A Poet’s life could very well be past tense
Words missing the bull’s eye
All a Poet can do is cry
Letters from words
Mind and voice, we need to talk
Every pause is a Poet’s stalk
There must be a mindset
Writing is about creating the effect
Then something happens behind the Poet’s words
They construct
Suddenly encouragement comes from Poetry readers
Writing and sentences come back
The battle is no longer a struggle
Echoes comes to the Poet, “Come back to the writing saddle”
Be a Poet you are meant to be
Be committed and devoted for the world to continue to see
Poet in
Writing boldly out
Insight
Poet back

Mountains are not easy to climb, but one must be determined
Obstacles become circumstances
Challenging yourself through endurance
Staying positive working through negative influence
A mission one must pursue
Distance far and beyond
Standing on your own morals and disciplines
Dr. King’s voice said, “I am going to win”
Civil Rights Movement caught the attention of the world and Washington
Enough was Enough of being deprived
It was time to receive dignity like any other Ethnic group
We must continue the fight in Dr. King’s legacy as the work is not done
Dr. King made his commitment and fought a good fight
His devotion of Civil Rights must continue in all of our efforts
Dr. King is looking down on us from the Mountain Top
We must fulfill where Dr. King loss his life and strive in his honor
Hold steady
It’s not over
We must succeed going forward and not pause
Standards are what we can demand
Freedom is our right
Living shouldn’t be to have or not plight
Darkness is what holds us back
Light directs our inspired path
Truth is what needs to be recognized
Having an agenda that must be emphasized
Together strong
The Heaven’s wants us to get along
Gods create
Love embarked being appreciate
The world relishes on hate
That is something to anticipate
Tomorrow seeing a vision
A future bright with a fulfilling sunrise and sunset
All the goodness adding to the effect
Every challenge a break through
Every struggle guided through pray
Every blessing a lesson
Make one prove, and the mission is on the move
Dr. King was definitely a leader
Getting everyone to see his agenda
Showing be solid as a rock, “We shall not be moved”
Dr. King had everything to prove
No matter what storm came his way
He was going to finish his promise and not estray
Dr. King has gone on to his reward
Remembrance in Dr. Kings inflection
He started his commitment
Let’s continue on his dream

Overloaded blessings
Achieving in honesty
Purpose destined
Mission to be involved
Stand and Praise who resolved
Ready and prepared
Let the heart praise out
Take the blessing in

Dream of buses
The mold of craftsmanship
Honor in the bus name
Destination striving from the heart
Tomorrow’s open road calling
The sun has risen in a new day
Suddenly a bus glistens for all too see
Vintage bus appears
A Bus Pioneer shares his bus storytelling soul
The day he drove and the experience he felt
The dream became a reality
Buses of the past were relived in the present
You never know what bus will pass by
You simply wave and embrace
You think to yourself, “Thank you for showing me the Bus way”
Bus recognition making its mark
Bus collectors are the start
Being the target with precision
Buses seem to know the bus collector’s heart
Remembrance, reflect, imagine and be amazed
Bus Collector’s understanding
Sustaining
A bus collector’s dream come true
You’re the bus truth
Buses are all around you and in you
Pursue with a mission
Stand strong in your commitment
Your involvement is proven
Echoes upon echoes chanting, “Don’t ever let go, Don’t ever let go, Don’t ever let go”
Step aboard the bus, and be inspired
Don’t tire nor expire
This is your moment in time
Buses dream perhaps
Endless road into the mainstream of buses

As the music raises in rehearsal
The Dancer alone in preparation
Represent will be a present
Talent in perfection
Moving the audience into performing arts appreciation
Dance assemble motion of flow
Contour stamina
Music being high and low
The dance sometimes being with the tempo slow
Immediately an upbeat tempo mighty and strong
Dance Feet Dance
The audience is caught off guard into a trance
Their minds are transcending like an avalanche
The spotlight adding to the effect
Echoing sounds of being a free spirit
Dance Dance Dance

Life’s promises
A sense of purpose
What has been achieved
Efforts that led being accomplished
Ups and Down’s
Committed to live
Desired to strive
Assurance of the heart
Birth of determination
Freedom within rejuvenation
Refreshing morning winter wind
Love nurturing like a warm sun
Welcomed in living
Possibilities within
One voice that knows and eyes that show
Seeing beyond the clouds and the shores
Imaging dreams as reality
Knowing what how one is supposed to live
Remembering all the advice that made encouragement possible
Stepping out on Faith in courage
Moment in time to think
A time to wonder
Looking yonder
Moment of thought
Prepared to live and excel

