Now let me say
Today is the day
It involves a big company and Global
Yet as an employee I am suppose to be noble
I will have no pay the whole month of April
In fact, it could last for months
Everything will be happening all at once
Thank God I am prepared
However, the whole idea makes me mad
But I am blessed so I am glad
I am furloughed and don’t know how long
I feel I am in society where I don’t belong
I applied for unemployment
But there is a waiting period of six weeks
I feel I am surrounded by defeat
At least for now, I have my soul to keep and can eat
But I keep reminding myself I am alone and must stand on my own two feet
Responsibility is who I am
It’s a mission in knowing I can

Not a magic carpet flying in varying directions
But it is a journey well taken
Distance far
It doesn’t involve using a car
It’s the inner thought
Words that just come to mind
At times it might seem sublime
But it’s the Poet being one of a kind
No one can tell a story unless one truly has one
It doesn’t mean end before it is done
Poet establishes until complete in being among
Yet the Poet’s flavor is about fun
After all, they are next to none
Travel in the in the mind can be anywhere
Experiences to share beyond compare
Emotion from the heart
But that is only one start
A Poet is always on the move
It’s the words within the sentences to prove
It’s the comfort being the soothe
The feeling of on the beach
It’s the shore meeting the Poet in reach
The ocean extending wisdom in teach
So this is the Poet’s Whole New World
This is what turns the heart into swirl
Journey on into the possibilities
A Poet is the one that creates realities

I the Lord suffered on the cross
Yet you don’t acknowledge me being the force
I am the one that sets the course
You won’t even give me praise
I have shown my powers in amaze
Yet no praise
I control the Moon, Sun and Stars
It’s the entire environment including Mars
In fact, the entire world is in my hands
I am the Lord and Savior in demand
My spirit and names spreads throughout the land
I can heal this land, but you won’t pray
But it should be done everyday
A heartfelt prayer is the way
Deceit, Greed, Hatred and many others cannot stay
I am the Lord that shed my blood
My tears were like a flowing flood
I wanted the world in sin to have life
I am the encouragement offering the best advice
Salvation is nothing to think twice
It is the comfort of blessings like sugar and spice
I am the Lord merciful being nice
Yet my anger prevails
Pray world pray
I will soon return
There will be fire
Burning like from an urn
Watch for my coming signs and be ready
To all my worshipping Warriors continue to hold steady
The Devil wants to destroy and treat you like an unwanted toy
That is the Devil’s ploy
I am the only one that can establish full joy
Salvation will give more oh boy
It’s not a competition between Me and the Devil
It’s a choice the world must make
Do it before time wines up being too late
Praise and shout
The Lord will work everything out
I suffered and was tormented
I am the Lord being well represented

Basic
Classic
Authentic
Artistic
Dramatic
Realistic
Scientific
Terrific
All in front of the public

A man with a spirit and a heart for Christ
Rise Up
Heaven has opened the Pearly Gates
I got a Heaven invitation and I must not be late
Dr. Lowery was under God’s accord and he was being obedient
He was committed to God’s word and whom he was about
It was his praise with a loud shout
That shout was extended into Civil Rights
Wrong that was a plight
Determined and full of fire
This was Rev. Dr. Lowery in not to tire
This was his honor, dignity and pride throughout the Civil Rights Movement
Go and I will follow
Along with those words were, “I shall not be moved, but be inspired by God
Years of torment in the fight for freedom
But it was God’s wisdom every step of the way
Freedom came
But Jesus was the answer
Rev. Dr. Lowery has stories upon stories of his involvement in making change
Through his commitment things began to rearrange
His teachings and preaching’s was salvation to sell
That was definitely Rev. Dr. Lowery show and tell
A man is not complete until he is whole
That philosophy became Dr. Lowery Heaven Threshold
Journey on my Sisters and Brothers
Civil Rights was my movement in the sunrise
But it was truly Christ’s energize that made everything possible
Yet today we must continue to band together and remind the world that the multitudes are the power
Heaven called and that was Rev. Dr. Lowery’s hour
His tomorrow was yesterday, and his robe was put on
March on my children as there is still much work to do
It’s Civil Rights and more important, salvation
Pray until you can’t pray anymore
Faith is the key and the assurance
Christ our Lord being the influence
The clouds have departed and his soul has been lifted up
If Rev. Dr. Lowery had a theme sermon, “Rise Up as Faith is your Deliverance”
But through it all
Rev. Dr. Lowery conquered and saw
Let his footsteps of wisdom being our victory of tomorrow.

