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.

STEP INTO MY SHOES
preservationman Aug 2020
Not quite the right fit
Your feet are not for it
I am genuine
The width for the purpose
The length for comfort
The exact precision in walking obvious
This is only a test
But it is a true confess
Step in or step out
You can only try out being determined
Your foot circumference would change
The agenda will remain the same
You can’t change your foot size
I puzzled in your eyes with an amaze
Your foot is the defuse
My shoes in wearing I can only use
You can only step in, but will never fulfill
There is no way in will
My shoes are what truly fit
That is all too it

BARBELL ALLEY
preservationman Aug 2020
Observe the dents and the bents
This barbell is sitting alone in the alley
How long has it been there you ask?
It has been years, but it is a forgotten story
The barbell was rusted and old
But doing its day, trainers knew how to take hold
The barbell was outside a once very active Gym
The owner’s first name happened to be Jim
The Gym’s name was called “Fitness Theory Gym”
The members were all Fitness Buffs and Bodybuilder’s that were massive and muscular
The gym was strictly *******
All about fitness being the core
Yet all the trained was centered around barbells with an uptown grade being called weights
Walking pass on any given day, you could hear the sounds of moans in lift
Catch my drift?
But a Financial Crisis at the gym slowed business down
Little by Little, the members could no longer be found
In fact, it was next to none
So the gym had no choice but to close down
But then again, gym after gym was no longer bound
The end of fitness and ******* not being the sound
So one loss barbell that was left in a forbidden alley
Rusted and no place to go to be lifted
The barbell stayed in the alley until sanitation arrived
A barbell being old and no longer in use
Also a barbell no one could see
A ******* past with what used to be

A SONG STARTED IT ALL
preservationman Aug 2020
“Sake of Myself” by Walt Whitman
Be who you are
Not people wanting you to be
Let your own emotions and presentations of words and sentences for the world to see
My heart being the open page
At times, it might even be rage
The Heavens above deserving the praise
Becoming a Poet that is God’s amaze
Please call me arrange
Change is my aim
Melody with a clause
Give me a moment, and let me pause
A Singer’s song tells me I am a Poet where I belong
But I must be inspired and remain strong
A voice within says for me to be assured
I hear echoing sounds of an applause
Life in me with sharing my experiences with others
This is my unveil
A beginning with everlasting sustaining
This is my time
It’s not once but continuous
Walk with me being assurance
Encourage me being influence
Understand me in listen
My destiny is to intertwine the write
But be kind throughout every plight
The song said it all
Write with no time to stall
But I will get writer’s block like a fall
Conquer with a breakthrough
The song is encouragement to be inspired through
Sake of myself
Don’t be like everybody else
We are Poet’s, be yourself

My heart bleeds
My emotions disturbed
The stars don’t twinkle
The Moon doesn’t shine
My mind being the closed door
My assurance is no more
My ears in not hearing
The door is locked
Yet I have been mocked
My scaled is unbalanced
I was once upon a time
I was full of hope and dreams
But not I am only mean
Once upon an idea
Prosperity used to come near
My life is nothing more than Death
Decay on target
Despair is my journey
Doubt being my adventure
My heart is permanently closed, and no one can enter

TRUMP STUMP
preservationman Aug 2020
Our United States President functions like a speed bump
His words are more like a bodybuilding term in pump
Yet his speeches use sentences that are garbage that need to be dumped
But our President is acting like a chump
His decisions are like treasons
As for the White House Administration his speech is within reasons
I call it permissions are his missions
Everywhere the President goes, it is like he is carrying poison
Whatever he touches amounts to nothing
The United States is confused
Yet his voters feel not used
Washington, DC is in a complete mess
The media says that too be jest
I don’t know what our representatives are thinking
But their trust is just sinking
The entire world is watching, and thinking fear
Even the overseas countries don’t want our President near
A change needs to come
We need a President that has wisdom
It will take the powers from heaven being the kingdom
Heaven is the true goodness
I can say as I am the witness
Trump is stuck on his own understanding
Yet having no knowledge is nothing sustaining
I pray for a change
The U.S. needs a agenda in arrange
The Presidency goes farther than the vote
This is about the current President with a new revolt
This is no joke
Every given word is a questionable voice spoke
Pray for change coming
Trump Stump dump
Washington, DC, I hope you hear me
A true vote the world will see

