MOVING ON OUT
preservationman Oct 2020
Moving on up to the sky
I often wondered with a why?
Perhaps being Heaven’s Thine
Nonetheless, I must move out
The Economy made a change
My whole life I had to rearrange
The thought of my life living on luxury
I am thinking on mystery
It comes down to me becoming humble and saying I am poor
I remember when my life flourished before in soar
My life will one day rebound
Imagine my time becoming an inspirational testimony praising sound
I maybe moving out
But Heaven gives me blessings to talk about

BUSES CROSSROADS
preservationman Oct 2020
Distance no option
Destination to capture
Image in a picture
Wheels maneuvering the roads
Welcome aboard and behold
Routes through various highways
It all started during the Stagecoach days
Rocky roads then to highways now
Drivers educated in being engineering wise
Total endurance in energize
Safety of importance is the otherwise
The bus design that captures the mind
The seating arrangement all combined
It’s the comfort the minute you recline back
The specifications all add up to the fact
Restful night sleep
But try not to snooze deep
That request is hard to keep
The bus motor’s zoom
They sound like a beginning musical tune
The engine’s functioning on pitch
The Driver in control at the switch
Nonetheless, Grassroots with buses on thought
I have many scale buses that I brought
But now buses start your engines
Journey into travel
The start being noble
Let your sunrise fill the day into sundown
Buses in my soul can be found
preservationman Oct 2020
The Morning sun rises
It’s another day
Doing what’s right
Going beyond any given night
My Principles is where I stand
This is America’s secrete land
Legislative, a promise
As your President, I am being honest
The White House being Washington’s eyes
It’s up to the House of Representatives in acting wise
The message is clear at the Washington Monument point
“I will not fail, and with God’s help, I shall prevail”
My words are more than just sentences
My instances are my responses
My statements are encouragement in America’s share
Many Presidents have stood
They all did the best they could
In some instances, you could add sure
Now Slavery is nothing to ignore
Many voices have echoed
Shouts that rang out
Getting my point across is whom this President is about
Lead by example
The quest being just that simple
I am not giving myself praise
I want America to strive seeing the amaze
With God’s help, we will all rise in the Heavenly Father’s name.

MOTIVATIONAL GESTURES
preservationman Oct 2020
Do you have any fears?
Do you want people near?
Within the questions, you must honest and sincere
Now let me give you some pointers to preserver
Put your fears to the side
Listen to the approach as I provide
The idea is to confront what is instilling in the fear
Could it be speaking in front of crowds of people?
Perhaps having no confidence
Maybe even feeling less inadequate
This could be related to your childhood coming up
Then again, maybe people said words to you to make fears come within you
The truth to the matter, you need to build your self-esteem up
Confront those fears, and let yourself improve
Associate the word, ‘ENTHUSED”
Don’t let anyone question your personality that yourself is confused
People only want to think that you are misused
You are who you are
It’s only you that will achieve going far
If giving a speech makes you uncomfortable
Put the key word in your head “ABLE”
Practice around your kitchen table, and pretend it is a meeting around a Roundtable, but before you start, take a deep breath
Yet always instill, “I CAN DO THIS”
You will find you could do it after all
Overcoming fears means you must challenge them
Making it personal like a battle
Remember, it is you in the saddle
But the emphasis is victory
Your testimonial being your story
Deliver what you always wanted that was required
Your mission being what you always desired
Tell fear look out, you see your horizon moving about.

THE OPEN MIC
preservationman Sep 2020
Listen to me as I speak
Please don’t retreat
You said I have no soul
Yet it is my words that are fully whole
But with soul comes spirit
With honor comes merit
You think you understand
But I am my own man
I speak on trust and solitude
But let me add love to include
There are times I search for an interlude
But lately my life surrounds a prelude
I don’t need to introduce myself
I am Solo, and don’t follow everybody else
This world is a revolving life
There are times in life you must gain advice
It maybe good or bad
But that is the tad
My wardrobe might be plaid
But remember, I am a gentlemen referred to as a Lad
I won’t say again
Because I am at the end

RAPPED UP
preservationman Sep 2020
You said you always wanted a job
But I see you hanging out with an evil gang mob
It takes a true job to survive
That means working in a job from Nine to Five
That is no jive
You say you love
But you are nothing above
If you want attention
Your character was have representation
Being educated as an illustration
Yet with constructing inspiration
You must know whom you are in able to go far
You cannot impress with having a fancy car
You want to be together with me
That is something I will have to see
Be yourself and nobody else
Words can say anything
But it is trusting being the sling

ANGUISHED
preservationman Sep 2020
Full of destiny
Pride Within
Let me take a moment to think
Despair is my cry
There is no hope to even try
Deep in my own sorrows
I have no tomorrow
Hours are times of my still
So I cry again and again
I thought I would overcome
But all I got was none
Fulfillment feels like a far off distance
It doesn’t come in an instance
Hours beyond the seconds
Beckons on Reckons
Torn beyond repair
Life certainly isn’t fair
But do you or anybody really care?