Coronavirus that took control
It involves the world as a whole
People are catching it in large numbers one by one
I wonder if this coronavirus will ever get done
For the lives of people, this isn’t fun
In fact, many have died and will continue to die not being among
A little history, the coronavirus has been around since 1965
That’s real being no jive
Through this crisis and all, it’s a time to pray
Be consistent in every way
It may seem like a strong sting
It’s Faith that stands being the thing
Social Distancing and not be close
The only way this coronavirus is going to disappear
We must stay home and not come near
Be safe and well
Only time will tell

Moon lit skies
A night that will energize
But there will also be a surprise
There is no otherwise
Blood thirsty creatures will roam the Earth
This was no experiment created of a new Birth
The search for flesh
A time where Humans will be eaten with nothing left
No one is safe
It doesn’t matter if doors are locked
Creatures are able to crash through
There is nothing no Human can do
If you run, you won’t get far
You have no time to even jump into a car
This is not a wish come true
It’s your senses you must see through
Be very aware and alert
There is no perk
Survive if you can
It’s a matter for as long and when
Stay inside with the lights out
Don’t even scream nor shout
It’s the night I am talking about
There is no way out
The creatures are upon and destroy all about
Pray or be the prey
Your sunrise if you are still alive will be another day
Illustrate cope while you seek hope

As Kenny Roger’s song says, “Buy me a Rose”
A voice that is serene
Kenny Roger’s music goes far more than country
He also did spiritual gospel
Whenever you listened to any Kenny Rogers songs, there was a certain encouragement in inspiration within the words
Think on any Kenny Rogers and you will feel when you were down, and suddenly his songs uplifted you
Truly Kenny Rogers, you will be remembered through your music and the dedication
We the fans offer our applause in appreciation
Your Soul touched Heaven
You were invited in
Your own everlasting can now begin
But we won’t say goodbye, but until we meet again
We are saddened, but your music will always keep us inspired
Any song being a word of advice, don’t quit but remain strong
This is how we all will get along
Your music was your giving
But it will long be your legacy of music talent that will keep us living
Thanks for sharing your mellow music
Melody in tempo being Heaven’s reign
Listen to Kenny Roger’s song in the distance of sound
You have been rewarded and it’s Heaven bound

Perhaps lost in space
Lost in time
Lost in appropriate words
A wonder if I am need to be heard
My tolerance level feels like a herd
Separation being my apart
As a Poet that is my start
Mysterious into the obvious
A galaxy unknown
Sentences in dazzling lights
But stuck in a pitfall in plight
A spaceful thought
A battle between the Milky Way mind and words in fought
Solitude beyond
Apart from my heart and soul in connection
Revitalized like a resurrection
As a Poet, there is a behold
I managed to compose, but that is a suppose

Where is your Faith through it all?
Does your heart truly believe?
The thought of the CORONAVIRUS is where people should apply Faith
It must be strong at every length
It’s a matter of kneel and pray
Connect with salvation at every step of the way
People feel and want no gather
Jesus controls and that is what matters
Jesus has been trying and now has the world’s attention
This is a time to pray
Jesus is soon to come
Will the world be ready?
Coronavirus is a wake-up call world
Don’t forget being a reminder from the Lord to pray
No matter what the illness, Jesus is the one to call
He is the one that can conquer all
Lead not to one’s own understanding
But believe in Faith what God can sustain
Believing is proven
Faith is no illusion
It’s even goes to the end even at one’s eternal conclusion

I am ready to get on the cycle and ride
Feeling the highway breeze coming from the air in provide
Being tough with no disturb
But there are road laws including the curb
Cars, Buses and trucks, take notice
Observe cyclist style
Yes, watch me move on the highway while
I have a date with my own destiny
My arrival will be eventually
I am moving with grace
One would think I am in a race
The sleek motorcycle chassis
So this trucker wants to be sassy
I will show this trucker who this Motorcycle rider can do
The trucker deserves my highway skill test
If he fails, I could care less
My maneuver being savvy
Let’s see if this trucker has a load he can carry
The techniques I can do
The trucker simply can’t follow through
So I am dashing off into the afternoon sun
Being destination bound and looking to have fun
Sunset, my day will be done

Sacrifice

Life

A person that could be anybody
A name being unimportant
It was a human born
A yond in wake-up
A baby unknown to the outside world
New on Earth in a world swirl
Yet the baby is now an adult
Never became a celebrity star
But a baby that attempted to walk, and achieved far
So Mr. Nobody became somebody
A human in the right
Being an adult in plain sight]
Having no name to some might be a plight
But this grown-up adult didn’t take it light
You could call this adult an Achiever and Believer
Having no parents to guide
It was a young man sustaining understanding in reside
The elements of life being the teachings
The spiritual church the preaching’s
A Mr. Nobody in social circles
It was the success in becoming a Motivator
So Mr. Nobody can be called “Sir”
It’s the all out inspiration that he wants to stir

