THE UNTHEATRICAL SCRIPT
preservationman Nov 2019
Love was in the air
But throughout, a surprise preserver
My Female Friend is a Broadway New York Actress, and she asked me if I would help her with a script
But how fit
I used to do Theatrical in Pennsylvania
So I agreed, and we went over the script
It was reading the lines in words and sentences in theatrical ways
But the script seemed to offer romantic strays
It was full of detail
Now follow the trail
We both were getting into the script being dramatic
But our responses were systematic
Love was starting to take effect
The Script seems to set the mood
I felt there was something I had to prove
I became enthused
Suddenly our script reading together became more intense
Guess where I went?
Gave a kiss on my Female friends lips
Then got on one knee, and popped the question of, “Will you Marry Me?”
My Female friend said yes
But we were the only two Guest
But let me be straight up
This wasn’t a true story
I just wrote what was in my head all in its glory
So I was enchanted thinking love.

WHEN THE EARTH SHATTERED
preservationman Nov 2019
Warnings after Warnings
As Asteroid that was going to be a direct hit towards Earth
Where will the Asteroid land no one knows for sure
This is a Special TV News Bulletin, “An Asteroid disengages from the Solar System being Nonstop towards Earth”
Panic extends to the streets
Some people were shouting, “End of the World”
The people were running through the streets
But could their escape turn into a defeat?
No one knows where on Earth the Asteroid will land
It was a time to repent and pray
The Asteroid speedily heads Earth’s way
The world is holding its breath in tense moments in thinking will they survive?
A question with an uncertain possibility
Hours turned into minutes
Seconds being Earth’s contact
Suddenly the Earth explodes
The force being an astrological load
The Earth is shattered into non-existence
An Earth that had living creatures have long gone beyond
Souls given to the Heavens
Earth when gone now

Jerry, the GM PD-4106 bus is what I call
There was a period of stall
But wait, that’s not all
The GM PD-4106 bus of the past with possibilities
The bus was once the workhorse at Greyhound being reality
But because the PD-4106 was a bus of the 1960’s, it no longer had a function
The General Manager and Maintenance team had stuffed the bus way in the back in the bus company’s yard behind the garage where no one would notice
The Smith Brothers Bus Company had Heavy Charter traffic, and with all new updated features that the GM PD-4106 didn’t have from the past
So Jerry being had no use, but stay in the back and collect dust
The General Manager and Maintenance felt that was an absolute must
They thought there no fuss
How uncertain they were
But something happened for the good for GM PD-4106 that no one expected
A group needed to charter a vintage bus for a bus museum trip
Jerry was the only vintage bus on the lot
It wasn’t a plot
But I can tell you, the updated buses didn’t like that a lot
Jerry the GM PD-4106 was finally noticed
The updated buses started jealousy around the bus company place
Even the General Manager and couldn’t even erase
Jerry was the talk of the town
So vintage buses, man your stations
You are still the best from vintage back of all time creations
GM PD-4106 proved that
It is pure fact
So what happened to Jerry after the charter?
Jerry became a permanent bus to a proud owner in becoming a traveling motorhome.

YOU ARE EVIL

Stay away from me you are a curse
Everyone that seems to come in contact with you things seem to happen
You cause catastrophe
Occurrence with unbearable tolerance
One by One Death becomes an epidemic
You have been roaming this Earth and Evil Spirit is within you
Through you, the Evil Spirit wants to destroy the world and the people that dwell
The overflow of Soul’s
Even the Moon has turned red like blood
It runs the rivers like a flood
One’s ability becomes frozen
They become the Evil breed chosen
Roaming and searching
Victory into triumphant
Evil will prevail
But Death upon Death being the aftermath in the trail

You will be forced to **** me
But my Death could very well end your curse
Yet there won’t be any reverse
Let me die to save lives
I am Evil and must die