FALLEN SKIES GRAND PIANO
preservationman Sep 2020
Taken by surprise
I just couldn’t believe my eyes
A Steinway and Sons Piano fell from the Heavenly skies
The Piano began to play
You are playing my song
The Keyboard Ivories played notes by themselves
All familiar tunes
The melody ever so sweet
The musical vibes
The Piano was bringing inspiration
But had everyone’s attention
The music had hope
Blessed is the name
Being doubtful having shame
The Grand Piano simply wanted to recognize
People walking the streets felt energized
Rhythm be blessed in your steps
The power of music from fallen skies can have that effect

HIDDEN SCRIBE
preservationman Sep 2020
Alone
No one knows how I feel or who I am
My cries mound to multitudes of aftermaths
Realities that responded to the fact
My battles are all within
Overcoming with question if can?
I have built walls like fortress all around me
What no one knows can’t see
My heart grows cold and useless
I am alone, so what do you expect
I am my own wonder and my inner spirit no one can look under
My interior is what I feel, but what has been placed
I am drowning within my tears
I am shouting allegorizing fears
I can’t open up
I must do this alone
Those are my superficial tones
Now go, and leave me alone
The world caused this
I stand in my own doubt
Nothing to think with no working out
I have locked all doors in my inner soul
You can’t nor anybody else to come in
Go, and leave me alone

ADVENTURE EAST TO WEST
preservationman Sep 2020
It was September 1983 being an autumn call
I am looking into my crystal ball, and it states it was a vacation with no stall
It was a Coast too Coast journey on a Greyhound Bus
My trip started from New York City too Los Angeles, California
I leaned back in my reclining seat
The Hound Bus with pictured windows made the scenery look ever so neat
This trip was definitely going to be a treat
It will be scenery that traces back in America’s history
Stories within stories
Majestic being gothic
There were Rest stops with arrivals and departures from Major Cities and towns
I am West Coast bound
4 Days exactly being the sound
I am writing my travel log
My journey involved high places such as Mountains and tunnels within the mountains
The beauty of the sunrise behind the mountains, and the sunrise adding energize to rise
My thought being, “This is how the West was won”
Venturing into the nothing more than the open road, and wide with acres of land space
It was various highway routes
Getting ever so close to my destination
Each state telling me, and here is your presentation
All that from my Greyhound bus Thru Coach
I witnessed Rocky Mountain high
The start of Colorado
My mind focuses on an old song, “Rocky Mountain high” by John Denver
It was sight before my eyes, the magnificent city of Los Angeles
Hollywood’s call
I did tour all
Adventure was the moment
The action was exploring in the movement
The Hound bus to return back East later
But for me, this is a vacation being a feast
preservationman Sep 2020
I would have never known
My eyes were opened full Blown
I dated you, and saw evidence that you were married
You never even mentioned that, and now I am in an affair
You are living in lies and dare
All that is so unfair
Then I saw where you are parenting a child
All happening dating me while
Apparently, there is no trust, and you are trying to outdone
Because you cheated on your mate and me
Your married mate is about too see
Your confession will be revealed on the spot
I have your address, and I don’t care if you like it or not
Your whole life will be exposed
Your Husband wears suppose
At night, he goes on the prowl
He has other men chanting like an owl
Now you must hold your head down
Honesty is my secrete sound
You didn’t think on that as we dated through the town
Now you are alone bound
That is what you get when you cheat
You were full of so much deceit
My integrity I can keep

SEX IN WRITE CITY
preservationman Sep 2020
Searching for love
All the romance to think of
The heart pounding
The moans that will be sounding
Looking and waiting at the same time
Searching being a find
A mate that is loving and kind
One to wine and dine
Later, let the interlude take its place
The finalize being a trace
The chemistry that must be right
Honesty from the start in plain sight
Loving all night long
Everlasting where it belongs
*** in the write city beyond
Now that is something to look forward upon

HEAVEN’S FEEL
preservationman Sep 2020
I was in a Night’s sleep
Suddenly within my subconscious, the Lord appeared
My immediate thought was, had Death arrived to carry me home
It was in fact not
The Lord wanted to take me on a journey on the outside of Heaven
I was swished through the wonders of the skies and through outer space
There it was the wonder of glory and praise, Heaven that I had heard and read about
The Lord gave me a guided tour from the air
All I can say is avion and mystigue, but Heaven was much more than that
I witnessed virtually being the fact
Of course being in the flesh, it couldn’t step directly in the center of Heaven
Otherwise, my soul would have automatically in precise being descended
But I was in the flesh seeing Heaven, and the Almighty wanted me to personally see it
I was overwhelmed, and asked the Lord, how soon could I arrive in Heaven
The Lord responded and said, “This isn’t your time, as he only wanted me to see Heaven, and what I could expect
I responded to the Lord, “I guess it will be back to bad Earth
The Lord said Yes, but also offered me encouragement, “You accepted Christ and you have been enriched in the Holy everlasting birth”
But I had travelled to many places, but Heaven was totally unique
I was then descended back to Earth, and my inner body returned to my fleshy body
By morning, I was rejoicing in praise and Hallelujah