The ingredients of patience
Emotion of tolerance
Yet a questionable assurance
This is involves elements of the job market having influence
It surrounds the three elements I described in the title above
It has nothing to do with a cooking selection
How Recruiters review applicants being their regularization
Applicants can feel as though they are being picked for a job like a bet at a Horse Racking Track
Are they wagering their bets?
Perhaps relishing on their own regrets
Recruiters are saying they are using the Applicant Tracking System as an alibi
But it is through understanding, and here is the reason why
Computers can make errors causing an oversight
An Applicant that might not have the words in the Resume, but is qualified to be considered for the job, but has been separated from the interviewing pack
It’s all pure fact, and no need for me to trace back
It’s a wonder that applicant’s even apply for any job
Because like cattle in the pasture, the applicant becomes just another candidate mob
I know the volume of candidate’s make the Recruiter’s job difficult
But look at the damage to the applicant being felt
The applicant feeling positive then it turns either an interview or no interview at all being negative with no exact reason why
Yet, applicants are told to keep trying, but what is the purpose?
It often has been said to try and try again
But the can becomes the reason for when
It’s abilities that applicants have been in to make their skills solid along with their experience
But the whole process is like competing in the Olympic Games using endurance
Where is the inspiration of assurance?
Again, applicants are told to proceed proceed, but what is the need?
Opportunity is what applicant needs in being a chance
It’s not look me over in a distance glance
To be honest, no Recruiter even understands the applicant page
The agenda becomes the regular stage
I am an applicant, and Recruiters would be amazed
It seems the applicant is ****** into the volume like a vacuum cleaner
Nothing could be meaner
Recruiters only see the applicant as just another voice in competition, but they don’t see what value the applicant can bring to the company
It all falls under assumption in what the Recruiter individually thinks
So Recruiters, are you looking for rare, medium well or well done
Recruiters, are you gamed in keeping candidates among?
What is your candidate selection?

The story of a sleep seen asleep
The same city full of life awake
The ever changing of the skyscraper landscapes
The words and sentences blend in with no pretend
Endless miles of a city being no end
Photographic instincts
But with beauty and contrast
It’s the words that bring any city alive being intrigued to last
Turning with varying angles
A fruit stand man selling refreshing mangles
A city that doesn’t seem to age
However, it is the assortment and lights that always seem to amaze
A photo shot here and there
But it is the writer beyond compare
Smile, I captured the moment, and could be Candle Camera
But words that stood out with this title, “Any City being for sure, but it is the photo’s that standout being center core”
Show me the words, and I will illustrate a city that many only heard about
Photogenic, you have to be in it
So continue to stand tall all the skyscrapers in the world
It doesn’t matter if it is downtown, midtown or anywhere in between around town, it’s the words themselves that add to the marvel sight
However, it is the night where the skyscrapers shine bright
Flash here and click there
Words to view by
But photographic in every try

You are the experiment
You are the scientific specimen
Physics with molecules
We are science and can’t refuse
Medicines created for healing and relieving pain in mine

But that is better than experimenting with mud

Into the Milky Way through space waste
Science captivating the venture
Getting scientific understanding specifics an adventure

Writing with an affection
It might feel like an addiction
But it is truly a presentation
Adding to the heat
But writing with no retreat
Sit down and have a seat
What you are about to hear is my writing beat
Lips to lips in mine
Trust and be kind
Sip ever so carefully on that wine
Romance and Candle as we dine
The background is set for an everlasting effect
Now it love between the sheets

Pulsation and appreciation being the seek
The summer sweat

Hot and humid is the night
I am accelerating my tempo into the words, but cool down my emotion
Feel the high of the moment of the interlude feeling like a soothing ocean
Get ready to set sail