A GODMOTHER PROSE
preservationman Oct 2019
My Godmother being Emma Williams
A woman who died at 98
A God fearing Godmother to whom I truly appreciate
I still remember her even to this date
Mrs Emma Williams was more than a Godmother as I always called her Aunt Emma
My Godmother was a woman of true love
She was born in Barnwell, South Carolina having hospitality to think of
I remember going to her house, she would always cook me a meal
At one point, we lived in the same Brownstone in Brooklyn, New York
My Godmother lived on the Second Floor
We lived on the First Floor
What happy memories I have and remember
When my Godmother moved away to another location, I still visited her
I remember one afternoon she pulled a bag of laughs out, and all I could do was laugh uncontrollable
I also remember when my Grandmother died, and I called my Godmother for encouragement, I told my Godmother I wanted to cry
She stated, “Don’t you cry as you are never alone”. I felt inspired, and saw a world that I never known
Now my Grandmother and Godmother were good friends
But my Godmother is being remembered, and will never ever be forgotten
“My heart extends into Heaven, and my focus being on my Godmother. The joy you gave me here being on Earth. You enriched with my life full of goodness and blessings beyond. I will remember you now and forever more.

Quality of value
The Hour Glass being full
I am Heaven bound
Praises should be your sound

My expiration date became my time
The praises, blessings and redeemed were all mine
My Soul is glad
My praise reigns high
I will be residing with thy
The Earth I lived I am no more

Polar being real cold
Solar feeling the warmth of love
Engine Steam is seen pumping in the distance
The name comes up being the Polar Express
It has always been involved as the kids train
But that can still remain
But there is another side of the Polar Express
Get yourself comfortable, and have a cup of hot tea or wine if you prefer
It was a cold winter night when the snow was falling heavy and the winds that blew
A couple who wanted to spend their honeymoon in the North Pole
North Pole of all places
I guess the couple wanted to be the first one
After all, it has never been done
So it was leave the car at home, and hop on the Polar Express
The Polar Express Train 101 is scheduled to depart Awakenville at 10:00 pm
The couple names were Joseph and Mary
No relation to the biblical, but this couple was certainly the actual
So Mary and Joseph were finally aboard the Polar Express 101
The Conductor announced all aboard as there were other passengers that had boarded as well
The Steam Engine puffed its smoke and the wheels started to turn
The Polar Express was moving on schedule
The train was decked out in all Candy Cane
That is what all the passengers actually saw
As the train was cruising, the passengers marveled at the dazzling streaking colored sky lights
Mary and Joseph nestled together to keep warm since the Polar Express was a cold train and it was two hearts that remained
It would be an overnight ride arriving at the North Pole at 7:00 am
We the Polar Express did just that
There were so many events moving enroute, it is hard to keep track
In fact, a melody of love of a song,” Love in the air, my heart doesn’t compare”
But now that Mary and Joseph, they are ready to disembark from the train
Next destination being the North Pole Paradise Hotel
I guess you are wondering how did they get their?
They didn’t walk nor hail for a ride
It was a Big Pretty Horse Shield ride, and of course a Driver was provided
Arriving at their Hotel oasis, the Honeymoon can now begin
But it surely was cold at outside
So the couple sipped on wine while they dined
The honeymoon continued in the snow
No the warmth of love didn’t was sure not to go
It didn’t the melt the snow, but surely romantically set the scene
Mary and Joseph went into a never ending interlude you know
But that is the story all in its glory.

What happens when Bodybuilders retire from the sport?
No more lifting heavy weights
It was a sport any Bodybuilder did appreciate
The muscles will now become extinct
General fitness the key becoming unique
No more being muscle bound
Intensity will no longer be the sound
But a retired Bodybuilder will still be around in the background
Perhaps becoming a Personal Trainer in upcoming new bodybuilders
The chore of dieting for a contest no more
New Frontiers to explore for sure
But then again, perhaps pose one last time
A heart for the Bodybuilding sport still combined
A retired Bodybuilder you won’t find doing *******

A retired Bodybuilders waist will adjust in size
But will still be energized
Too some that might be a surprise
Talk to a retired Bodybuilder and you will realize
A retired Bodybuilder will still inspire throughout
Now that is what Bodybuilder is all about.