Success come Front and Center
Inspiration being how you enter
Preparation in prosper
Aim high
No question needing an answer why
Reach is a Quest
Mission focused on Conquest
Testimony established on confess
The components being your test
Becoming the absolute best
Mountains are high and wide
Climb up that mountain with encouraging influence
Just remember, it takes courage in mustering endurance
You must know who you are and the skills that you possess
You are talented, and you have gained access
Reach is more than just grab
It’s a lifetime that will last
You are the quality and the essence
Reach beyond
Achieve your control
Always be prepared, and keep your mind educated in concepts and theories
You are the chosen wonder with many mysteries
Yet you are your own history of numerous stories
Remember all the legacies
Reach and be accepted
Reach and be appreciated
Reach in illustrated
But the most important process, “Always believe in yourself”.

EVER
preservationman Sep 2020
A story or living ever after
The theory of one being clever
A negative entity thought of never
But it is a matter of gather
Yet connecting together
Being like no other
One must have strength to muster
Sometimes talk in chatter
Situations that truly matter
Think your thoughts further
All the resources of either
Together with sweat and Fever
Yet nothing lasts forever

MIRROR LIKE A MICROSCOPE
preservationman Sep 2020
The look in between
The ****** expression looking mean
As you see the reflection
The mirror is getting someone’s attention
The physical makeup is the representation
Where does one get hope?
Will one be able to cope?
I know the mirror doesn’t have an answer
You are only a mirror, and not a crystal ball
But you are a mirror for all
You are not a physic
It is only the reflection
I know you don’t instill education
I must go elsewhere to find hope
Perhaps, it is a book
All I have to do is take a look
I am told from an inner voice, I am getting warm
Maybe it is a newspaper or magazine
The computer can also give me some insight
Now I am told I am cold
Ah, behold
It is a book it is in the form of the Bible
It comprises of scriptures with hope throughout
The mirror responded, “That is how things will be worked out”

WRITING NOW INTO LATER
preservationman Sep 2020
It depends on the heart
The sentences that are put together
Words in Control
Bellows are the thoughts
The battle of the mind, and the tongue being fought
Writing from beginning until the end
Where do I start?
The journey into the possibilities
Understanding and suggestion having theory
But only half the story
Words and sentences that parallel
The compact with the inspiration
It becomes fact
Just imagine that
Struggling at every turn
I am thinking on writing while I am alone
Too write or not?
Now let me think on a plot
It isn’t a question after all
Too write in actual is the over all.

The thought of Justice
Given rights in the Constitution

It’s Judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg you see
She fought for Women’s Rights
It was at a time being a Women’s plight
Judge Ginsberg voice of persuasion
Her determination showing representation
Judge Ginsberg will be a legacy loss
She was one of Supreme Court’s victorious contributing force
The world will remember
Now Judge Ginsberg rests in Heaven’s slumber
Heaven has laws for her look at
Judge Ginsberg is now the Spiritual fact
Her work on Earth complete
Now her soul is in Heaven’s in God’s retreat
The Sundown was Judge Ginsberg work done
She is no longer among
Sunrise to Sundown being her footsteps
A Judge’s life in Heaven
Judge Ginsberg’s legacy is look up
I will be watching from Heaven above

THIS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD
preservationman Sep 2020
You are going to die
This was the Devil putting struggle in try
It was actually the Doctors telling me why
At that moment, I wanted to cry
But I thought, let me pray
I knew deeply, I would be ok
My prayer started out with Oh Lord
Throughout the prayer, I mentioned his accord
After that, it became Amen
Suddenly, I felt inspiration
My heart was feeling appreciation
But it all came down to affiliation
I went back to the Doctor, and the test showed their conclusion in a total different direction
The Doctor’s couldn’t understand how or why
But I know the results first hand and knew who had the answer
There were no longer traces of Death
I still have years on the Earth left
That moment of prayer
Despite turned into preserver
It all came about because Heaven in my soul was near

