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.

Run Turkey Run
Don’t even go on a prowl
Turkey knife
No cut
No Cook
No seasoning
This Turkey is running for its very life
I am not stopping to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade
This is living that needs to be made
No stuffing
No eating from this turkey, and if you are disappointed, tough
Enough is Enough
If meat is what you want, try duck
I will not be plucked
You are out of luck
I am running as far as I can go
When I become breathless, I will move slow
For now, I am on deadline time and all systems go
Eventually, my turkey legs will thump me for a ride by way of hitchhike
Being a Turkey, I am expected to be polite
I am in a plight
Turkey run on never to be done
I want to live among
I am running anywhere from any oven
I will never be an outdoor cook out
Speedily and Steadily heading about
Give yourselves thanks
This turkey is on the move
No catch me if you can
This Turkey is never on when
What meat will you serve that will be something for you to prove
I am on sooth
Happy Thanksgiving and Turkey legs just move

Several stars in the night
They were shining bright
A child made a wish
He waved to them a kiss
Held several dreams
Embarking like moving streams
The child wished for a Toy Robot of his own
Too a parent might find that a bit blown
But that is what the child’s dream being shown
There were many other wishes
Yet too many to mention here
The child even prayed to the stars in making his wish happen
The Toy Robot was always his number one goal
The child asked his parents for the Toy Robot, but his parent felt it was too expensive
Be careful what you wish for as you might just get it
There was a knock at the door
The parents said “We are not expecting any company”
When the male child opened the door, it was a toy robot at the front door in a box
It was definitely a surprise, and the parents had no idea who delivered the toy robot
It is still a mystery even today
The male child didn’t care because he was given what he wished for in the stars
Was it the stars or just a coincidence?
It happened like in an instance
No one is saying or don’t really know
In any event, it just goes to show
Dreams can sometimes turn into reality
The toy robot’s name was “Perfecto”
A happy child
Perhaps one day the stars will give us an answer on how that toy robot actually materialized
For now, let the child think the stars made his dream possible
Perfecto on

I am thinking back when
Autumn being the sign
The assortment of colored leaves
Capturing moments to retrieve
The Fall Winter Winds
Moments to just observe and feel
Winds blow with an although
Are you prepared for what the winds will continue to blow?
Windy advance with the feel here and there while holding on to your hat or cap
It’s plain facts
Coldness that is brisk
Individuals who can’t resist
We are in the Fall Season
It is within reason
The Good Lord is in control
Adjust in clothing and take hold
November winds will continue to blow
November is preparing us all for what December will be
Anticipation to see
The winds always have their say
It’s always been that way
You probably don’t want to think ok
Go with the flow
November has us in the know
December will be the final show.

You think you are bad and rough
For you being Mr. Big Stuff is not enough
You going around acting tough
But you are surrounded by a Gangs that call your bluff
Your ever living moment is characterized on stake
You think you are King Pin
You need to think again
You are not a Leader, but a follower
Gangs don’t even look up to you nor have respect
They think pursue
You don’t even lead to follow through
There’s no promise
You don’t know how to be honest
You are not even modest
Gangs are to steal no matter who they are
You don’t have what it takes to go far
You walk around like you are a Czar
Your own Mother you ignore
Yet she adores
You nothing more than a punk
Low Scale
Lack understanding
No destination with an arrival
Acting a hero marvel
Self-Centered
No pity within any city
Your image all fake
No give or take
Mr. Big Stuff, a little man
No demand
One day, you will be non-existent
Mr. Big Stuff no more
You get no encore

