MY DIARY OF THE BLACK MAN
preservationman Mar 2019
Being the Leader in controlling one’s manly life
The Black Man  should always know what they want
Sometimes being guided from sound advice
Having confidence in being assured
Under the accord of Faith which comes from our Lord
Understanding being a Black Man
Not let opposition say otherwise
The Black Man if the head of the household by demand
Expressing conviction when emotions are wrong
Yet through it all remaining always strong
The Black Man knowing when to take his place
Sometimes the enemy wants to meet face to face
Creating the right environment for a family
Supporting the Wife or Girlfriend
Knowing the Wife or Girlfriend is the Black Man’s companion who will give good advice
The Black Man having no doubt to think twice
Being Father to your Son or Daughter as a Black Man should
But society wonders if the Black Man could
It’s about survival all in that order
The Black Man who romances a woman with having a baby
It means taking responsibility and not someone else
The Black Man is the unity being solely self
The Black Man must look beyond seeing the woman as a *** object
The woman has the right to reject
But it’s the enchanting interlude having the effect
The Black Man is considered a king
But the Black Man must always remember one thing
A woman is a Queen
The Black Man cannot substitute anything in between
The Black Man presents the image of destiny
The inspiration from within
The Diary of the Black Man
Psychological approaches throughout the land
The Black Man is who he is, and knows how to standalone.

Mysterious
Industrious
Curious
Don’t make him mad
He won’t be glad
But don’t be surprised if you see him wearing plaid
Steve’s story was once told
A very encouraging Man who is Old
When he talks his wisdom takes whole
But Steve is a Man who is bold
Steve once glazed at someone and they literally froze
It was a response in not being able to move
There was simply no statement to prove
That is just how Steve was
Mysterious to a cult
Don’t even think about taking a vote.

Be your own striving crunch numbering Factor
Having ability to become a commodity
See the distance in upward horizon
Every sentence and word a message of vital to be heard
Speak your own career gospel
Yet spoken out with shout
Analytical yet logical
Being specific in details
Success verses fail
Test the method
Evaluate the procedure
But feel the results
Expectations should be appreciations
Simple terms like abbreviations
Eye on being wise
Overcoming obstacles beyond despite
Your unexpected will be a welcome surprise
The thought having a realize
Imprecise
True purpose
Take charge
You are the Reactor Scale of Mobility
Upward flow
Knowledge putting you in the know
Plan and Analyze with having time to show.

Sunshine with a sundown
Night Stars and a Moon
Highway ride with destination arriving soon
With any luck, it could be before noon
It’s a journey on any highway bus
Relaxing in tranquil are the plus
Scenery beyond the Highway lamps
Writing my adventure and sharing using a stamp
Over the Bridges and seas
One can only imagine about the outside breeze
Also allergy season with a sneeze
Reclining back and ride the highway bus, one can feel at ease

Cars, Trucks and other buses pass us by
We make a sudden Rest Stop but don’t know the reason why?
We the passengers puzzled eye to eye
But it was only for a while and the bus pushes on
I felt previously asleep, but now have awoken from a yond
Hills and Mountains seem to rise
But that really is no surprise
I had to imprecise
Farmlands with Cattle
Towns people all Wave
At one point, I though the wave meant be safe and behave

Scenery seen through the view of the tinted windows making sight close up looking far
You wouldn’t get all that travelling by car
The highway bus
It was travel that involved all of us
Windows tinted and beautiful
Hearts inspired being plentiful
It was that highway of history back, but moving forward with enterprising track.

It happened high up on top while we were on the mount
The mount seemed to rock back and forth
Suddenly there was an immediate shake
All I could say was  “For Heaven’s Sake”
We realized we were in a middle of an Earthquake
There was certainly no place to run
We were in the Arizona desert in the hot sun
As we looked across the vast horizon to look upon
We could see in the distance where damage had been done
Cactus Trees were falling down
Mountain upon Mountain of rubble hurling from all around
There were no people to be found
Suddenly a stillness of shock was our only silent sound
The Earthquake may have eased down, but what about the aftershocks
Perhaps I spoke too soon
This could very well be our own doom
Debris was starting again to fly all over
There was no place to take cover
High up on the mount we were
We were certainly at the mount peak far
We didn’t see any sight of any car
But we seemed to survive an Earthquake’s rage
This could happen at any age
It was just another of God’s amaze.