The world sees trouble
The Black Man sees purpose
A world has questions with assuming answers
As a Black Man is understanding who we are
Believing in truth, Integrity and sense in knowing how to succeed
Yes I will fall, but will get up
Standing on value
Achieving where others are frightened to achieve
This is the Black Man’s destiny
Criticize me at your free will
Engraved in the soul and heart is the solidarity still
The will to conquer
The desire to fulfill
My name is not the Dollar Bill
I am rich in Heavenly qualities beyond the world’s thinking
Some say imaginary
While dwell on ordinary
But a Black Man is extraordinary
I stand not only being Black, but for all men in all Races
You can’t come into my world unless you truly believe in yourself
The mirror only shows the reflection outward, but you must understand yourself inward
Not unusual
It’s a Black Man’s strong values
Morals sustained
You see a Black Man as a threat
But you have already loss the bet
This Black Man is truly a Man
One who can and shall
There are dreams that will come true
Only a true man can say that
It’s being straight up fact
It will be proven
A man today, tomorrow and everlasting
Follow a destined man
Destination with arrival at survival
The reaction will become a marvel
Only a true man knows
No mountain high
The sunrise that passes by
This Black Man will always rise
It’s a new day, and I am energized

Man says you need a College Degree to excel
Heaven has its own tell
Heaven incorporates a decree in divine understanding
Yet praying in Faith is what is outstanding
However, it is throughout sustaining
A degree is only a piece of Cardboard
It can be torn and thrown away
Heaven’s decree is in the heart and soul that will always stay
The decree is Heaven’s decree in salvation Higher Learning, but with understanding
Man’s emphasizes Degree
Heaven emphasizes the soul in decree
Yet the Bible is the Teacher and Learning tool
Man states the Degree of fulfillment is what is cool
Man’s books are nothing more than theories and concepts
The Bible gives knowing how to live using the concepts in realities like case studies giving hope in knowing how to cope
Higher Learning is a process through a certain period
Yet Heaven’s Higher sustaining salvation is external into everlasting
However, Man’s Higher Learning, one doesn’t always master or understand the principles involved
The Bible opens up the principles with divine understanding beyond any College Textbook
Salvation is the educate, and all one has to do is take a look
So Man thinks a degree that will take you far
Yet knowledge, wisdom and perception is Heaven’s components come beyond the stars
A degree may look good with your name and degree name
But Heaven is all the Higher Learning involved having aim
It takes Prayer, Faith, Believing and Trusting being God’s decree to everlasting education and knowledge
Man’s Degree and Heaven’s decree all over privilege
But Heaven is the key that truly gives leverage

A world continues to be on edge
Suicidal serving no privilege
This COVID-19 being Coronavirus
It is certainly mean
No matter one tried to keep clean
The virus has taken accelerating lives
There is no cure, and it is a wonder if anybody will ever survive
So the world wonders in despair
No one wants the Coronavirus anywhere near
Yet, it is all over the air
Imagine for a second, a virus having a street name
The virus has made history
Within science, there are many mysteries
What could the street name be Coronavirus Plaza, Walks, Avenue or Blvd
Right now, we are living in the still waiting for normal ever after
This is no joke with laughter
Our tomorrow now
What our yesterday was
But still questions in wonder
One thing that is certain
We are living behind the dark curtain
We are in wait
Our patience is hesitate
Yet wait and see
No one has any idea in the Coronavirus continuing to be
Again, we must wait and see
It involves you and me

Fast in moving
A dream is only a dream
At least that is what it would seem
It sounds impossible
Yet there is truth
I am asleep, but I am unable to be awoke
I see my life maneuvering within my dream
I am standing and surrounded by a lovely intriguing stream
I glaze and see my own reflection
But comes a story behind it
I am tormented by many storms
I cry and tears are flowing fountains
Suddenly I am among the mountains
High and mighty with interesting peaks
Alone I am
Then I am surrounded by humble and peace
Silence is in the atmosphere
Immediately I am compelled to turn, turn and turn
Like a Stop Watch, I am in the heart of my dream
Yet I feel frightened
But somewhere within me, I am enlightened
A certain trust comes over me
Yet there is no vision of existence for me to see
A voice echoes walk
I find myself in a talk
Suddenly have to stop
I wonder and asked myself, is this a dream will true
It seemed my yesterday became today
But there was no need for me to worry about tomorrow
My tomorrow had already taken place
Yet I walked and continued to walk
But a voice in the distance gave me a talk
You think you are alone, but I am with you letting it be known
The place that you wonder about is Heaven
It’s about Praise and Rejoice
You have stepped in, and never ever will have to step out

The Cliff Hanger
The person was dangling for life
All alone
A name that is unknown
Giving away to the possibilities
Holding on tightly that could become a tragedy
One could yell, but who would hear?
One could pray, but still hold fear?
Alone being a Cliff Hanger in danger
A give way could become finally giving in
It could very well be how the story will end
A beginning that was a start
The situation might extend into depart
Hope must be focused
Doubt completely ruled out
Somewhere somehow the situation will be worked about
Is tomorrow a conclusion?
Does one mind form an illusion?
But the Cliff Hanger got a rescue
It was in due time
One survived to tell
It was a matter in believing hope
That’s how the Cliff Hanger was able to cope
The Cliff Hanger knows
Hang tough and be tough
A tight situation might be rough
But once again, hang tough and be tough spiritually