So I wrote to excite
So this is a good night

I know a place
A secrete horizon
It’s often talked about
No one knows if it is East, West, North or South
Yet it is pure
It is Heaven
A place I want to be
But when the time is right
A place of peace and praise
Thinking on Heaven and God’s amaze
But, I must wait
It won’t be a hesitate
It will be arrival into my new home
The ringing of the trumpet and bell
It will be my time in tell
Yet, I must wait
I am looking to the prize
However, while on Earth, I must realize
Faith is the key to energize
Rejoice and let your heart be filled with joy
As I wait, let me prepare
God sits high above in the air
Transform and transcend my soul
Be ready
Wait just wait

IF I CAN HELP SOMEBODY
preservationman Jul 2020
My Grandmother would often say those words, “If I Can Help Somebody”
It didn’t matter if it was monetary, Food or just a word of encouragement in wisdom
That was my Grandmother’s motto speaking words in getting her closer to the kingdom
I would often observe, but didn’t understand at the time
Growing up you begin to wonder
What does life have in store?
The answer, you have to think living in order to explore
As my Grandfather would said, “Live and Learn”
My Grandmother was only doing God’s will
Now that is a big platform to fill
But that was my Grandmother’s way being her personality in the bill
Yet somehow, that is encouragement for me in hope still
Don’t look for an award, but be glorified to help
Now that is heart felt
Worry not, but be joyful through
Help in need
There’s a proceed
Praise in chant
Yet, will always think on my Grandmother’s mission in how I can help somebody
No specific person, but anybody
Her spirit from Heaven
Help until satisfied
In God I will abide.

Alphabets signaled the words being it
But my mind was concentrating are the words being the one to fit
Lips were silent, but somehow the letters rang loud
Echoes all in my head
Disturbances all around instead
But there were words that needed to be said
However, I felt a word of caution in forbid
Sentences didn’t seem to mine
But my emotions focused on incline
Where will my heart turn?
The struggles compounding into a heated urn
It was war of words, but silent within the tongue
But that was then
Words began to come, but my lips remained silent
I knew I was determined to have sentences with letters at one time

There was no time for shatter
The lips had to be still
Yet it took will
So silent were the lips, but the words that came loud and clear strong

Don’t be afraid, but be galvanized
Heaven sees and provides
My eyes tear
But not for sadness
Yet the uplifting of possibilities
While many have said can’t
I have will
We are on a schedule of time
It’s the moment saying, be on time
Move with grace
The Mountain is high, but can I climb?
It’s endurance with assurance
Climb
Destined to reach the top
Only stop for a moment being a brief pause
Your mission has a cause
It is becoming harder harder and harder to climb
My mind says, keep going as you are doing just fine
I was told I never make it
But a voice says be determined to climb
I reached the top and saw Certainty fulfillment Bridge in the distance
I knew I was meant and prepared for the journey
I did it poor with no money
But accomplished I did
I am proud having no hid
Climbing in knowing I shall climb
I fulfilled the request
My assurance grew stronger
Chance at every advance

Strength in spirit, and doubt quietly declined

I DID AND YOU SHALL

Congressmen John Lewis, remembrance from his soul
The torch shines
A reflection of Congressmen John Lewis walks in the spirit
My Brothers and my Sisters
He achieved for all minority races
It wasn’t about being Black, White, Green nor purple
It was the standard of Freedom for all
His stance was on the fight to make Freedom and Voting right
Beaten and tore full of scars
But that didn’t stop Congressmen John Lewis for being determined to go far
His journey carried him across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama
While others wondered and showed fear
He knew God was always near
He would say today, “Don’t praise me, but stand with me”
Mobilize and visualize seeing the prize
Your surprise will become a realize
A page from Former President Barack Obama, “Yes we can and Shall”
The shall being assurance

Continued efforts in endurance
Stand up for the fight
God has given you the might
Be inspired my Brothers and Sisters
Victory sounds like a long way
But that is ok
The mission is too come together as a multitude of voices
You got the agenda, and it is the blueprint to succeed
But let your movement in forward proceed
We will chant these very words, “Achieved at Last Achieved at Last
It will be a long time coming
But we must be consistence and not be resistant
We can achieve together
Stand Up and be associated
Victory will be our story
Our efforts will form appreciated

He has a tattoo that says on his huge arm, ‘BLOODTOOTH WARRIOR”
Now don’t take that tattoo saying lightly
You mess with Johnny *******, and your flesh will be dropping blood
It will be an uncontrollable flood