Distinction
Appreciation
Darkness into light
Decay with a revise
Deep Drama having a surprise
Echoes into deep thoughts
The when with an after
Blood flowing through the flesh
How much time living do I have left?
My life and a knife with my mind that controls
I can no longer take whole
My freedom has become bold
My years as I am now old
Yet my understanding being of engaging wisdom
What I thought is not what I believe
Resentment being my deceive
I hear trumpets with a mellowing tone
The Death Angel is letting it be known
Darkness has approached
Put on my White Robe
I have been called
The Perling Gates have opened
Loss in deep sleep
My soul not mine to keep
I have risen
A world I shall not return
My final eternity

Yes I am alive
Flower me while I can smell
Give me my flowers with fragrances of love
Let me enjoy the blossoms of the vintage
To be alive is a privilege
Flower me

This is about encouraging an Ex-Con
It doesn’t mean make them feel like they are a no body
The Ex-Con is human just like you and me
We have done things in our lives that were wrong, but managed to make it right
No one is born to go to jail
No one should be considered in making a mistake being a fail
Fulfill inspiration within the heart
Give hope with cope
Provide sound analysis like a scope
Emphasize the goodness and not the bad in what the Ex-Con had committed
Don’t give the Ex-Con false hopes, but be honest in helping them achieve

I was travelling on a Greyhound Bus from Tampa, Florida to New York City being a vacation in Tampa
As we began to pull out from the Departure Gate, we were stopped by two Correction Officers releasing an Inmate
He boarded our bus where he was getting off in Orlando, Florida
He sat next to me being the only seat available, and the inmate stated he was an Ex-Con and hoped I didn’t mine him seating next to me
I told him not a problem, and he had already served his time, and I also told him, he didn’t need a reminder, but I was going to be inspiration
I did state, I hope you learned from your mistake

The two hours he was on a journey, it was the time I did my best to encourage the young man
He expressed and explained the situation of why he went to jail
I listened as if I was his Dad
But he was a very educated young lad
I saw promise
Yes I am being honest
The young lad showed me his Resume
He had accomplished a lot and had College before prison
I strongly recommended that he stay away from his Cousin who was the reason he went to jail
The young lad was definitely going back home immediately to Cleveland, Ohio
The Ex-Con explained how Florida jails were harsh on Inmates
So the idea of an Ex-Con is promise, but not all will be honest nor make an effort
But the Ex-Con young lad showed me he wanted to make good
I didn’t have a doubt in his could
However, I did emphasize it wouldn’t be easy, but stay focused and be determined
Present yourself in any interview with direct presentation of yourself being who you are and not what prison made you
That was my advice to the Ex-Con.

Walking in darkness
Having no idea of sense of direction
But where there is walking, it extends into rest
I will rest among the trees and wildlife
I am gathering my thoughts
Suddenly, Heavy rain began to pour
I observed the birds showing fear as they soar
I actually slept throughout the night
It was good to see the rising morning Sun in sight
A day to be determined
Yet walk and feel confident in the wilderness
I will be the miracle of my own witness
A voice is saying to me, “Walk on with Courage”
But the ironic I am not really alone
Life doesn’t always have to be a situation
It can sometimes be the beauty within appreciation
But don’t strive on pity and condemnation
I had said I am alone
But I am truly guided in not feeling alone
I am walking with dignity and pride
I am walking in strength with my legs being my only ride
The wilderness might be wide open
I don’t ever have to feel along
It’s guidance from Heaven is what was actually shown.

Love in both our eyes
Oh the arrow is what makes our love like an enterprise
Kisses on the lips
Arousing being the tips
Love hearts
Love on track
Together as one
Our love is still among
Heart to heart
Happy Valentine’s Day giving you the head start

The man, Eubie Blake
Jazz Pianist and Composer filling the slate
Music having its own blend
Gifted talent because my Uncle Eubie can
Eubie Blake being my Great Uncle
Have listened to him play those ivory cords
Oh my Lord
Uncle Eubie played Jazz with direction in mine
The direction was rhythm in Jazz emotion
It didn’t matter if it was waters deep like an ocean
The Charleston blend being a thought in a notion
Step up but step back
My Uncle Eubie could play with the golden fingers
Every note being a creation
The rhythm is the formation
My Great Uncle is in the Smithsonian African Museum and Culture in Washington, DC
He was once a student at New York University
My Great Uncle’s Parent were once slaves and perished over the years
But Uncle Eubie was inspired in his own right to preserver
He was from Baltimore, Maryland
It’s music note after note as my Great Uncle made that music simply float
Uncle Eubie’s dignity met honor
The ivory keys of the piano that I will never forget
In fact, the piano keys and I have met
I was taught professionally on the Piano by two musicians, a Female Opera Singer and a Male Concert Pianist
But before that, I was concentrating on the *****
My Uncle Eubie was the influence and inspiration
It doesn’t matter what music as it is about culture and appreciation
Play that again Uncle Eubie
Legacy being the remembrance all the way