WOODEN MOVING SCALES
preservationman Sep 2020
So just what are these wooden moving scales
Will tell in a moment without fail
It was a man by the name of Kenn Stoliker
He was involved as a Trailways Motor Coach Driver
It involves the highway and a bus
But there is an added plus
His daily journeys were within Pennsylvania and New York City
It was Mr. Stoliker’s dedication always focused precisely on the steering wheel, and safety for all the passengers on his bus
But here is the added plus
When Mr. Stoliker retired, he was still active in the bus community
He created toy wooden scale buses being his unity
Yet, it was a long lasting hobby becoming a craft
Mr. Stoliker would use tracing paper and cardboard to organize how the bus will look in wood
He would study actual bus drawings to make sure that the toy scale wooden bus will come out like the real original
Design and scratch would be the appropriate terms
The bus industry was still in Mr. Stoliker’s heart because it was a commitment
Picture a man driving a bus as a career then retire and still work with buses
Any bus that people missed the ride, it could be a bus that only Mr. Stoliker’s scale in design could provide
But these would be toy scale wooden models that no one could ride
I have some of Mr. Stoliker’s toy wooden buses craftsmanship in my collection
For me, it is my own preservation
So it was a man with pure dedication
Mr. Stoliker was my presentation
He died a couple of months ago
He is now in everlasting peace
A place of solitude and reward
An honor in praise
A journey well done
In my heart always among
But his last words would probably be, “Welcome aboard and watch your step”
Wooden bus affair
Craftsmanship in Mr. Kenn Stoliker’s designing care
His hobby I wanted to share

The air might feel eerie
A night full of uncertainty
I only walk in the spirit
Perhaps it is my own merit
I was killed in the flesh for a crime I didn’t commit
My death was the answer in being it
Now I have decayed with no flesh left
I rose during a full moon
No, this isn’t a time of an Earthly doom
I rose from my tomb
The one’s that killed me when I was in my flesh thought
I was Evil and full of deceit
Yet it was a crime I didn’t take
I got a retreat
My soul is still at rest
Yet I am walking, but no one can touch
I am the living spirit
I am glorified
But when others see me they will be petrified
I won’t harm
I walk in peace
Heaven is my roam
I am in paradise
I only rose to give you advice
Live your full life out
Wisdom will help you maneuver about
Life at times will feel like a challenging bout
But you will understand later
I must return to paradise
Take in my advice
Don’t be callus and let your heart be cold as ice
Show respect and be nice

It was an Old Man and a little boy
The boy’s name was Troy
The Old Man’s simply wanted to be called, The Old Man
I sat in the Old Man’s lad
It told his story being a chat
The Old Man’s story was his days maneuvering a Motor Coach Bus
He would often tell stories and jokes to all his passenger folks
It would the passengers feel relaxes and sit back and don’t be perplexed
His wisdom being the open door
I had to enter and explore
The Old Man’s driving were journey’s were like picture windows
You had to observe and take it all in
The Old Man’s stories was more than driving, it was action in movement, but fun in entertaining
As a Little boy, for me it was all about sustaining
The Old Man’s experiences were more like chores
Within me, I felt the need to applaud
It was more than his moving wheels
As the Old Man talked further, it was like I was hearing movie reels
He talked more than driving a Bus he also had made scale buses that he personally designed
He even gave me one of his scale buses, and felt the Old Man was kind
His adventures of destination to destination
But as the Old Man talked, I was hearing dedication
Then suddenly, I was beginning to fall asleep
My eyes tried hard to take awake

I finally gave in
The old man then said, “Good Night lad, and the end.

CHANGING YOUR SITUATION

Vanilla and Chocolate are a mix
Then added other ingredients that fit
It’s not guess whose coming to dinner
Instead, it is welcome and enter
Colors are only the many variations
Put them together creates appreciations
Chocolate seems to be a problem
A situation that needs not be
Many hit and don’t want to see
But look at that chocolate, it could very well be me
Vanilla thinks they are the answer
But the answer really is from within with theory of respect
It is not about elect having an effect
The true answer is the right mindset with a fulfilling ingredient of prosperity
It doesn’t matter if you are Strawberry, Cherry, Lemon or Lime
The fact is come together in unity in being kind
That is true genuine
All Races are the ingredients that add the flavor of desire and outcome of wholesome
Goodness comes in all flavors
Take in the creation of savor
Senses can open your mind
Your inner soul can surely act kind
Flavors have no prejudice
It’s a built in force with wrong understanding
It shouldn’t circle around sustaining
Situations are not the battle, but it is the battle within the body extending into thoughts
I learned for 8 weeks “Changing the Narrative, but my version is Changing Your Situation”
Approach with concise thinking
Let knowledge educate through the devoted teaching
Understand you and all about you, and what you stand for
Don’t justify that needs no judgment
Chocolate is no repel
Be the flavor of full representation
The words are only the indication
Respond to situations with a cause and effect that is appropriate
It’s nothing that should be strenuous
It’s not a subject matter that should be curious
So what flavor do you consider yourself?