Tough and muscular, it doesn’t matter if you like him or not

You were the man of reason and saw vision being no joke
You woke up the world with thundering words, “REBEL, STAND AND BE READY”
Stay the course, but hold steady

Being a **** for a day being real
It was an experiment I wanted to try
I see puzzled faces with the reason why?
I was on vacation and touring the Frisco city with tour group, and I asked about the area the tour company wanted to avoid, the escort said to me don’t go up into upper Market Street
Now for me, I know that wasn’t a San Francisco treat
I asked the Escort in what was wrong with the area
The Escort spoke without hesitate, “Motorcycle Gangs”
I wanted to venture up
I wore a Bandana around my head with ripped up jeans, and clothes beyond my nature
I was going to become my own scene
So I became a ****
But at least no dared to mug
Once I arrived, I was in a lonely alley
Suddenly, Motorcycle gangs approached from everywhere
I started acting tough and becoming a diehard ****
I called their bluff
I was told I didn’t belong
I didn’t have to rubble, but I did get along
So the **** in me with the Motorcycle Gang I did see
I saw the big side
I did not run and try to hide
I let my instinct provide
Later, I went back to myself in abide
So San Francisco was my grain of salt and stride

An Old Man was my inspiration
The Old man being my Grandfather
The reason why I bring him up, because his legacy became me being an Achiever
It was those four hours in typing lessons
It was for future business preparations
But this was when I was 15
My Grandfather had me pick a word from the dictionary, and incorporate sophisticated words into my vocabulary
No way do I want to sound contrary
But my training went beyond that
My Grandfather also prepared me for what it would be like in College
He gave me lecture styles the way Professors do
But my Grandfather was trying to built up my intellect and self-esteem
My Grandfather was determined for me in not working hard in life the way he did
Yet my Grandfather wasn’t finished with me yet, he had me train and practice playing the *****, and later had me professionally instructed by two people, Female Opera Singer and Professional Concert Pianist
Let’s say, music to my own ears
So that was my past learning lessons being my personal confessions

You are no longer around
But I keep your legacy in me making the sound

Who says Civil Rights is an easy battle?
Ask Congressmen John Lewis and C.T. Vivian they jumped immediately into the saddle
Their thoughts would be, “Redemption, Achieve, Believe and Victory”
This is what the two Civil Rights Moguls were challenged

Bringing all races together as one

Civil Rights won’t be done until all feet are on solid ground
Lift every voice and be heard
Utter Civil Rights can no longer continue to be a plight

Civil Rights was a responsibility and should be sustained by all

It would be Police in opposition

It was extension of determined exercised rights

There are two Heaven Harlow’s being Heaven’s call
They conquered and saw
Now it is time for us to continue on the road to Civil Rights
Congressmen Lewis and Rev Vivian are our determination
We will be their representation
Lift every voice and join hands
Let us march together in the sunrise until sundown
Embrace in commitment
Visualize in achievement
Dignity and honor from legacy
Muster from struggle’s past to victories to be gained
Upward and onward
2020, we are the new voices
Lift every voice and chant, “Civil Rights the purpose, and Freedom becoming the enterprise”
March on my Sons and Daughters
Civil Rights won’t be won until Freedom and Liberty reign.

Negativity is nothing more than lack of assurance and doubt
This is what this lesson in helping you to work out
It means take negativity and build into positivity
Think on Negativity being only a set back in how one feels
Usually, Negativity comes from Negativity given
It surrounds people that project Negativity because of circumstances that happened in one’s life
They are the one’s that always sees negativity, but never work in seeing life as positivity
You must look beyond your depressed thoughts, and suggest positivity
That negativity causes people to not succeed
Negativity becomes like a forbidden flood needing to reseed
A person is focusing on someone else’s feed
But negativity has no place face to face
In fact, it’s all a waste
The energy that one stresses on negativity, could be utilized on constructive positivity
Negativity is a barrier like a detour, but you are only staying in one place
No movement in a hopeful pace
If you say today, the response would be tomorrow
But what one is saying, they are drowning on sorrow
Negativity is mental, but one must move into motivational
Motivational is the action that will start you on your way
Negative people now should be your getaway
This is your lesson for today
Go and achieve in every way
Live on every day