It was the “Dazzling Blue Disco Club”
An Old Man 70 wearing a White Suit and Wig
You Dig
Clear the Dance Floor
The Old Man even had on Platform Shoes
Now he must decide on his dance partner to choose
Women will determine if they want to refuse
The Old Man considers himself a “Dancing Prancher”
But sounds more like a Rancher
Now the Old Man is dancing all over the Dance Floor
I think he needs to be committed for sure
Imagine an 70 Year Old man dancing under a crystalized Disco dazzling Ball with a young women in the music beats
That Old Man must have some aching feet
This would be a good time for him to give into defeat
The Old Man claims the music were songs being his jam
The Dancing partner lady was named Pam
The Disco beat goes on
I don’t know how the Old Man can dance so long
The dance floor he doesn’t belong
But now the Old Man is on the Dance Line
I think the Disco Club is just being kind
Anyway, this concludes the Dance Off
Disco thereof

HOUNDING DOG HIGHWAY

Bus and a Hound Dog
Some might consider a road hog
Distance measured in miles
A sit back doing while
Travel having a relax
Rest Stops with arrival and departure points
Sitting for long periods at a time can affect your joints
Motor Coach Engineer with precise timing in scheduling
Bus Connections at various stops
Sometimes delays cause Bus Connections being not
Yet a relaxing hound dog ride
It’s the lean back leather seats in what comfort they provide
The moment a passenger steps aboard
It’s the sleek look Greyhound Bus Blue in galore
The Go being getting the passengers to destination anywhere
Even Amtrak and Airlines don’t compare
The Hound Bus Dog are picture perfect
The Hound dog being America’s Icon
A dog resembling speed
America’s highways with welcome to proceed
A moving Greyhound bus always has a look of intrigue.

Initiation and Accelerate
Be on the move
Make your life a success in operation being smooth
Anchor your strategy being your ideas you want to prove

You control the when

The results in what you have established
Move forward, but only reflect back for a moment.

SENSELESS DEATH
preservationman Feb 2019
Dark Alley the very spot
Observation of a victim unaware of a plot
It was going to be a dare
It will be total darkness throughout the air
So as the victim walked
The killer was in pursue in stalked
It seemed as victim walked with one footstep at a time, there was immediately two footsteps being swished
The Moon was heavily shaded
It was a Cloudy gloomy night
But there was no place and time to turn
Soon after, the victim turned around and he was knocked in the head and collapsed to the ground
Suddenly silence was the sound
The Killer escaped into the night
Meanwhile, the victim lied still in a pool of blood flowing from the blow to the head
What a pity of the victim being murdered
No one knows the motive, and there were no witnesses
It was a poor soul in a senseless Death.

I GOT YOUR BACK
preservationman Feb 2019
Somewhere I have heard that before
I know that for sure
I remember as if it was yesterday
But then again, it happened all today
Let me take you back
My buddy and I were hanging on the Basketball Court
We often played on the Basketball on any given day including the weekends
We were shooting the Hoops and challenging each other
My buddy noticed some thugs walking towards us
He said, “I hope they don’t make a fuss”
My Buddy stated, I got your back
Meanwhile, I was getting punched and smacked
So much for my Buddy having my back
Then my Buddy and I were being pushed and shoved
It went into a complete beat down in fight
However, it turned into more like fright
But my Buddy and I began to take control
We were feeling Bold
Did these Thugs think we were going to let them push us around?
It was going to happen on these grounds
No matter what, we were going to defend ourselves
We weren’t born to be turtles in a shell
Our message in fight is our circumstance too tell
We have a right on this court
Our protection must be our fought
We have game
That shall remain
We have a name
Its Thugs beware
If you want to play Basketball, we can share
So if you Thugs don’t want to do that, we will take you out in a punch
So Buddy, “Do you still have my back?”
He said yes
I got knocked out with one hard punch and smack
Thanks Buddy for not having my back.