A Professor lectured and said “Wait Until”
A student replied why?
The Professor’s response was “Understanding in knowing to be Emphasized”
As the Lecture went on
Realize was starting to form from that short pause prior
The Professor wanted to highlight his lecture of observe and pay close attention
Making the concept of complex into simplicity
Reality being the actual
Points added being factual
Real life encounters in what students could face in situations
Put yourself in the Professors place
Preparations for the students being an organized process
Answering questions in the best dignified matter
Sometimes one must be quick thinking with a response while standing on your feet
Why if you were in a business meeting trying to persuade a major client to come to your company in being a business deal
One must be Confident, Assured, Projecting Influence and Excelling Presentation
This is the sale selling process
Your preparation would need the person to be prepared to be the Presenter while being aware of the purpose and reason for illustration
Word observant
Motto, “If I can think it, I can also speak it”
Another Motto, “If I can read it, I can comprehend towards it”
The Professor’s idea to the students was to feel the aroma of information and let it direct you to its finale
It all downs to Common Sense the Professor was adding
Inspiration in being confident instilled to the students
Lecture forming the concept
Ability adding to the effect
Be the best of yourself
Lead, but don’t follow everybody else
Set the course and be the force
Go out and use what you learned

Words of Crime
Justice done on a dime
The Story of a Comic Factory
There were Thugs who wanted to make a fortune off Comic Books
All for the taking
The Thugs are about to find out they were mistaken
It didn’t matter who the Comic Book character was
It was a **** buzz
They were determined to steal
Too them it was a big deal
Demonstrating throughout
Illustrating out
Unknowingly to the Thugs, Poet Joe was on their trail
But Investigation conducted without fail
Word surprise
Resisting words on the Thugs side
The fist being the power in extending vibrating sentences as enforcement
So many comic books with the Thugs caught in the act
Not fact, but evidence
Fighting between the Thugs and Super Hero Poet Joe
Pow, Wow, Blunder and aftermath
The Police arrive and took the Thugs to the Comic Book Jail of Finale
Words count in fighting crime
It’s all justice in the mind
Super Hero Poet Joe proved it again

The strives for freedom
Voices singing through pain
Cries for hope and dignity
Slaveless thoughts
Beaten night after night
Wounds are the scars that be
Moans sounding like a lonely Wolf
How long do I have to live?
The tears are only mere examples of how I feel
I am a Slave for real
Endure
Sometimes I yell out, but it is my own echoes that echo back
No one knows my distance
I am my own assurance

Walked miles during the hot summer months
Picking cotton while working the fields
The Slave Masters call me “THUNDER” because I am mighty in the fields and the slave with the most endurance
But my heart expels revenge
My rage within
The words formulate, “When one shall, one should”
Those words Thunder lives by
Every given moment and second
Sometimes I go down by the Bayou and just admire my own reflection
But it doesn’t change being a slave that I am
Freedom will one day be my reward
Believe that
I often pray for the Lord’s guidance
He is my existence
The Slave Masters are saying, there will be a bad storm tonight
That will be my opportunity to escape covering territory without be discovered
My journey towards freedom
Leaving the South heading North


I heard stories of New York City
A land of milk and honey fit for slave looking for freedom
Legacy my own to achieve
Freedom at last, I shall receive
No more tears and pain
A new life that will remain
My endless story will be in the history books
It’s just a matter in take a look
Those slavery days
Freedom that will always stay.

It deprives from my devotion to the Greyhound name

My location in viewing was Regal Union Square in New York City
October 15, 2022
Mississippi was where the story took place
Medgar Evers on the case adding to the trace
It was injustice and hatred portrayed
The analogy of being black
The opposition in wanting black to take back
The movie was more than a flick
The lies told throughout that stuck
Anger with emotion
Cries feeling the pain of Emmett Till’s Mother
The open coffin of her son’s reality
The world saw and remembered
The lifeless body of Emmett Till
Justice wasn’t served
A mixed menu of what was not ordered
I held this movie close to my heart
Legacy influence from Thurgood Marshall and Civil Rights Leader, Medgar Wiley
Evers
There’s a connection, and I personally felt the experience of the movie throughout
I actually met the Medgar Evers Family, and I graduated from CUNY Medgar Evers College
This person is legacy as well, but wasn’t in the movie with a mention
I was lectured at CUNY MEC by Professor Dr. Betty Shabazz, Malcolm X’s Widow
Even though Miss Till loss the battle, she proved to the Racist world that Blacks have a Voice, Courageous, Determined and will not be still
The voices of reason will always shout out
Miss Till surpassed through the tribulations, Boundaries and Crossing Forbidden Lines
Yet, she held her dignity in honor of her son, Emmett Till
Miss Till was encouraged through the higher minds of legacy
She was guided by Heaven’s eyes
Pillar of Strength
All costs at every length
Emmett Till with smiles and joy
The train may have departed
The Sunrise and Sunset captures the paths taken
The world awakened
Emmett Till until
Everlasting
Spirit reigns