It was suicide he was going to try
Immediately, he stepped over the bridge edge in attempt to jump
Suddenly, pause
Let’s retract like a rewind video tape
Why should this Homeless Man pursue suicide?
He doesn’t have to stay Homeless
He shouldn’t feel priceless
He also shouldn’t feel useless and down in pitiless
Let us pray for the Homeless Man to the Father above
A Homeless Man is in despair
But you Heavenly Father are beyond compare

It was the start of blessings upon blessings that came

General Washington I would ask, the Troops are all cold from the winter winds
The Troops population is spreading thin
They are dying and Thirsty
This battle could be very long
I wonder if the Troops even belong
Diseases and struggles are taking their toll
The ammunition just won’t be together whole
I beg to you General, this might be a battle we just can’t win
This could very well be the Troops end
I cry to you in despair
The Troops are in the woods in the middle of nowhere
Darkness comes, and the snow blinds like hard ice
My advice General Washington is to think twice
Death surrounds at a moment’s notice
Can you and will you?
This is not a wish
The winds are in control
We have no threshold to take hold
We can only wait until winter passes
Let us pray and fast
The time is now
The skies into Heaven know
The thought of war being weep and sew
So General Washington being the leader of the Troops

It relates to the Hound Bus Operator turning into a preying Beast
The passengers would become the feast
The highway that was dark
The Moon formed a shade making its mark
Suddenly the Greyhound Bus Operator went through a transformation
The continued action provided more information
Immediately, the operator managed to pull the bus to aside of the road
But when the transformation was complete, it was going to a hunger treat
All the passengers echoed out in screams full of fear within that Greyhound Bus
The Greyhound Bus Operator was now a Werewolf stalking flesh
It became a night of passengers being tormented
But throughout the air, there was a certain presence of an unknown representation
The Greyhound Bus Operator Werewolf attacked one of the passengers severely
Another passenger would have been attacked, but the flashlight blinded the Werewolf, and he saw his way out to escape
The Hound Bus Operator Werewolf torn the bus in the middle, and headed for the fields being unnoticed in the night sky
Meanwhile, the travelling passengers being stuck on a lonely country road
But behold, there was a call to the Police and the Police investigated, and called the Greyhound Bus Company
A new bus and Driver was summoned to rescue the stranded passengers
A happy ending in deed for the most part
But could another Greyhound Bus Operator turn into a Werewolf beast?
Don’t recline and fall asleep

It was their hospitality
When this trip was formed being reality
It was vintage buses from the past
Seeing the historical buses was a blast
I also remember riding a Wolf Mini Bus
It was a journey back
It’s amazing I am remembering all that
It was Trailways buses still in their original Paint Scheme
It was almost like they were still in operating service
They looked like brand new
But that is what makes the whole story a slew
Just like a game of Chess, you can check me with having the fact
Stopping at key points of bus interest in Gettysburg, Hagerstown, Carlisle, York and Hershey
I saw a Buick being a bus
But that is how buses were formed being a plus
But the highlight of the journey was eating at a former Greyhound Bus Station in Hagerstown, Maryland turned into a town restaurant
However, I almost forgot the actual name, but it should have been called the “Depot Restaurant”
The Restaurant still had Greyhound’s original past and fixtures including the waiting area seats vintage
All I needed was an announcement of arrivals and departures
It was intriguing seeing a Depot Restaurant that once was a busy Greyhound Bus Depot with travelling passengers
So it was me and the highway road in unite
It was Greyhound’s past Depot in history in plain sight.

CAPTAIN EGO

Don’t let the name fool you
But let me school you
Captain Ego wasn’t a courageous man
For starters, he is afraid of water
As far as steering a ship
Captain Ego really needs an encouraging tip
But do it quick before the ship takes a dip
Captain Ego seems to have a chip on his shoulder in thinking he is all that
It goes beyond fact
But what he really needs is a rude awakening being a smack
Even the crew knew what Captain Ego was about
It seemed every commotion always turned into a bout
Captain Ego would order the crew being a command, but sounded more like a demand
If Captain Ego doesn’t get his act together, he could very well be fed to the sharks
Mark my word
Now I hope you heard
Yet Captain Ego’s name being a description that doesn’t seem to match
But put Captain Chicken now that would be a catch
He certainly isn’t truth
However, Captain Ego has been that way since his youth
But the seas seem to be in charge
That means, Captain Ego isn’t large
He doesn’t have any sea legs
For calm seas, Captain Ego always begs
The sea being awake and Captain Ego stuck in a yawn
He doesn’t deserve a ship to be steering upon.