Influence having a name
But can Motivation and Aggravation be beat at their own game?
Motivation had a plan to assimilate
Now Aggravation certainly didn’t appreciate
But the terms were substantiate
It’s was valuing what was important between Motivation and Aggravation
But there seemed to be some suppression
Perhaps even some suspicion
Yet neither one wanted to answer with any suggestion
Motivation was determined to win over Aggravation
However, Motivation was more presentation
Aggravation was more condemnation
But they both might need a referee
But let me see
The best thing would be for Motivation and Aggravation to work as a team
Applying their own cognitive into one element
But would that be possible?
They would if Motivation wouldn’t be annoyed
Yet Aggravation wouldn’t think the idea being a ploy
So Motivation and Aggravation decided team up with two voices forming one concept
“Being Effective and Controlling Emotions”
It was a theme constructed by both
They simply called a truce, and agreed one on one in an oath.

Join me for Black History Month ride
A story of Afro-American contributes being the pioneers being a few in many such as DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., MEDGAR EVERS, GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER, EUBIE BLAKE, JACKIE ROBINSON, JOE BLACK and numerous others
Their determination and desire that “REACH” became important to me

When struggles come, and I am praying on my knees, and I am in tears
My struggles put in all kinds of fears
I wonder Lord do you care
It’s my wonder
Then praying and waiting a moment for an answer
My struggles start turning to doubt
But I call on loud, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus in a despair shout
Waiting and wondering
It isn’t until later, a voice tells me to “Stand” being so merciful and gentle but is the Great I am
So I rise up from praying on my knees being a voice from Heaven
Jesus response says, “I am the Lord that hears all cries
I am the Lord that conquers that people can’t overcome
I am the Lord that is always among
Yet, you are never alone
I am your Comforter, Counselor, Problem Solver and everything else one could think of but in the Heavenly sense
Your own doubt held you back at your moment
Observe the wonders of what I put on this Earth
Watch as the clouds change in formations
Weather and how the seas wave
I am that God and will always be that God
Your struggles are going to be worked out
It was solid praying of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus in your shout
That was your praise
But watch as I amaze
Don’t doubt, but hold on to Faith
Continue to stand and walk, but wonder no more
Jesus I am as its salvation to always explore.

I am often discouraged and depressed
I confide in people, but they often could care less
I know prayer can change things
It’s Faith in Believing in bling
Heaven is truly our daily bread
Nourishment to the senses
But there is so much turmoil here in Earth
This is all happening on God’s given Earth soil
Corruption has stretched beyond one’s expectations
Too be honest, there would be many explanations

Revelation being the intervention
With the signs of the Lord’s coming, the world needs to pay attention
Salvation is our key to existence
But the Devil empowers in Faith resistance
Heaven sees Faith as present tense, but the Devil tries to override in past tense
How much more can the world bare?
What will be the response when Christ is seen from the air?
The world will be caught by an expected surprise
Puzzled faces reflecting on realize
But then, will it be too late?
Fate
I shatter to think
Caution and Danger all come together
But when it comes to salvation, the Faith Warriors have nothing to worry about
All it takes is praise and blessings of shout

Yet my heart still grieves for a world that is deceitful
But I do have Faith in the Heaven name
It’s Christ Jesus that shall remain
My open letter is not to clarify
But to encourage in giving Jesus a try
Your Faith will be stronger for thy
Praying with an always connection one on one
Hope is being in spirit and Faith strong in sustaining among.

High rise above
Flightless, but no Dove
A Young Man knocked on a Female Senior’s door
He wanted to make sure she had a balcony for sure
The Young Man pushed the senior out of the way, but only after the senior said “Yes”, he headed for her balcony to explore
He leaped to his Death from the 12th Floor
The Young Man died on impact
Reasons unknown
An investigation will have to be shown
This could be called “Valentine Leap”
His soul is wandering in who will keep
The arrow that pierced that was fierce
Love no longer on the line
Possible love rejection just might be the indication
But the Young Man holds the key
What could the motive be?
Death being the actual
The Young Man would be the factual
Death took its toll
The accords, no one knows for sure
This situation is nothing to ignore
What do any witnesses know?
Suicide was on the line, but whatever the circumstance it wasn’t fine.