Robert Conrad best known role in the TV series called, “WILD WILD WEST”
He was a Secret Service Agent
He would often be confronted with villain attacks
But Robert Conrad wasn’t one to step back
However, he had so many stunts, it’s even hard to keep track
Heaven said, Robert Conrad, your time is now
He didn’t step aside
But Lord I will abide
Obedience on every accord
Robert Conrad being a true achiever in stunts ability
He would often do his own stunts
Robert Conrad showed the TV fans just who the performer portrayed in Jim West was about
It was what the West in what came out
The Sunset came quick
The Wild Wild West Star is what will stick
The sunrise will continue to shine
But the name Robert Conrad is what the world will keep in mine
Heaven being Robert Conrad’s outlook
Everlasting fulfilled
Rest in peace in God’s will.

The woodman’s ax
The X marks the spot
Wood chopping being a regular chore
A Wooden Log cabin built from grace into galore
It was nestled well in the deep forest away from any close by dwellers
The Old Man alone accomplished this
Thus
It was always the Old Man’s dream
You would find the Old Man many times fishing at a stream
His catch would seem like a movie a flick
The Old Man’s fish catching in drawer dropping thick
Now the Old Man wasn’t rich, but really poor
He had gained knowledge having full of wisdom
Freedom on his mind to explore in a world unknown
The same Old Man from his youth with ambitions that continued beyond
It was precision with time
A fireplace and a rocking chair where the old man would often seat
The old man was his own narrator
He would talk aloud as his he had an audience, but it was always the furniture that was there, but no response from listening
The Old Man would reflect on where his life all started and the age of longevity
A Wooden Log Cabin with an old Man’s name on it
But tragedy struck one day, the log cabin was hit by a bolt of lightning
The Log Cabin burned up in flames being total destroyed
But the old man had died prior, but lived a good life
A Statue was dedicated in honor of everlasting in memory of the Old Man
A man with strength in character and devoted determination
Below the Old Man’s statue read, “The Old Man who saw a vision and built a foundation of a Wooden Log Cabin being of solid precision and a heart of gold”.

While I was on vacation in 1983 in Los Angeles, California
I decided to explore the sights
The thought of a haunted ship, I had to shed some light
So I took a self guided Tour of the Queen Mary
According to the Media, the ship was supposed to be scary
I ventured to different parts of the ship, and I personally didn’t feel anything nor see anything out of the ordinary
Imagine how the Guest feel staying at the Queen Mary Hotel thinking haunted
That would make some people to faint
The ship is no longer voyage active
It is a still ship being part of a solid pier
No spirits came out and told me to get off
For me, it would have been anchors away
The Queen Mary certainly wasn’t the Titanic
In fact while aboard, I didn’t feel the need to panic
I didn’t need to call Ghost Busters
I didn’t shout spirits come out
There were sounds of cracks
But remember, the ship is old and it must settle from time to time
As the narration continues, please keep that in mine
But back to the Media being their style
Sounds intriguing during while
The ship having its own Queen
No other majestic in between
The name added Mary
The actual name being Queen Mary
At least the ship doesn’t lean
There are no spirits that act mean
So there is nothing really to report
Nothing at all in sort
But what was that and the sound?