Lives were loss
Destruction in multitudes

SOCK OF CONVICTION

A story told Sunday in Church
I see you are starting to munch
It was testified about a Funeral of a Christian Saint
No from what I heard the attendee didn’t faint
It was a large amount of guess
Again no, it wasn’t a request
All the Minister’s that were there were asked to take off their shoes
Now I wasn’t there, and I am only giving accord in what was told, and please don’t get confused
So all the Minister’s in attendance were now in their bare socks
The Ministers were majority being the flock
But there was a strange happening, the other Minister’s big toe popped out being large and in charge
It was quick thinking in putting the shoes back on
Apparently the yearn that wasn’t strong
The big toe and the sock just couldn’t get along
So a lesson here, check the socks thoroughly before you put them on
You may find yourself in a situation where you don’t belong
The sock’s maybe at their finish, and won’t make you distinguished.

I am a storm that no one is enthused

I will always remember seeing you on TV and the entertainment you did provide
Rest in peace now
The thought of you passing still has that WOW
But Heaven stands for now

PERILS OF SHIRLEY SMITH

As the Piano sets the scene in the background
You will have to imagine being the sound
Our Drama has begun
Shirley is sitting in the living room reading a Thriller book
In fact, it made her shook
Suddenly there was a knock at the door
At first Shirley thought, should I just ignore?
Shirley was so into the book, she wanted no interruptions
But then at that moment decided to answer the door
When Shirley opened the door, she was confronted face to face with a Tall Attractive Man dressed in all black including sporting a black cap
Suddenly without warning, the Tall man pulled out a knife
Shirley immediately screamed
She definitely needed help quick
Her Neighbors heard the commotion and summoned for the Police
Shirley was in a peril and thriller beyond any book
Just when the tall man was going to attack, the Police arrived in time and saved Shirley’s life
Mysterious and Curious being a thought
But a Thriller beyond any current book Shirley was reading
Death wasn’t written in the plan
This wasn’t even at the Tall Man’s command
A peril that became a resistance
The swift movement of the Police was an instance
So a peril today was actually a turnaround being the other way.

What is it about Houndtown?
Could it be a name associated with the Greyhound bus?
Perhaps there is a relationship to the racing Hound?
Assuming is not going to help
Research is what I felt
Let’s go deeper into the story and find out about Houndtown being anywhere in the USA
The town was formed in 1924 in the backwoods being nothing more than full of forest
Hunting was its biggest hobby
However, I firmly believe hunting went beyond hobby, and into food survival
I see your mouth is drooling
But don’t get too hungry
Remember the animals roam, but I will leave that alone
Some kinfolks from Houndtown say it relates to numerous breed hounds that would be in the area
No one really knows why various hounds would be in Houndtown, but my guess being the forest in the wide open spaces
Now that would be a trace
Maybe I should add that the racing Hound got Houndtown’s start
It went beyond becoming a town on a map
It could have been Houndtown written on my cap
Yet, the racing hound being fast on its feet
Victories with very little defeat
Houndtown being a small town portion
I wasn’t born there, so from me it is only a notion
Now some historians have stated that Houndtown discovered the Fountain of Youth
Don’t rush to Houndtown looking for the potion as that would be a miracle
I have to keep it real
That is how I deal
So from what I have heard Houndtown seemed to have a lot of promise
Now I had to be honest
Houndtown with a name nobody knows, but through narration now everyone knows.

THE LIFE OF BROADWAY

But for a moment, what if there wasn’t any Broadway
Imagine no music, audience and no Theaters
Hear the silence of no entertainment
But reality, the excitement of Broadway that is still here
It’s alive and kicking
Oops, I accidentally kicked someone in the ****
That is what you get when you are eager to perform
I read the book, “The Secret Life of the American Musical, How Broadway Shows are Built by Jack Viertel
Jack Viertel is the Senior Vice President of the Jujamcyn Theaters and operates Five Broadway Theaters
He has several Tony Awards for many productions on Broadway and New York’s City Center
Production is what brings Broadway to life