A new approach in job candidates is Resume TV
Up Front and Personal
Show your employment background right on the air

Now could be an added perk

Represent on spotlight
But it will be your experience being the highlight
Illustrating on Cue
It’s your personal Resume for companies to go through
Your Resume being your dotted line
The image of you that highlights you fine
Companies can see for themselves
No excuses in thought you were somebody else
Resume TV will capture the actual you
It will be up to all companies in research to pursue
Resume TV is ready to roll
So on the air is about candidate employment reviewing with establishing Behold.

YOU ARE NOT ALL THAT

So you think you are all that
For the moment let me retract
You see me and think I am nothing
But what you don’t know, I have a base
Its called respect face to face
I have achieved in life
I don’t need anyone’s advice
Accomplishment is a given right
I don’t have to cultivate nor be polite
I am a person who was created from Heaven
I am the blessing behind the praise
Wisdom and Understanding that came from the amaze
While you think you are on top of the world
It’s Heaven that makes my spirit and inspiration swirl
My knowledge is from the Holy ONE
This is what makes me stand out and being distinguished among
You on the other are loss in the crowd trying to find your way
But I am guided above and have direction without going astray
So no need to be on your high horse
Remember being a snob a horse can rebel in force
Keep you nose straight being parallel with respect
That sophistication has no elect
It shows mannerisms that fall under reject
You are not better than me
Don’t be a show off for all too see
Be a person who is satisfied with a positive vision
Have thoughts that are within reason
But always remember, “You are not all that until God makes you all that”.

Struggles upon struggles
Fight, Fight, Fight
Protest into true confess
Civil Rights strong with a meaning
This is what Dr. Martin Luther King was demonstrating
Justice with Equality for all and continues to be an absolute must
It’s not about one Race but all being us
The mission was to bring all Races together on one accord
Of course this was going to happen under the watching eyes of our Heavenly Lord
It wasn’t just a dream but it was a vision to move forward, and step back
Civil Rights was the floor plan for the world to take their rightful place
But Dr. King wasn’t going to stop until Justice was in the right face
Avion in beauty
Multitudes being unity
Today 2019, the battle still continues
But 2019 seems to be stuck in repeat from the 1960’s
Dr. Martin Luther King has passed on
But we as the people need to get along and show the powers that be that we belong
Change takes a time, but time has a victory
Victory is its own story
Civil rights seems to be pushed back
But what would Dr. Martin Luther King think of that?
Dr. King is probably turning over in his grave
Now injustice has gone rapid and doesn’t know how to behave
Dr. Martin Luther King was a true leader and devoted in what he felt should be right
Now we shouldn’t take his efforts being light
Voices with power still have might
Dr. King’s dream did come to life
No need to cultivate with sugar and spice
Yet, Civil Rights still has continued work to be done
Let us all come together being among
It doesn’t matter from sun up to sun down
Civil Rights should on our lips being found.

Humidity of summer is all through the air
But the height of desire being my total fulfillment

A SHIP CALLED EMILY MORGAN

Does anybody know what the ship “Emily Morgan” is?
Think hard as I might be giving a Quiz
The ship is of a Merchant Vessel
But someone famous you know was part of this ship
However, here’s a tip
It’s a famous store name in Herald Square
The name is advertised regularly on the air
The man’s name is R.H. Macy
But here is the full name Rowland Hussey Macy
Mr. Macy was a Merchant ****** from Nantucket in Cape Cod, MA
If you are or were a Macy’s shopper, I am sure you didn’t know that being part of Macy’s Heritage
But I wanted to share being my privilege
So set sail was how Mr. Macy ventured
But it was the mightier the storm, the wonders of the adventure
Mr. Macy was often guided on the Emily Morgan using his own initiative
He sailed on the seas of Cape Code, but New Bedford, MA being one of his ports
So the Emily Morgan was a ship with a Macy’s Department Store mission
Mr. R.H. Macy was a Merchant ****** that made it happen.

As a Landlord, this is not your fault and I won’t evict you out
The reason I have compassion
Something can always be worked out
I know what you are going through
I have been down this road myself
So evict is not on my mind
I least I am a Landlord that is genuine
Now if our President could have the same approach
Sounds like I am making a joke
So Federal Government employees hold on
This shutdown can’t continue very long
Hostage is not a remedy
The President is simply a comedy
We are talking about human lives
Survival is a how people stride
Frustration is just one illustration
But the President needs to work things out
Right now all the President does is beef in shout.