MY MACY’S EPILOGUE
preservationman Jul 2020
Living real life on Miracle on 34th
It was that inspiration that carried me forth
Macy’s employees were like a family to me
It was after achieving 38 Years you see
I was laid off on June 25, 2020
Yet, I am proud in what I achieved
Laid-Offs are really nothing to talk about, but I am relieved
Two Top Former Executives were my Mentors
They helped me conquer and I saw
My experience within the Corporate Circle was a soar
Imagine, I am part of Macy’s history
I was a star on Broadway
My name within an enterprising name
Legacy being part of the Retail game
Associates and there are many, I will always remember
Laughter still ever after
I worked in numerous departments
In guess you haven’t figured what RH stands for in Macy’s
It is Rowland Hussey Macy, a former Merchant ****** and who was from Nantucket, MA, Cape Cod
So Macy’s farewell
Your stories will always be my tell
An adventure a waits and will be swell

THE MYSTERIOUS BLUE CLOTH
preservationman Jul 2020
It involves a big church
A Church Pastor with a big question
It could very well be a suggestion
It was a strange mysterious blue cloth
At one of the ends, the Blue Cloth looked like it had been eaten by a Moth
It seemed this Blue Cloth was significant
It certainly didn’t look at all magnificent
The Blue Cloth was placed on an old wooden table
But even the table didn’t look stable
This is far from any fable
The Blue Cloth was symbolic, but a resistance of enable
Perhaps the Blue Cloth was some form of curse
Now it probably needs a reverse
A blessing that wouldn’t come
The idea of a Blue Cloth was a cover of none
A Church congregation felt the Blue Cloth had the Devil’s ways
They also illustrated they didn’t want no part, and didn’t them nor stay
The congregation totally went astray
The Pastor and Congregation all prayed at that moment, and they were determined the Devil’s Blue Cloth wasn’t going to keep them bound
Praises in the multitude one could hear the sounds
So the Blue Cloth stayed on far away on that wooden table
Because of the Heaven’s, the Pastor and Congregation was able
The Heavenly Spirit said, “This is your getaway, and leave that Blue Cloth alone on this day”
So the Blue Cloth was never seen again
That Blue Cloth was an Evil friend
The Blue Cloth was burned up by Heaven

RISE TO INSPIRATION
preservationman Jul 2020
Displaced from a company doesn’t mean your life ends
It does mean take control of your life with a flair for being on the move again
Achievement and Accomplishment spells success
Now that is something everyone should be proud to digest
You proved learning and knowledge do work together
Some may have years, and others have less, but continue in perseverance and endurance
Who says one should be still?
You only pause for a moment
Let your mind explore move you into another opportunity
It could very well be in your community
Focus on what you have achieved
Plan a strategy in what your career goals you perceive
Emphasize your talent strength
Analyst at every length
Reach new heights and rise
Your life will enterprise with fulfilling inspiring surprise
This is not a time to focus on wonder
It is a time to look yonder
Displaced is not a fail

God has a plan
He will be your Counselor being at his command
So be inspired still
Show your courage at will
But this is my concluding bill from a Well Known Philosopher, Roy T. Bennett, “Make Improvement not excuses”
You are now encouraged
Now extend your steps in having courage
Good Luck to all of you in all your endeavors

The agenda in what crime might take place
It sounds more like substance taking up space
The chalk on the blackboard written with the plan
It’s just a matter of time
This is no time to be kind
Calculations with defined precision
The motto is the key in decision
The crime trail wrote out in black and white
The chalking tail of a safe and a bank being for the taking right
The mystery behind why the crime is being committed
The Villain’s names are being omitted
No need to tell
It’s all in a matter of time when the stroke of midnight strikes with the ringing of the bell
A crime that was supposed to start, but never did complete
Behind is all was no courage, but plenty of deceit
The crime that came with defeat
The Villains were caught before the crime was even done
Too bad all crimes don’t end like this being the headline of “Hit into Miss”
The Blackboard turning crime into a twist

Do you know why you were sent here?
You don’t understand
I am your King and bow down to me
You were sent too be tormented