John Wayne couldn’t be found
The Indian’s all left town
John Wayne wasn’t on the seen
The Indian’s refused to be mean
Marshall Dillon moved from Dodge City
The west was thinking oh what a pity
The Stage Coaches loss their map for direction
Show me the way to Hollywood
Not by way of chopping wood
Even the Mountains didn’t applaud
Oh Lord
The west always thought they won
Somewhere they were outdone
The west having a name
That will remain
Some think the west was lame
Who are you going to blame?
Fuss Fuss Fuss
Back on the road on a bus
On a mission being a must
The west you thought
No battle fought
East went West
I feel I am testing a test
Free spirit at least
The Indian’s put their arrows in storage
At least they had courage
The West in their ways
History made back in the day

Eat, Cook and Serve
Feel the flavor you deserve
Blender galore
Add the Hamburger for sure
Seasoning adds to the goodness
Let taste be your witness

Sloppy Joe is ready and done
What more than can be enjoying than Poetry Sloppy Joe being the words among.

It all started without a Poet effect
The words similarly thought of the Poet being a reject
It goes back to a Poetry book
There was no Poet to take a look
The sentences and words collaborated together
The Poet became no other
The sentences and words held their own meeting
They felt they were the purpose and meaning
What do you think a Poet would think about that?
The Poet would say they are no longer needed
It wouldn’t matter because the words and sentences have their own concept
The sentences and words have their own amaze
The Poet always gets the praise
Poet’s minds are the ideas
The sentences and words felt left out
The door is always open for them to enter
The sentences and words made their point
Poets out
Sentences and words in
The sentences being the words were now Editor In Chief
That doesn’t give Poet’s any relief
Poets and words with sentences will have to work this situation out
I hear in the background Poet’s shout
Theory has it, why doesn’t Words, Sentences and Poets just come together
The response, Forget it

Food with a twist
Eating being a miss
A Duck that went into the oven
There was no need for stuffing
Suddenly the Duck flew out the oven and hit the ceiling
When the host went to check
No Duck in the oven having an effect
As the host bent over at the oven, the Duck felt from the ceiling onto the host head
The guest was served Hamburgers instead
Rice that was cooked on the stove
There was too much Rice in the ***
It was like it or not
Rice that couldn’t be served
No Cookbook and the host got what they deserved
It was a won’t get it meal
Reality came to life for real
Poetry Food took its place
You now know the trace
Poetry moment of food face to face
It goes to show that nothing is fault proof
It’s amazing that the Duck didn’t go through the roof
Food of that sort I will stay away
The best word to describe is estray.

DRAMA INTERRUPTED

A voice that made it clear
You are not welcomed here
The voice sounding like a beating with a Slave Whip
Lies Lies Lies that just don’t fit
Drama trying to unfold
Do as you are told
My name is solid and I am bold
My voice exercising my right
I don’t live within plight
My moment my time
Devoted and genuine
Freedom and Expression being no charge
Your outlook being a question
Personality having no suggestion
I am governed Heavenly
I don’t beckon to lack of understanding
I am meant for higher ground
Accomplishment is what I achieved in sound
Fresh Air and new beginnings surround
Drama is meant for Broadway
I am the voice of estray
You are forbidden to enter
I stand as concrete
Your voice didn’t defeat
Loss your way
I am better than you know
Your words relished so what
My although is superior to your uncertain comprehension
Your drama wants attention
The curtain came down with no presentation
Learn from your mistakes
A Chicken can only run if he thinks he can escape
It becomes fate
Get a clean heart without a cold stature
Observe the mirror and make a change

A man named GORILLA STRONG
His last name Strong describes him perfectly
Strength in his own right
Strong and Might
Gorilla Strong started on his journey as a Weightlifter
He would lift weights beyond expectations
In fact, when he lifts weights at the gym where he trains appropriately called “INTENSITY BEYOND”
Every weight he lifts sounding like an Earthquake around him with shakes and vibrations
It surrounds Mr. Strong’s training formation
His body parts seem to muscle flex without Mr. Strong doing a flex
Mr. Strong has received numerous Weightlifting awards and top honors in sportsmanship

You are probably scratching your head in wondering who is this Gorilla Strong is a person who I made up in my head
However, it would be surprising if Gorilla Strong really existed
So where did the first name of Gorilla originate?
It wasn’t from the ridges of Africa nor a descendant from King Kong
It describes Mr. Strong’s strength capabilities and Gorilla built structure
But there is another side of Gorilla Strong
He became a competitive Bodybuilder
How does one go from Weightlifting to Bodybuilding?
Easy answer, Train, Eat, Preparation and Transformation
Mr. Strong competed in Bodybuilding Contest in winning the Mr. Sensational Title
Because Mr. Gorilla Strong is unique and was wonder and instilled competitive
No imagination or dream, but fierce competition in what bodybuilding could become
The stage was set and when Gorilla Strong stepped on the Posing Dais or some would call the podium along with the other competitors, there was no comparison as to who would win the bodybuilding show
Mr. Strong was vascular, constructed, muscle pumps and showed promise and plenty of detail
It was because of his Weightlifting days that paved the way for Bodybuilding
Even when Mr. Gorilla Strong shook one’s hand, it was like shaking hands with a vice
He was just that strong
After all, one’s last name of strong is nothing to ignore
Think on crush and ouch
Some might think that Mr. Gorilla Strong might be too strong
Just saying, what if Mr. Strong was arrested, and was put into handcuffs, do think they would hold being his strength?
It might be considered a strongman act
Gorilla Strong being a man of excellence
Essence at its best
Powerful with might
Mr. Sensational
Global name