THE CONCEALED DREAM
preservationman Jan 2019
I have a dream
That very statement that Dr. Martin Luther King made which he affirmed
It was a vision Dr. King saw
Civil Rights certainly was nothing to ignore
Yet since Dr. King has passed away
His philosophy seemed to have gone astray
Dr. King’s dream has turned to a nightmare
Man wants Hope and Inspiration to disappear
Man thinks they are the answer
But the true answer is Jesus Christ
Dr. Kong showed the world, your rights are your grounds to stand
Its written constitution throughout the land

Race and Creed are values
It’s not a curse in what Man believes
But also don’t be taken in by deceive
It’s a matter of Man’s inner intrigue
But Rights and Freedom is how all Races are too proceed
Dr. King’s vision has become written legacy
Hope and inspiration we should all keep in our hearts
Come together and unite
No such word of probably in “Might”
United is unification in what multitudes can accomplish
The world is not ordinary
In fact it is contrary
Dreams can be seen
But there must be an understanding in what they mean
Dr. King was a forward man
A leader who marched on
Yet the battle is unfinished and not won
We as the multitudes cannot sit back continue to be outdone
Dr. King wants us to continue the fight
This is our sunrise being our new day of light
Negative people continue to talk but be unsure
Those people we need to absolutely ignore
We are a nation
Goodness and Quality is our appreciation
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice and Equality to all
This is the dream that Dr. King saw
What was a reflection is our message on continuation
Tomorrow might seem close yet far
It’s easy to say yes or no
But remember, assumption is not a theory
Understanding is no mystery
Accomplishment is an effort
A dream is a preparation to achieve
Stay focused
Observe as you go along
Races upon Races, this is a nation where all belong
God saw it so why can’t we
Dignity is an honor
Virtual is a reality.

Look at that, we arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah
We certainly travelled far
As too be expected, the Pregnant Woman travelling was having a few labor pains
But according to the schedule, we pushed on
We just crossed the Nevada State Line
But keep Baby arrival in mind
We made a brief rest stop, but the baby is ready to see the world
We the passengers noticed the Greyhound Driver counting her contractions

I seem to have a mark in being a Greyhound Bus Company Employee
But let me explain in understanding so you can see
It was three years ago
Now this is a dialog so I will narrate slow
I was waiting for a specific departure being a Greyhound Bus at the New York City Port Authority Bus Terminal
My destination was Philadelphia, PA
It was an Express Bus
I was on my way to the Philadelphia Flower Show
As I was standing waiting for the bus to pull up to the Gate and Load
Too my surprise, a Travelling Customer was passing by and stated directly to me, I look like I work for Greyhound
Now even though I am a Greyhound fan, I made sure I wasn’t wearing any bus memorabilia on
The only thing I was wearing was my Bus Patches on my Denim Jacket, but my Coat was hiding it
So I wonder was Greyhound written on my forehead
What did that travelling Customer feel I was knowledgeable about Greyhound
Whatever the event, the secret was out
Perhaps being destined to work for Greyhound is what I am talking about
Imagine, From the Greyhound slogan being my version, “Greyhound and me, travel with adventure and take it from me”.

OCEAN LOVE
preservationman Jan 2019
The sea of waving delight
A Cruise ship get away leaving behind feeling uptight
An adventure morning, noon and night
Enchanted by the shining moon
I hear melody’s playing all the right tunes
A ship full of romance
There will be one giving me the chance
A breeze whispering saying, “Just sit back and relax”
This is a cruise that will have an embrace
Like I said previously, there’s no time to waste
Love is all over your lips
The cruise maybe a trip
But romance is the tip
As our eyes take notice
It’s the kiss being our connection
The shining moon full of promise
But it’s our heart to heart being honest
We sip wine and dine
The total atmosphere is simply fine
The band is playing our song
The dance floor is where we both belong
Our love between we can only boost
We have our own personal oath
Even though the ship is descending only on the ocean, our love has been transmitted coast to coast
Our love was meant too be
We signal that we want the entire world too see
As we hold hands on the ship deck
I propose on one knee and I say what the heck
I ask the question in “Will you marry me?” and you immediately said “Yes”
Fireworks seem to shoot into the air at that moment
Now what was an individual cruise is now our honeymoon
Love on our mind and will report back soon.