Yet before any show even thinks in coming to Broadway, there must be a planning stage at the beginning
The Process goes into Costumes, Props, Special Effects, Dance Numbers and Script Writing
The Costumes have to be fitted just right and shoes, Music fitting the Theme of what the Broadway play is about
The Props must compliment the stage with all the Spotlights and Color
There must be Dazzle and Razzle having appeal for the audience
Persuasion having an approach in publicity in promoting any Broadway show
There are sometimes Broadway show samples forming a presentation
I have been in some Broadway Style Musicals performing with Cast myself at the Radisson Valley Forge Hotel Convention and Entertainment Center
So I have some ideas in how Broadway shows come together

But I learned a lot about Broadway also from my Famous Great Uncle Eubie Blake who was a Pianist and Composer in Broadway Shows years gone
It was creation and perfection at its best
But in order to bring the Broadway show to full production, everything from the Script, Numerous Dress Rehearsals along with test special effects
You now have an idea of behind the scenes in how Broadway Shows are done
Broadway is ready
The stage and the curtain is ready to go up
Before I get ready to step out and perform
The Broadway experience is a thrill of a lifetime
It starts with the music and sometimes with humor
My heart is always destined expel my talent
But Broadway truly is having the sounds with applause after bound.

So you are hooked on phonetics
Introduce yourself to the keyboard and computer screen
Remember to keep your writing precise and lean
Have a dictionary beside you so know what words you want to use in how the words will fit in what you want to write, and knowing the words in the definition in what they mean
Now that the computer is ready
Then your thoughts being steady
The theory behind writing might be a composition
But then again, that would be your decision
Let’s write about what inspired you to write, and we can extend from there
But let me start with myself as an example
It was a sleepless night
There was tossing and turning
I turned on the lamp light
Words began to pop into head
This all happened while I was still in bed
Words and sentences that just came together
Sentences after sentences
References with more references
My mind began to take control
It was words and sentences that illustrated behold
I was very much surprised
But I began to realize
There was definitely writing in me
So I knew immediately at that moment, I had to pursue
Yet writing was never on my mind then
It was when telling me to start
I was totally connected and didn’t part
Writing is completing what you start
It then become right on
How’s that for your Writing 101?
Guess what, this lesson is complete and we are now done.

MUSIC TO MY EARS

Picture walking up Sixth Avenue in Midtown New York City on West 42nd Street
As I was walking, I began to hear singing echoing in the distance
I needed to get closer in hearing more in an instance
So I decided to walk up Fifth Avenue, and I was now on West 45th Street in 1978
The music got more distinct, but there was a Choir added to the singing, and it was “America The Beautiful”
How fitting for the occasion since it was ST. Patrick’s Cathedral Centennial
The music and choir singing was simply beautiful
I felt truly youthful
It was all coming from St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue and East 50th Street
But there was an added treat
Cardinal Terrence Cooke was standing on the Cathedral steps shaking hands with all people as they passed by including yours truly the writer
It was an experience I will never forget
Yet, I have only one regret
Cardinal Cooke is no longer around
But the remembrance I am keeping found
However, for right now let me settle down
Music to my ears in telling me not to have any fear
St. Patrick’s Cathedral is still near
I can still feel the music and choir in the air.

I didn’t know when
I wasn’t sure how
But I knew my tomorrow was coming
It turned out to be life being continuously
I breathing fresh air miraculous
Time is like a clock
Hours into minutes
A moment into a second
That is why life is so precious
That also describes my actual being my tomorrow
It arrived ahead of schedule
No it didn’t come like a pill like a module
But when I say tomorrow, people seem to think a distance off
That would be true in certain instances
But today, my tomorrow was my face off to continue to live
It is motivation for me
I know there are theories for me to see
There is guidance that will be every step of the way
Since I am at tomorrow, I am going to be thankful today
My tomorrow enhanced the sunshine being exceptionally bright
What could have been a shade of darkness became a blessing with walk into the light
Tomorrow came, and today is.