Growing up, I had lots of friends
Joy in laughing, communicating and playing games
Happy times
But as time went on, friends moved away like a drifting tide
It was as if they were trying to hide
They began to not call
I was no longer hearing from all
Family began to treat me like a loss sheep
At least I had my self-respect in my soul to keep
Coldness began center around me
It was the feeling that so called friends and family were giving
I don’t pity myself
I am not like everybody else
My life has freshness and newness
Every day, I never know what to expect
But that is good thing
Prosperity always breathes within my soul
You might think I am ordinary
If you are uncertain, try using the dictionary
Reject can have negative effects
It’s nothing I did
If so, God forbid
My life is surrounded by goodness to which I associate
Bringing love and encouragement
I laugh through the pain
It doesn’t make me lame
I don’t complain
My heart is solid as a rock
I am treated cold by many
Friendship, if any
I have been deleted
Yet not defeated
Commitment is my document
I can’t look back, but move forward
I can’t pause, I must be onward

Life is its own devoted story
It’s the reason I continue to achieve no matter what

My ability in composing
My voice in communicating

Extends on all lengths

Don’t sleep tonight
You are all so full of fright
Don’t dare turn on the lights

Truth is everlasting
My words always inspiring
Yet with an encouraging voice
Blessings turn into shall

You had a time back then you didn’t know which way to turn
Left or Right
But I got you through your plights
Radiant light

You never know, it could be a test
Don’t accept anything for less
Faith is what will always be
Living and learning is what you will see
Picture yourself cruising on a smooth sea
Your horizon a waits
Distance your heart being parallel to your eyes
Surprise
Meet your sunrise of daily living
Let your sunset be wisdom gained
Embrace on
Pray as you move along
Enriched and certain
Weather the storms
But don’t be alarmed
Victory is your story
Sincerely, Glory

What are your expectations for me Lord?
I am poor and have nothing to offer
Be still and listen
You have a heart of Gold
I am the Lord, just take hold
I will show you wonders beyond the world and your imaginations
Journey with me as your tomorrow unfolds
You have discerning virtues
Your thoughts will surpass the world’s comprehension
You will have greater understanding
Follow my guidance and listen to my spoke words
Tell the people of the world
“Time is accelerating far greater than man can keep up, but the bells are sounding, and the clouds gather like a meeting that is urgent. Redemption is at hand”
The world that refuses to understand
It takes obedient to just listen and wait
I feel I am not worthy of such a task
I am the Lord who will bring It to pass
The world will listen and your voice will confer
This is the day, and tomorrow a new beginning
Enrich, Sustain and embrace
I am the creator
You are the fulfiller
Walk in courageous
All it takes is being righteous
The day is only the moment of what is the come
You will never be alone as I am embodied throughout your soul
You walk within behold
You will have a story of your own told
The mountains are your foundation
Strength in sturdy
My words that are hardy
Be ever faithful
The Lord has spoken
Branch out and encourage
You are ready
GO

The thought of understanding
Knowing life is about sustaining
Love is and will always be
The Moon smiles with a clear sky shine
It turns into life being genuine
Enchanted but true
A woman approaches and stands in front of me
Captured my heart
I cry for joy
Romance to cherish and enjoy
We are a couple among the stars
We are in our own universe
Embarking in romance best
My assurance attracted you to my heart influence
You are my Cinderella and I am your Prince
Royal in our own right
We laugh and smile with pure delight
Pure and simple
Enchanted being magnetized
We move through the woods, we are the goodness, and there are echoes of applause
We found each other
Our love is crystal clear being our own reflection in the kiss
No end, but enduring
Everlasting
Our hearts have given us direction
Total affection
Appreciation
Participation
The kiss like a script dialog
Love until
Moment of truth
Sealed and approved
I got it right