A past in time
Keep that in mine
Imagine literally being ****** into a book and becoming part of the pages
It all happens into one book
All one has to do open the book and take a look
It was a Detective story
It was intriguing in fun with all its glory
Yet pages upon pages a story for all ages
It was the likes of **** Tracy and all kinds of gangsters you would name that you probably read in comic books
But instead of reading about it, the reader is confronted within the pages of dialog in reality
Guns are being fired
**** Tracy is called on the scene
You are up close and personal with **** Tracy investigating
The idea is too show justice in making these Gangsters come clean
The reader is all part of the action
You see clues that are little or an inch of faction
It’s like a movie scene inside the Detective book
The thought of guns and bullets would make anyone feel shook
Again, it is all happening inside the book
The Reader finds themselves surrounded in the 1850’s in how fighting crime or being part of a crime was a way of survival in live or die
Minutes having no estimate
**** Tracy’s mission in getting these Gangster’s to serve time won’t be easy
It certainly isn’t cheesy
But there is a break in crime
Don’t give me any nickel nor dime
The reader’s become the witnesses
But it is best to say, ‘PRIME TARGETS’
**** Tracy and the Gangster’s all have guns
The reader has no weapons and is lucky to still be alive among
But **** Tracy has everything under control
These Gangsters are acting on bold
So what you have read before about Gangster’s has given you up close and personal truth in allowances
It was hard to believe in your youth
But that is the truth
All it took was being ****** into a Detective book
Being selective and reflective being all it took
You are **** Tracy’s wonder
Your journey was far into yonder
You are now out of the book
You now think and feel shook
Don’t open another book

A Four Days Journey ride
Just sit back and take in the scenery in stride
It was that Hound bus and me
America countryside I would definitely see
My destination cross country was more than once
It was New York City to Los Angeles twice, San Francisco and San Diego, California
I saw major cities and towns that I read about in my school days
But this is an adventure having a Hotel stay
Witnessed the Rocky Mountains, the Mormon Tabernacle Church in Salt Lake City, Utah, Las Vegas, Reno and much much more and all from the Hound bus seat
That Greyhound bus brought America alive being a treat
It was the town people in their wave
When it got hot it was find a shade
No matter what, destination westward ** bound
Rolling highway wheels hearing the sound
But to my surprise I felt totally energized
I observed a Navajo Indian sitting on a White Horse with red and white feathers overlooking the Arizona highway overpass
He waved to us
A wave back was a must
Everyone on the bus was like a family, and had occupations varying of their own
For starters, a California School Teacher, Book Author and a Professional Mountain Climber
As for me, being a Greyhound bus observer and good listener
Intrigue and the unexpected came about
It was like something from the Twilight Zone
But if I hadn’t seen it myself wouldn’t have believed nor known
The Hound bus stopped in a strange Arizona town where there were no people totally deserted
It was like we had entered a Ghost town
It was 6:00 am and the sun was starting to come up
But it was the eerie wind that truly woke us up
It was a new day, but for who?
The tumbleweed were flying and the wind was blowing shatters against the abandoned houses
One passenger did get on being Spanish
The hound bus started on
We the passengers were now awake from our yond
It was that mysterious passenger to look upon
But no matter what, we were Los Angeles bound
So on the road again
Later, the highway sign said, “WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA”
Within a few more hours, we arrived finally into Downtown Los Angeles Greyhound Terminal
It was a journey well spent
It was according to what Heaven sent
I spent 7 days and took the Hound bus back
I remember people and places in my mind and kept track
Didn’t need any Diary as my mind was my data bank
I have Greyhound to thank
This 62 Year Old is writing this
Every detail had no miss
My thus being a must, and the Hound bus trip was an added plus.

Determination, Drive, Possibilities and Desire
Being thirsty for success
Enhancing skills to be their absolute best
Feeling confident in knowing you can achieve
Why just read a book when you can actually write one
Why talk to one when you can motivate to multitudes
But you might want to add include
Better you to inspire all
Inspiration total outward call
Prepare being one’s desire
Feeling like a coach and functioning as an empire
Determination direct deep down like a hot fire
Open up to opportunities
Yet create your own opportunities
Seek and you can create
Overshadow people that are negative that want to hold you back
The principle is certainly a known fact
Prove to yourself that you are hungry for your own being
Cents do turn into dollars
Dollars can eventually become millions
Sense becomes common sense
Think of one word that will be your theme for success
Mine is “EXCEL”
Journey into the possibilities
Endless until satisfied
You control your life in everything that you do
The key is to pursue
But have a positive way of thinking
Efficiency is organizing
The Presenter being the Platform Speaker
Tomorrow’s success starts today in the present
Always be tuned in but never let anyone tune you out
Excel is what I am talking about.

Is it a gun or a knife?
What do the clues spell in advice?
A party full of guest
Invitations sent out as a request
When the guest arrived, and everyone sat down
Suddenly, darkness filled the room
Quick screams were the sound
The lights immediately came back on
But a ****** had just been committed
A knife was found in the back of Jay Henderson
Now Jay Henderson was of wealth
But there was a question concerning his health
Mr. Henderson had a bad heart
Yet he was murdered, and does anyone have any idea of the motive?
We seem have a sleuth
We have many speculations to go through
We need to determine the theory behind this
Now Mr. Henderson had fortune, but do to his health, he had made out a will
Still?
Why was Mr. Henderson’s business partner not included in the will?
Mr. Henderson knew his partner had stole from the business
He was killed, but it didn’t change the name of who was on the will
The business partner surely didn’t think
The will was already certified and signed in ink
The partner is going to jail with a life of no mail.