The dialog of Harry and Mary
As I tell the story, it is not merry
You see, Harry and Mary being a married couple
They have no hills in relationship to climb
The Bed Sheets spell nothing but deceit and cheat
But the way they both would cheat, one would think it was a competition in compete
Mary had a Man which was Harry’s best friend and who was Best Man at Harry and Mary’s wedding
Harry was dating one of Mary’s Female cousins
This sounds more for the Maury and Jerry Springer’s show
But I will let that go
So how did this all happen
It seems the *** wasn’t all that
There was so much arguing commotion is certainly hard to keep track
So the cheating between them both escalated with arrow piercing right through the heart
Love of Harry and Mary being like a sour lemon
They were Demons full of fire, but no relationship with desire
There is no word to the wise
The eyes seeing a cracked mirror
The image not being true in honesty
But according to Harry and Mary, their cheating is everything they want it to be
Well love don’t live here anymore
But love can be found anywhere as long as we are not together
That is according to Harry and Mary
Love on no rebound
Hear that, Harry and Mary in silence with no sound
Another beat having a retreat.

So I decided to see the sights
It was Hollywood in Burbank, California
NBC-TV
The theme then, “Come home to NBC
That was in 1983
But I was far from home, but it didn’t matter because with NBC anywhere could be home
I toured the NBC Studios and saw Celebrities along the way
I saw BOB HOPE who was tall and met personally and direct, ANN JULIAN being another celebrity
But I also saw the NBC Los Angeles News Team
However, it wasn’t just NBC alone as it was the acting and effects that makes NBC being NBC
We took an adventure into outer space, but we survived being our own trace
We also analyzed the game show of the “Wheel of Fortune” behind the scenes
The Wheel is nothing more than thin paper but you don’t see that on Television
In fact, the camera camouflages so you wouldn’t see what we saw
The labels on the wheel are glued and not exactly straight
This was my NBC adventure
Seeing the Studio a total venture
So I came home to New York from NBC Bliss
I was determined, I surely didn’t miss.

It’s not a place where you can get to by car
Yet it is an everlasting place

But as you keep reading the story you will find there was also a dip
As the Storm started to brew
The sea waves began to raw
It was high waves in what the Captain and crew saw
The Mighty winds began to blow at a steady pace
It was a wonder if the S.S. Voyager would be another ship erased
But it wasn’t just the wind and the Seas
It was the loudness of the Thunder, Flashing of Lightening and torrential rains that poured
But the entire element being controlled by the Mighty Lord
The S.S. Voyager fought the Mighty waves like a Rollercoaster in leaps and turns
The ship would often dip from side to side
But it seemed like the waves were telling the ship you will reside
Yet the Cargo managed to hold steady
The Ship maneuvered up and down with a hard front splash down
The splash of the ship the crew heard being the sound
But Captain Newsome was determined in getting the ship through uncertain waters
But the crew wasn’t exactly comfortable in their quarters
It was despite the uncontrollable breeze
It was hard for the crew to remain at ease
Captain Newsome steered the ship in hope that the ship doesn’t sink but remain a float
Captain Newsome was a men fierce being no joke
It was as if Captain Newsome got his wish
The Storm seemed to suddenly disappear
The clouds started to fade away

The S.S. Voyager continued on its destination far
It seemed the ship wasn’t going to make it, but the ship pulled through, but to the Captain, it was all nothing new.

Our Forefathers put the Constitution into law
They conquered and saw
The Constitution was written in stone
That means the President should leave alone
The Statue Of Liberty Poem states in what it should say
But the President can’t just get his way
I wouldn’t be surprised if Liberty Island becomes Forbidden Island

“By any means necessary”

Where there is determination, a destination must have a departure and arrival

The preparation in being ready to arrive with goals in mind

“You can **** a man, but you can’t **** a dream”

The whole concept is everlasting

You can **** a person, but reality of the dream can live on, and can come to the surface like a boat in a bottle

Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widow of Malcolm X

“I wish you success that equals your talent and determination”

I am an Alumni of CUNY Medgar Evers College, and had the honor and pleasure to have her teachings being one of my many Professors

To me, Talent and Determination must be a balanced scale of parallel in forming one’s true potential

In other words, where talent begins the journey, it’s determination that continues the journey into the everyday life cycle

To sum up entity, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Medgar Evers and Dr. Betty Shabazz all offered me encouragement in achieving in life being their given right

A plight  might be considered a block, the theory is getting pass any boundary no matter what, but with solid thinking in getting around that road block of life

Knowledge is Power

Understanding is Golden

Achieving is Splendor

Horizons too see, and objectives in sustaining what they should be.