I will instill my rage on you, and you will get a peek
You were summoned for my bidding
You are now my slave, and I am for your taking
I control all your thoughts
You and no one can defeat me
Look into eyes and see
Your heart is mine
Every beating moment is my blood within
You are breathless and motionless
Rise to me from your soul
You are now my threshold
I reign and rule the world
Watch as world revolves in swirl
Revolve Revolve Revolve
Worldwide destruction, which no one can solve
I have the power to control
Anguish beyond measure
Destroying the world would be my pleasure
You are at my command
As your king, this is my demand
You are no longer on secrete land

A see a guy staring looking perplexed
Posing with assurance
It was the muscles being trained filled with endurance
The Muscle man walked along the beach
His muscles illustrated fitness and let me teach
He had a body no women could ignore
But do women really want to explore?
He no sand hitting his face
His Muscles took up all the space
When at the Muscle Beach Pit, he lifted the weights with intensity up and down
He was pumped but not bound
Built with detail
But what would happen his muscles did fail?
The Muscle Man thought he had a body that wouldn’t quit
But had to have clothes altered for his muscle fit
So Muscle Man keep thinking muscles are it
Hold up to your enthusiasm a bit
Carry yourself with wit
Muscles are not what make the person, as it is character

I WAS TOLD OTHERWISE

Your reasoning left me confused
In some way, I felt used
You seemed to use words for impression like a lesson
But your body movement gestures say you were uncertain
The truth needed to be pulled out like a forbidden curtain
Your angry voice was roaring like thunder
You wanted me to be frightened and duck for cover
My mind tells me you truly understand
All you do is demand after demand
I am not at your command
But you don’t know who you really are?
It’s not a ride in a car
It’s life’s wonders that take you far
You say you know
But I don’t think so
The reality is you really don’t care
You put me in beware
I will definitely let you go
You have been told being in the know
Your lies are no longer sustained anymore
I am a ship, and you are the shore
You are the disembark, and I have drifted away in the open seas of my own destiny
I am going distance far
You are no longer my otherwise
Just stand there looking surprised

WRITER VERSES POET FEUD

The Writer said
It was what the Poet did
The Writer and Poet both have a commitment and responsibility
Write what you think, and how you feel
A sense of purpose from conceal
The Writer’s theory of words with them being an anecdote
Then on the Poet’s point of view in words that are spoke
The Poet’s scene having a rhythm with a connection of emotional words
Well this feud had been going on far too long, but enough was enough
But one would wonder if the Writer and Poet really being together
They both seem to outclass each other
Now they are feuding on whose right, and the other whose wrong
However. When it comes to words and sentences, the Writer and Poet
Both need to get along
The idea is collaboration
For the reader, it is appreciation
The hidden Moon into a foggy night, but disturbances into unrest with eerie sounds in the distance could be heard in the darkness of night. Life not knowing tomorrow with an uncertainty woe
Now that would be the impact of both in coordination of the Writer and Poet.
Now you know it
So this feud came to an agreeable end
Now everyone can be free and write again
It’s a sleepless night, and write I shall because a Writer and Poet can

Yet, it was bank robbing to do
But the question remains, did these Villains think the Bank Heist through?
It seemed there were a lot of mistakes
They were robbing a bank for goodness sake
Their lives are at stake
One of the Villains set off the bank alarm
While the other Villain just couldn’t stay calm
Truth in not using their common sense with a mind
Perhaps even sounding sublime
The idea was to rob the bank without being detected
But the camera caught up and close personal being suspected
Inspector Poet was on the scene
He wrote and spoke, you Villains need to come clean
Inspector Poet also wrote, how stupid to get caught
The Police immediately arrived, and the Villains were taken to jail followed by Court
The Villains didn’t even fight
There were five police cars and back up was with might
Time doesn’t offer respect, but can have an outright effect
These Villains had no idea in what to expect
But Inspector Poet called this story one of his rejects

It was the biblical scripture of Genesis that gave the Earth its birth
Being a star you were meant to be as a sky twinkle

You were involved in the dance crave known as the “Twist”
Romance was in the air, a day your first Girlfriend or Boyfriend gave you your first kiss
But that kiss came to this
You both became a married couple
Your time machine captured all that, and it was the moment with an opportunity to reflect back