I felt weak and sick
Any illness, take your pick
It was that moment in prayer
The sickness suddenly cleared into thin air
I was healed in Jesus name

In order to write, one must have a reason
It doesn’t matter what season
It’s not being forced to write being a treason
It’s the assurance in presenting and knowing it
The Poet sets the standards of sentences and words
An aura of appreciation and expectation established
But it is all the creation with illustration
The organization in how the writing came about
Nothing to work out
Emotion in what the Poet feels
At times in can be an experience that the Poet felt for real
The Poet shows their writing has arrived
It was the mind opening up to words the Poet derived
It’s the Poet instilling, “Even Now”
The whole Poet experience
It was all being the inner being within influence
The issuance of that’s all Folks

Educate further in a world of tomorrow
Feeling inspired and less on sorrow
Negativity people will have no place
They take up too much space
Positivity will be the enforced trace
An educated tongue with motivational words spoken
No time to settle, but improve on every bound
2020 will be the inspiration sound
It doesn’t matter who it comes from
Yet make abundant in sum
At least that is my aim in attempt
I want to improve myself
I can’t speak for everybody else
Faith I want to draw close
Biblical being the most
A fresh start being a new beginning
My purpose to land on opportunity runway
Being direct and fulfilling destination
But 2020 being relaxed embracing serenity
So for you, make 2020 your year
Make it the year for you to preserver.

The Greyhound name that got around
Across the country are terminals and small depots that are found
But the Greyhound name is still destination bound
Greyhound travelled roads when roads didn’t even exist
Oh that stretched Greyhound dog that no one can resist
The trademark known worldwide
The travelled miles
The varying paint schemes
State too state and town too town
Oh yes, that Greyhound continues to move around
Greyhound’s history full of achievements
Elements were always the test
But our Greyhound Driver training says it best
“DRIVE WITH PRIDE”
The customers will enjoy the ride
Greyhound is a company anywhere bound
Hear engine and watch on the highway in the Greyhound sound
Departure with an arrival
The vast of Greyhounds to just marvel
Greyhound has been doing for years
It all started with Anderson and Wickman rugged pioneers
If you want proof, look at Greyhound’s track record
It seemed Greyhound wouldn’t survive
Yet Greyhound weathered many storms
It was far from any norm
The Greyhound Bus Company continues being the highway journey
It’s name being worthy
So Greyhound continues to be on the move
The wheels are rolling and operation being everything to prove.

Ira Steinberg
A man who lived his life surrounded by buses
The Bus Company called COACH TOURS
The passion to once drive
A journey in the bus industry of survive
Mr. Steinberg was once the proud owner of Coach Tours
He blossomed like a refreshing inspiring rose
His bus enthusiasm was his own suppose
Our friendship became value
Mr. Steinberg once asked me about getting tickets to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
He asked me because I work at Macy’s Corporate New York, and because Mr. Steinberg was a man committed to bus company success, I couldn’t say No, and followed through on his request
My efforts was acknowledging the promise
It was a man I had respect who was honest
I will never forget the COACH TOURS BASEBALL CAP
For me, it’s the Ira Steinberg map
Each time I wear the cap, I feel inspiration through his spirit
It’s remember me when, but never forget until
I will never forget, and Coach Tours and Ira Steinberg always in my heart
Now you know, but don’t ever let go
Heaven captured the eternal moment
Mr. Steinberg welcomed the opportunity
Together as the raising sun we are connected in unity
God bless the Steinberg Family and remember, you are never alone
God is the Almighty and his encouragement will always be shown
Don’t cry for me as I am with thy
My legacy is established and that is the reason why
Continue to live and support each other
I will miss you Mr. Steinberg as you were like my Brother.

It was tomorrow it was and today that came
A distance organizing
Satisfice and realize
Truth and Dare
Preparing and working out emotions
It was sitting on a dock and observing the ocean
As the waves advanced
Only a true Poet knows opportunity being the chance
Words always come to the Poet’s mind
It’s like the sun and moon that intertwine
But it takes the sentences and words to make shine
A bottle of superior wine is elegance in what words suggest
Yet the word Poet is the writing crest
Heart and love for words leading to ability
The Poet comes from within and expels out
Pride and assurance
Enduring being a Poet’s endurance
It’s not what is in the Poet’s wallet, but the unique way in what’s on the Poet’s mind?
What are your words that need to come out?
Let me hear you even if it is a shout
It’s no surprise as the Poet is it’s own enterprise
A mission to write and words to conquer
Going where no one dared to try
Heavy emotions with a pour out cry
I am a Poet and this is why.