HISTORIAN WONDER
preservationman Aug 2020
Many times you will hear a person say having no name
But saying that I would be lame
In this particular case, it’s a bus with a name but no company name
Got it
Let me move on into more detail
It was the Mack MV620, but where you find a Mack, there is also fact
Greyhound in 1957, they6 were asked to test a new prototype bus that had just came out with the possibility of coming to be part of their bus fleet
How neat
So Greyhound tested the bus, and it didn’t take long for Greyhound to discontinue the test
The test was conducted on a schedule from Chicago to San Francisco
Greyhound did that for a month, and when the test was complete, they gave their analysis
Greyhound had concluded that the bus was neat, but it just didn’t fit in with its current fleet
The front looked like a bus, but the back looked more like a sedan
As an added detail, the restroom is located on the Drivers side way in the back of the bus as composed the restroom conventional now on the right side or door side if you will
That the was the end of where the bus stops here began
But Greyhound Bus Management back then, they didn’t see the Long Range plan of what the Mack MV620 could have become
Imagine, Greyhound being the Nations Leader Transportation Carrier with a new structured bus that no one had ever heard about or seen
Greyhound would have been that company in introducing the bus to America
In fact, the Mack MV620 would have been marketable with the right advertising and the right advising
The Mack MV620 was a model ahead of its time back then
But that is all when
This is now with no win
Now the Mack MV620 is wandering around looking for a final home into where it could roam
Yet, a lot of people still don’t know that the Mack MV620 is still known
Yo Mack, I got your back
This was all a reflection in enlightening the fact

Destination being the speed of intervention
The idea of life being expectation
Acceleration beyond anyone’s dreams
The fascination of a moving stream
The Moon having a smile
The observance in captivation while
Living what should be sustaining
Joyful and thankful remaining
Amaze being praise
Yet destine having a direction
It’s like a choice of music being selection
Fulfillment into until
Life of opportunity if you will
This is your chance to fulfill
Perhaps make up for loss time

Horns are you ready?
Strings tune up
Bring the music up
It was 1842
Harlem Nights
It was Jazz being known
Pure talent being full blown
Eubie Blake arranged all that
Foot storming following a track
Then all of a sudden, it was the audience respond
Spotlights and rhythm to look upon
The audience was compelled and joined the dance floor
The tempo was high and no one could ignore
Sensation became a masterpiece
Forget all your troubles at least
Jazz turned people from being sad into glad
Transformed mad into happy
It was tap stepping with the body moving
Dancing full of joy
This isn’t a ship ahoy
It was Jazz for all to enjoy
Harlem was no longer asleep
In fact, they didn’t miss one beat
Harlem was alive
All one could do was dance with a strive
So I hope you got your dancing shoes on
This is the Jazz crave, so come along
All that Jazz

THRILL RIDE POET
preservationman Aug 2020
I am at an all time high
Wonder why?
I am on a rollercoaster involving my own words in the up and down thrills
I am being taken in all kinds of directions
It doesn’t matter if it involves turns
I know it is all adventure, and I will venture back
It is the skies with no limit
I didn’t think a rollercoaster thought have being a poet an impact in me
But it does
It goes beyond the rollercoaster incline
But coming being adventure of words lines jolted down with joys of inspiration
The turn is only the appreciation
My mind in the unexpected mode of creation
My own words took me for a ride
It took me high above the people below
At first it was slow
Then the rollercoaster accelerated and it was all go
It was my own yells being gratification
I have been given the joy to write
Rollercoaster made sure in pure sight
So let you and I take a rollercoaster ride, and just see how far our combined words can go
Get ready to go downhill, and this is called “Free Will”
But hold on, as you won’t be able to keep still