The Night of the Christmas Bus
Holiday accented all decked out
People observed as it was moving about
Santa was aboard
** ** ** accord
Santa told a Christmas story of the Christmas Bus
The children were aboard being a plus
Children were all sitting in their reclining chairs
They listened carefully with care
The Christmas bus that journeyed to the North Pole
As Santa narrated, the wonder became behold
The bus arrived at Bus Toyland
All kinds of scale buses were there
Each had their own stories to share
All the scale buses were of all kinds
They all unique and genuine
Some had operating lights
Others made engine starting sounds
There were some that were remote controls that were found
The scale buses would capture a child’s delight
However, Santa has a bus story to tell tonight
There was a European bus sitting all alone
No momentum and not full blown
The European scale bus was considered as a misfit because of a weird design
Every bus should be in a child’s hand
This is the Christmas Bus Caravan
The other scale bus models were singing, “We are buses for every Boy and Girl, it will bring them joy to enjoy”
But that didn’t settle for the poor European scale bus
There was no fuss
Misfit is a European Scale bus that sits in a corner
All neglected
But that is about to change
The story relishes with a rearrange
Santa felt bad about the whole ordeal
A child’s heart is warmth being for real
Santa abruptly shouted, “Every bus deserves a chance being part of a child’s heart as the holiday season is about joy and love being the reason
Santa thought to himself, what a wonderful idea, and a misfit European bus no more
The misfit European scale bus was told his, and Santa and the other scale buses saw the Flashing headlights of approval
By the time Santa finished the story, the children had felt a sleep, and dreaming deep of buses to keep
Imagine Christmas morning when the children woke up
There would be cocoa filled in their cup
It’s the midnight hour, Santa is busy with the Elf’s packing all the toy buses for the night ride
Santa said Off Greyhound, Trailways, Coach USA and Academy and into wintry road
We have a schedule and must be on-time
As you know, Santa is genuine
Christmas cheer as Santa preservers
Buses travel during the night to touch a child’s heart
Dash away Dash away
Buses rolled into their getaway

Love on hold
Hate on told
Appreciation with hesitation
Please give me your divided attention
I am hated by many
To some people that might sound uncanny
I consider myself avoid
Bitterness in people’s heart with no joy
I did nothing wrong
I feel within the world I don’t belong
But I have flavor being God’s create
In his eyes, I am his appreciate
My name should be called Shame
People want me to be the blame
Cherish me while I am alive
Through Mercy and Grace is how I survive
Death will strike me one day
Tomorrow is not promised
But your hate of me is not honest
No matter what I say or how I say will still muster your continuous hate
I am human and deserve respect
Love and Joy should have enduring effect
I am the sea to the shore
Standing like a lighthouse with your hate I shall ignore
Your truly hate me within your heart
I have no forgiveness to your hate
I live on appreciate
You can hate me now until
My heart is genuine and kind
Your hate is relished on confusion and sublime
Forgive me
No matter what, my world will continue to revolve
I got my own problems to solve
I am bold with God’s threshold
Hate has no place
Your hate of me is deleted and erased
You are not the better world
There’s a place above that makes hearts swirl
Hate metrics on call
I have seen and conquered all

It was an Arizona Sunrise
A new day to recognize
It was a Greyhound bus pulling into a Terminal bus stop
Passengers felt alerted and confused
Suddenly winds began to blow
Tumbleweed surfacing in moving and it they weren’t slow
Shutters were hitting what looked like deserted homes
It was a town that was all alone
The Arizona winds blew hard and strong
Passengers on the Greyhound bus felt the bus should move along
A new passenger stepped aboard
He had a Spanish accent
The Mighty winds continued to blow
The Greyhound bus finally pulled out
Destination being Los Angeles
A Ghost town that will always be remembered
Thoughts even through slumbered
Winds surrounding a Greyhound bus stop being an Old Rusted once Gas Station
There’s your presentation
The wind that caught everyone’s attention
Journey wind unknown
Mystery full blown
Ghost town from when
The story that comes to an end.