Surprises with realizing
Moments of emphasizing
Plastic lined questionable
Words that are never digestible
Evil that wants to stir up
Mannerisms that could fill a cup
Personality ways
Move astray
Breakable, but can be fixed
Obvious with careful observation
What’s the conversation?
Roundabouts
Body Movements
The Heart and Mouth
Deadly tongue poison expelling
Dare to say
A trap to step that way
Reaction before thinking
What were you expecting?
What will you accept?
Plastic that can always pull you in
What will your reaction be then?
People show their character
The image of who they are
Know the true pursue in what plastic does
Don’t cave in

Angry skies
Raging seas
Uncertain with no at ease
Turbulences within the moment
Careful maneuvering
Attempting to avoid ship wrack
Tense nerve sessions having effect
Courage trying to mount
Distance of the horizon in count
Winds blew
Heavy rains fall
Echoes of the winds being their call
Unforeseen arrives
Storm ceases
Clouds start to separate
The moon immediately appears
Winds die down
Rain completely stops
The ship still floats
Determination with desire to live
Indication
Many storms will follow throughout life
You will never be alone
You won’t drown
You will always be a survivor

September 11, 2001 is a reminder for me because I was supposed to work for Marsh & McLennan, Inc. on the 96th Floor in World Trade Center Tower One, but the company never called me. I am blessed that I wasn’t called. My name could have been written in the memorial. Yet, I feel sorrow for all those that did lose their lives and the families left behind without their love ones. I loss some friends in 9/11. God is good as I am covered under his Mercy and Grace.

The hour and that precise minute
Precision at every turn
Shows how the world can turn upside down
Lives that were never found
Devastation and ash having the final sound
We honor the loss being their story, and now they are in glory
It also states never take life for granted
We don’t know what will take place in our lives
Today and Tomorrow is not promised to any of us
Life is precious and time continues to revolve
But are keeping in touch with living love ones on a Daily basis?
Having that I don’t care is not the right vibe to keep
God’s sake
The Almighty being the key
Being the amaze who deserves all the praise
You are still living, and lift those hands in God’s Grace and Mercy
Still among
Today is the day to say Thank You
Today being your reminder to remember
Today is your daily to always pray
Relish the air and seeing the skies as if for the first time
Take a moment to just recognize
Goodness comes from Heaven to your heart
The Holy One makes the determination from the start
Live and keep living
You had been given the spiritual lift
Don’t go astray being a drift
Living with every breathing second is considered being Heaven’s gift
Appreciate!

I am now the Heaven Anchor
Spiritual and true
My assignment is a new pursue
My words are now praise
My heart is full of amaze
I am beyond the clouds and Cameras
CNN and CBS were my Earthly past
My years did last
Remember how I brought you news
Stories that made you wonder and be enthused
I travelled the world
Captured stories that had effect
My final destination being Heaven
I caught God’s attention
I am now his representation
God simply said, “I have Heaven News for you to spread”
Rise and follow me from your bed
You are among the many chosen
No cameras, but my light of glory
This is the Bernard Shaw story
Spotlight on what he achieved on Earth
Enriched into a new horizon
Eyes always on Bernard Shaw
Virtues with lessons learned
Be watchful and pray full
I am where hope always is
Don’t mourn, but wake up always to an inspired morn
Spirit and Soul always comforted
My tomorrow came on schedule
I went to new heights
Soared among the many eagles and birds
I heard whispers from the Lord
At peace
Free from Earth

Conquered and saw
Risen

Grandma, I remember your departure
Visualizing your stature
It is like it was yesterday
You went to your Heavenly home
Everlasting where you will always roam
You reminded time after time, I am never alone
You often stated, “Let your praises be full blown”
Your sincere voice spoke, “I wish I could take you with me”
But it wasn’t my time
You will be waiting at every bus terminal, Airport and train station anticipating my arrival
You told me to always pray
Everlasting is the gate way
Don’t ever grieve
I am at peace and relieved
I am with the Holy King
But I left you with one thing
Wisdom relishing throughout your life
When situations come always remember my golden advice
A world that won’t be nice
Life itself is not sugar and spice
Goodness comes from God’s advice
Heaven knows
It goes to show
The skies capture the flow
Soulful experience
Treasure my love
So Grandma, I will never forget
I hold no regret
Your impact in me has a positive effect
I miss you so
Praise now and soon I will be lifted up
Your Grandson says, “Thank you for your love”
You are always who I think of