The announcement has been called, “Welcome Aboard, and claim your seat at Gate 15”
Think Greyhound and Trailways
It was back in those days
Two bus companies who were competitive
But each company had their own objective
It was outdo the other by being the best
As for the customer, it was their test
It was achieving in passenger in destination in rides
It was revenues that would be strides
So Greyhound was the dog and Trailways had the Eagle
Trailways being an Eagle to soar beyond the possibilities
As for the Hound dog, it was like a race in a speed run
The essence were both their flashing lights
They were often seen day and night
It would be schedules around the clock
No matter what kind of weather, it was no time to stop
From sunrise to sundown
The Hound Dog and the Eagle could be found
But there was a change in the bus lanes
The Independent Trailways is now in the Greyhound family in a merger of combined operations
Some Trailways Terminals were converted into Greyhound Terminals
While others were closed completely
But at the same token, Greyhound had moved into Transportation Centers not being their own Terminals
The perfect example of that is the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City
The idea is to cut expenses while reducing economical costs
But what is left in the bus lanes today is small independent Trailways carriers, which even today, Greyhound shares
Those independent Trailways carriers cover various parts of the United States
So Greyhound and Trailways names you know
Although
Greyhound still reigns supreme in the tow
But you have bargain buses that stop on the streets in the flow
Bus Lanes may have changed
But the Greyhound name still remains
The highway bus lanes of the past, but Greyhound is still accelerating the dog moving fast
Bus lanes know
Whether it be the Hound or the Eagle
Both were born to achieve
But Greyhound is still here to preserver
So Highway Bus Lanes, have no fear

Companies say, “Equal Opportunity Employer”
But the question becomes equal for what minority group
Diversity covers all races at all ages
But how does equal make the race scale unbalanced
It is more of add with a subtract
Then it becomes observation in fact
A is one minority group, B is another and C being another
If A is predominate in 50 percent, and B is only 2 percent and C is 1 percent
How is equal when it comes to employment
The scale must be balanced all the way around and equal in abilities
It should be simplified and not complex
The equation must be balanced in the algebraic theory of principle having a concept
Let’s look at a sea saw, if one goes up while the other goes down, there is no balance, but when parallel of both equal the center, there you balanced within the possibilities being justified
Why can’t this same principle be in the Work Place
The Work Place seems not to be equal at all of what seems what I call the element factor
Element Factor referring to an employer’s own rules in how they control and determine
It is the standards of what companies want employees to believe
Human Resources having their own rules of the spoken word, hire or reject
Since Affirmative Action is no longer practiced, so why is it on the employment application
If it is voluntary, why bother to even add it
That too is part of why the unbalanced in the Work Place
Would put 10 Dogs and two Cats in a room together
Of course not, one it would be awkward and certainly unbalanced in the situation
I used that as a metaphor
So equal doesn’t equal at all
Addition is simply subtract
Again, back to that fact
Think on that
But I want you to relish what I stated with balance the scale in your mind, and construct the spectrum of equality
You just got a taste in a lesson of true reality.

INSTINCT ATTACK
preservationman Aug 2020
The timeline being September 11, 2001
The place was New York City
A city that was shown no pity
The day warm, clear cloudless skies and Sunny
It has always been said, quite it before the storm
But it was a day of pure unexpected
Destruction that came swift
Nothing to do but response
The drama that became straight like a movie action screen
Commercial Airliners were like missiles in a war
The only differences, witnesses actually saw
The target were the previous Twin Towers 1 and 2
The first Commercial Airliner attacks tower 2 with a mass explosion
Employees working in that building made their escape, while others in attempt perished
Some were stuck in Elevators
Some even jumped out of windows to their death
Precision had another plan, another Commercial Airliner pummels into Tower 1,
First tower 2 felt and then tower 1 in hours
Meanwhile, below on the streets, people were running, screaming and crying with what seemed like a war within the downtown area of New York City
But the reality was, who did such an evil act, but would there be a tomorrow
The act was Middle Eastern Terrorist Group
Nothing but sorrow after sorrow
I am telling this as of information, I was suppose to work on the 103rd floor of Tower One for a company, but the company felt I was overqualified
For me that was a blessing in disguise
I did witness Tower 2 get hit from my job on the 14th Floor
It was like seeing a Movie Screen 3D
Everyone was a star in this actual reality
But the ashes have cleared, and rebuilding has been done and complete
The scars being a reminder, “Never Forget”
Lives loss
New York City felt the force in grief
But could a terrorist act surface again on New York City
Be watchful and observe the skies
Heaven is in charge
But do observe into the possibilities

SWEATY AND DAMP
preservationman Aug 2020
It surrounds exercise in *******
The clank and powerful of the lift
It’s fitness bluffs in lifting the weights
It’s intensity in how it relates
Moans and groans determine to achieve
The outcry of victory in lifting those weights
The transformation is a wait
Pain and no gain not an outcry of satisfaction
It’s the movement from set to another in the action
As the weight rises let so the strength
The focus is going the entire length
Pump up the energize
Visualize on one’s exercise
Sweat pouring down on the body on training efforts
Resistance training being lots of information
******* gyms were always the center of attention
But they are still worth to mention
Whether training for competition or not
Training takes efforts, which says a whole lot
Mind and soul has to equal the power to conquer
The plateau is only conditions in preparations to overcome
*******, a name that sounds so long ago
But the pump full up with blood being flush that comes being the flow
Training is about discipline
It might sound insane
But in order to know, you must train
The aftermath in results being a body transformation
You must connect to the body infusion
But the end results will be your own conclusion
Training discipline is no illusion