The holiday in full swing
Holiday dancing being the thing
Season’s Greetings full of joy
The baby Jesus born a boy
It’s the winter kick the feel
This makes Christmas come alive in the human reel
Oh the Jingle Bell tune
Meet me at our favorite spot being the old saloon
Santa might be there
Be ready to dance and don’t be square
Let’s turn the Holiday volume up
Here’s some Eggnog in your cup
Look at that, there’s Christmas even in that little pup
Let’s dance the night away
This is our own personal getaway
I offer a cup of cheer
Santa will definitely be here and have no fear
It’s the Holiday warmth that is near
Jingle bell rock, oh what a pair
Season’s Greetings to share

I started writing while tormented and fear
I didn’t know how I was going to preserver
I knew I couldn’t just give up
It was night after night with alcohol in my cup
Every thinking word seemed to capture my vision
When it came to writing that was for a reason
A voice kept saying, “Create then Illustrate”
This might be considered fate
I am sure everyone can relate
Yet an encouraging word shouted out, “It’s never too late”
I began to think and later wonder
My mind seemed to jump to a journey yonder
Suddenly, poetry came to life
Somehow the yonder was like given advice
I knew then I had a purpose in life
Destiny being the talent that was poured on me
It all made since
My words became past tense
Time moved on
I was writing beyond my own yond
But now a reflection to look back
Even now, I find it hard to even keep track
Poetry has captured my inspiring heart
Purpose being my name as a Poet
Inspired still with a determined will
It’s not some medicated pill
It’s being a Poet until
Until next time, I bid you all well.

It’s not a gamble nor dice
It’s a bus adding to the holiday being like sugar and spice
The bus being decked out in the season’s galore
It’s only a suggestion so please don’t ignore
The purpose is for everyone to take time in the holiday to explore
The idea is joy
Think on the bus being a delight s a toy
Dazzle with delight
The bus holiday assortment of color capturing everyone’s sight
Marvel as the bus being its own parade
You can shout hooray
The holiday has already started
But the purpose is to put everyone in the holiday mood
Close your eyes and think back on your childhood Christmases and tranquil into soothe
Now this is what I wanted to prove
The mission is to bring the joy out
It’s Season’s Greetings I am talking about
If you ever see that Holiday bus, remember you heard it here
Now I extend the Merry
Also with some cheer
Happy Holidays all started here.

Mine was around the time I met Ebenezer Scrooge and he talked money and I told him he had no cents
Now I am only kidding and I am far from being that old
Let me simply emphasize, “BEHOLD”
My past Christmas centers at 1100 PACIFIC STREET in a Two Family Brownstone nestled in Brooklyn, New York on the First Floor where we lived being my Grandparents and I was raised
Our Christmas preparation would be our Artificial Christmas Tree in dazzling color while the BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD and my FREIGHT TRAIN maneuvered at the same time running around the Christmas tree with the structured buildings on the full handmade layout of track including a TUNNEL
Oh those operating Engineer days take me back
Then there were tons of Christmas Cards that would be hung on the wall next to the Christmas tree
But the real preparation would be done the night before in the kitchen of baking and Turkey in early dawn the next morning
Mine you, my Grandmother did this all by herself, but I did help whenever my Grandmother asked
Now don’t let me talk about dessert
It was Homemade Layer Cakes and Sweet Potato Pies
Now that was the Christmas Holiday Feast
I remember all that at least
Cheat diet of the day and continue with a diet whenever
The Baked Ham with all the aroma flavors
It was something to just savor
The family being relatives from everywhere including friends
The joy of the Christmas holiday
Remembrance always being on my mind
The past I won’t forget
Missing family members being a regret
It didn’t get any better than that
Merry in feeling joy and Christmas to enjoy

Winter snow to have fun
The battle of the snowball fight in not being out done
In your face aim
If you get hit by surprise, you are the blame
If I caught you off guard what a shame
Now as I narrate don’t attempt to get your revenge
You hit me with a snowball and that’s not fair
I wasn’t ready
Now this is war, an operation hand shoot in an all out snowball fight
Let the snowball battle begin
This will be snowball challenge with no end
I am determined to win
My endurance assures me in not to give in
My strategy is up
Snowball making forming a ball
Are you up for the challenge?
Let the snowball fight transcend
May the best man or woman win.