I saw my distance
It was my miles in journeys
Blisters on feet like sores
My struggles provided understanding
They prepared me in what to expect
My tears previously flowed like water falls
The thought of my fellow Slaves who died
But I stayed focused in knowing what God who provide
No matter how hot the sun became
Freedom was going to be my aim
The thought never entered my mind that I may not make it
I knew it was going to be a battle, and I couldn’t change the world’s thinking
My inspiration had to continue being sustaining
Deep in my heart, I couldn’t let the world change my spirit
I had to be determined
Blockades were everywhere
Echoes of preserver within
Escaping through rivers was my only chance
My freedom was how I would advance
Yet a voice from Heaven saying, “Push On”
Your freedom will come
It was assurance
It took all of my endurance
Teach your people God’s guidance
I gave you wisdom
Understanding directly from the kingdom
You are free
No longer anyone’s slave
Freedom ways has started
Go and be free
The Sun will guide you to your next journey
Free at last

How can I pay you?
You always come through
When struggles arise
You arrive on time with your surprise
When a circumstance becomes a problem
It is always solved
I don’t use my understanding because you are involved
You keep your promise
Your words are true in honest
Your presence is obvious
You are better to me then I am to myself
I am your creation
Your guidance is understanding always giving me information
Your goodness is beyond great
It reigns supreme
You made me whole and spiritually clean
Never late
My praise has no hesitate
Energized and wise
I had to emphasize
You are my enterprise
Every day you teach
My soul became your reach
Lord of Lords
King of Kings
Skies on high
Voice of compassion from Thy
Today and always
Thank you coming your way.

Poets can be unpredictable
But they are always able
They see value in more detail

Said and read over and over again
Biblical states then
In the present, it became can
The Ten Commandment were created being a creed
It is how we are supposed to live in proceed
The world has failed under grace
Biblical is the trace
It didn’t say let every man have a man
Nor did it say let every woman have a woman
Failure on all counts
On high from the mount
Men and Women were created in what all human was supposed to have
The world makes excuses to satisfy what they believe
In other words, leading to their own understanding
The Biblical Constitutional document being the Almighty demand
We are at Heaven’s command
Our image being of the Heavenly Father
We **** at will
But pause and be still
Who gives anyone that right?
The world is in a plight
Darkness with no light
Seems to understand, but can’t sustain
The mind is closed with a stain
What is happening will remain
Insane
Change means transform
That is the norm
The world continues to fail
Moving in time like a snail
No wonder and without bail
preservationman Aug 2022
No whisper nor echoes
Only silence being a reflection
Your session
Perhaps a confession
Your soul expelled
But the spirit disappeared
Thoughts went yonder
The heart only wonders
Living voice was full of words and discussions
At times being emotions
Wave after wave being like oceans
You heard once, but no more now
Honor with remember
Voices wanted you to hear
The voices vanished
You didn’t want to listen because of your pride
Silenced your heart
Hardened like a rock
Dependability moved on
Now you are stuck in your code of silence
Wasn’t obedient
No ingredient
Voiceless and useless
You thought of the souls before
Feeling the sore
Code of silence for sure
You can no longer ignore
Code of Silence settling the score.

PATRIOT
preservationman Aug 2022
One who doesn’t pretend
Yet one who will defend
A Patriot is a true friend
It goes beyond the military
It’s pure elementary
The Patriot is someone loyal
One that doesn’t act royal
Supporting one’s well being
When one thinks of a Patriot, they usually associate with a battle war
Patriots are a down to Earth person
Golden in heart
Superior in spirit
The Patriot earns that merit