You summoned me
You gave me a mission
But it requires your permission
You told me to go and speak about

Still your words charge authority

Go now, and do my bidding

FORBIDDEN PASTURES
preservationman Aug 2020
Restricted full of discipline
Parents who raised their son Johnny
A boy who was taught right from wrong
The same concept in educating in how to get along
Johnny often told his parents he wanted to go out
But it became more of a shouting match than discussion
It was always total disruptions on both sides
But this was Johnny’s Parent house, and he would have to abide
Yet, Johnny always wanted to venture about
In Johnny’s eyes, it was about exploring life’s enjoyments in care
That is no more than fair
But Johnny’s parent’s who were so strict wanted their son to have the best things in life, and higher learning in education was the absolute key
Johnny’s Parent didn’t want their son to hang out on the streets than become a **** controlling the streets
This was a lesson of living survival
But it is inspiration being noble
Yet, when one is a Teenager being like Johnny, you want to find yourself
He wanted to fit I with his peers
But that is what Johnny’s Parent always feared
This is why Johnny was restricted on every bound
The idea for Johnny was to climb the mounds being their son’s own success
But Johnny’s words says it best, “Being young you want friends too look upon, and endure the sweet smell of humanism”
However, Johnny’s Parent were thinking beyond their son’s mind being intellectual
So being restricted having a reason and purpose
Isn’t that obvious?
Life on roadblock, but caution to no unjustified flock
Johnny, be your best, and let learn confess
Those words came from Johnny’s parent
You are our only son, we want you to live and be among.

Once upon a time
As I was sipping my wine
The clock struck 12
I saw with my own eyes elves
I didn’t know what to think
Perhaps I was thinking on a story I read in ink
But all during while
I knew this situation wasn’t my style
I tried to stand up
But felt back on my couch
I might have been drunk
But my mind is thinking, it is all bunk
Yet, the elves were surrounding me
At least that is what I could see
Maybe my mind was focusing on a fairytale
My wine could very well have been ale
But not in the ginger tense
Suddenly I began to drift off
Journey I was
Venture into the unknown
Land of where
But my mind was getting me nowhere
So my drift was into my bed
I felt asleep instead
The elves I didn’t remember
Perhaps I was somber
I am not going to even wonder

Struggles beyond compare
Jesus on the cross I share
Beaten and wearing painful thorns
The voice of the Lord wants us all the get along
Jesus carrying the Heavy Cross through the streets
The wicked full of deceit and moment of defeat
Overcoming the quest with a mission in fulfilling
But Jesus was humble and willing
Lord my God, please forgive the world for they know not what they do
But determined Faith is what we all must pursue
We must fulfill the promise of redeeming our souls
Hope throughout the declaration, but creation for our tomorrow
Finally Jesus last words, “It is down”
We must go through many trials and tribulations
Remember went through many contributions
The Cross being our solid guidance of Faith
Then Victory came
Jesus rose in spirit and becomes stationery in our soul
Behold and don’t be saddened
When we fall, we will get out
It’s a matter of trust and fulfilling one’s inner soul
Go Forth
Live through the eyes of the Heavenly Father
Walk in blessed peace
Feel the praise and emotion
The seas are calm throughout every ocean
Let us walk on our own seas in believing
Let the joy of spirit in receiving
Goodness that follows
The melody with the soothing harps
The secrete of peace
The journey in feeling at ease
On Lord, please

BAR STOOL FIGURES
preservationman Aug 2020
It happened at a street bar
The bar was in the heart of town being only two blocks not far
It was raining out
Yet people were moving swiftly about
A woman entered the bar for a drink
Minutes later, a man entered, but his mind was on something I think
Now it is clear that the man and the woman were sitting side by side
But there was no talk at first with a reside
But remember, the man and the woman are strangers, and really have no reason to talk
Neither one wanted to act as if it was a stalk
The man and the woman concentrated on their drinks
They were probably thinking on how good or bad their day went
It didn’t matter, the man and woman drinks felt heaven sent
Suddenly, the drinks brought on a conversation
At least that was one revelation
There was finally talking engagement
Could it be the alcohol was doing the maneuvering?
However, on the bar stool, the man and woman looked like they were a couple
They really got to know each in talk
The man invited the woman to his place
She followed being a trace
The bar stool is finally free to breathe
Then again, the bar stool might have felt received
As what happened to our man and woman couple?
The bar stool and I won’t say
But as far as I know, the man and the woman couple are still together on this day.