Are you ready for a getaway?
Then step this way
We will be taking a journey through the open highway beyond your expectations
But the mission will be appreciation
So welcome aboard
Recline back and relax
This coach is specifically prepared for you
As for the destination unknown being anywhere
We don’t want to be square
Observe seeing the fallen snow
Let’s hope for no snowstorm as we don’t want to be stuck you know
Don’t be surprised if we run into Frosty as that would be a show
So as we continue to journey, observe the town people decorating and singing Carols to their hearts content
In these moments, time just went
But it was all Heaven sent
Watch the Deer’s as they pull all the sleighs
It’s merrily all the way
Look at that, all the Christmas trees flashing their Christmas assortment lights, and a big Happy Holidays shoots out from the star at the top as we pass by
Did you see what I saw?
It looked like Santa and the Reindeers, but you know what, it was actually that
Santa is flying low on the side of our bus and saying, “Good Cheers Mates and Happy Holidays”
Well look at this, snow is starting to fall again
What a way to start the holidays
Our holiday bus adventure has come to an end
Now the holiday season can officially begin
Enjoy your holidays with family and make it a treat
Happy rolling wheels and buses bring to life the holidays that’s unreal.

Your last Breath
A moment being too late
Take the opportunity to appreciate
We take for granted how perish life can be
Your eyes are open, but do you actually see
Now if you must question, you truly have no answer
It becomes a confession session

The Thanksgiving Feast
It will be a holiday at least
The Turkey shall be put into the Oven
It will be glazed in flavor, but won’t be toughen
However, there may not be a Turkey this year
Turkeys are in a protest mode, and have stolen Turkeys from every kitchen
Turkeys are determined in not being eaten
When did this all happen?
How were the Turkeys able to pull off this caper?
No one was manning the kitchens within the houses
The Turkeys have taken their protest to the streets
All households are at a stance of hold that they have loss
Even though they are the multitudes have no force
Well the battle is between the Knives and Forks with the Turkeys
Care of wager on who would win
But how would the Pilgrims and Indians handle this situation?
Simple, “After those Turkeys”
Perhaps that is the approach the households will have to take
After all, what other meat within any household would want to make?
We are talking tradition
All I can say is have those Knives and Forks ready and go get that Turkey
Turkeys run today, but there will be a turnaround in every way.

Do you know me?
I am the Achiever that no one recognizes
My thoughts expand like an enterprise
Yet it is the theories that make up my realize
I know who I am and about
In fact, I am the calmness needing no shout
Wisdom taught me through experience
Determination being the factor of my endurance
Many thought I was loss and didn’t have what it takes
But that was others assumption trying to pull up my stakes
One can if one tries
One reach if one thinks high
There’s no stopping me now
My sources are how
It’s an analyzed plan being now
My gift is my mind
I think on decisions and principles
It’s just that simple
A purpose
No one can take away
I am no runaway
Remember me on this day
Now, do you know me now?

What occurred?
Did you see what happened?
There were no witnesses around
The Murderer can’t be found
Yes, there was a ******
A young boy shot through the head
The murderer quickly fled the sight instead
There doesn’t seem to be a motive
Yet it was a driven desire
One shot by a gun in fire
Meaningless Death never understood
How can someone be heartless and act on could?
Poor young boy
He brought his Mother such joy
The young boy had a promising future
Now it is nothing more than a Funeral with an image picture
Occurrence after occurrence
Uncertainty with no assurance
Strength requiring endurance
Yes, a ****** occurred
But when will it all End?

Death knocked at the door
I chose to ignore
I said not
My soul simply said not yet
You can’t get
There’s much more living to do
An understanding thought through
Heaven put Death on hold
That’s a wonder of Faith of behold
So the Death Angel had to walk away
But one day
The Death Angel will come again
But that will be a thought of when
Everything now is ok
But Death will come a time
That moment shall be mine
However, I am now under grace
One day it will be Heaven face to face.

Vision in wonder
A brief pause in the reflection yonder

Dangling voices
The multitudes of whispers
Echoes far
The distance senses of the elevating breeze
The sweet voices of encouragement being like a fragrance while being at ease
The ear taking in all the echoes
A call to do and lend an ear
The message being clear to continue to preserver
The whispers being soft and pleasant
Over your heart to listen to what the echoes represent
It’s life’s movement present
Distance in bringing echoes close
Choices that need to be made
Where there is sun is also shade
Whispers in my head I keeping thinking about
All I want to do is complete shout
But the echoes and whispers is stay strong
You are being guided and know how to get along
It’s a matter of timing and availability
Unfortunately, it surrounds around reality
The whispers are only echoes to keep you updated in your life
But a true whispering voice is simply advice.