One man who stood among giants
Short in status
Mighty in endurance
It was the spotlight in posing
The man’s name was Ed Corney
Mr. Corney was a Master Poser
Amazement and determination throughout
Dazzle in muscle as they entertained
Ed Corney is a name that just remain
It all relates to the sport of Bodybuilding
Mr. Corney muscles were always ready and pumped
He trained with precision
Mr. Corney practiced posing with all the right moves
Posing with transition in elegance being smooth
Dramatics beyond any verbal script, but creativity being an art
Mr. Corney can be seen in the documentary of Bodybuilding being “PUMPING IRON “
Bodybuilding was Ed Corney’s heart
It was the fire burning within from the very start

One would often see Ed Corney among Arnold Schwarzzenger, Franco Columbu and Serge Nubret and other Bodybuilding champions
Mr. Corney trained lacking nothing, but everything to gain
Competition to win being the purpose
Yet Ed Corney was more than just Bodybuilding
It didn’t matter he won numerous bodybuilding titles, but ne never loss sight of devoted fans
It was Mr. Corney fans encouragement, and that is what caught Mr. Corney’s eyes on the prize of bodybuilding achievement
Mr. Corney was a humanitarian in every sense of the word
The weights in all gyms have dropped down on all floors
The loss of a Bodybuilding Champion
A long list of Bodybuilding competitions
A muscled hero will be posing in Heaven
Ed Corney’s final competition is won
He is in God’s Kingdom
God said, “I will give you rest and on Earth you did your best”
You have achieved awards on Earth
But Heaven will be your enriched birth
Ed Corney words he might would say, “Thank you fans, but my work in Bodybuilding is finished, and remember me in being distinguished. Train wise and achieve your own expectations, but always have the art of Bodybuilding in appreciation. Remember the greats who made Bodybuilding what it is today, and tomorrow being your heritage. It has been honor to share with you being one of the Bodybuilding stars. My journey has taken me beyond the Bodybuilding skies and planets. This is not a finale, but until we meet again.

Truth being the actual facts
Timelines that illustrate the stacks
A look back with helping to move forward
But knowing the truth one must be able to except the truth
Believing the truth is real
But along with truth comes lies
However that should be no surprise
A perfect example is when the WHITE HOUSE makes a statement it becomes a questionable though being truth with a lie mixed in
It wasn’t until when
There was no truth from the very beginning
Lies become the forefront
Truth was never meant to be the font
Real truth is real understanding with wanting to expel the truth
But Dr. Dyson explains the truth right out and being direct
“Fact is and it is fact that will stay”
Lies don’t make it right, but they do try with no understanding and guidance behind it
Truth is knowledge within the understanding, and the theory of precise logic in strategy
So what does truth sound like?
Make a Truth statement and watch for the response
Can you handle the truth?
Listen for the facts
This is my review and what do you think of that.

It was the hour before Midnight the time for a Holiday Poet write
The Poet knew it had to be something that would excite
Burning the night thinking oil
Yet being intrigue with no foil
A little boy was sitting in his own house on Santa’s lap
Santa in smiles with a jolly look along with his Red and White including his cap
The Little boy’s parents were asleep for the night in their deep nap
Soon after, the little boy offered Santa a Cookie and Milk snack
During this time, Santa was narrating all about the North Pole
It was a wonder in the little boy taking whole
As the story would start, the Elves are the toy makers and the production
That was Santa’s introduction
The little boy responded, “Toys”
Oh what a joy
Of Course, Ms. Claus keeps Santa fattened up
Oh the Christmas winter snows and the shining stars
Every Star twinkles far
Yet they bring a remembrance of a miracle
Oh come all you happy Children
Marvel the wonder and Spectacular
Look to Christmas beyond
It was a little Babe that was born
Being the Light of the World that would be walking among
Santa’s fascination in narration caused the little boy to break into a yond
Now was now time for the little boy to sleep
Santa has a busy schedule to keep
So Santa carried the little boy to his bed
Lately called all his Reindeer
Right at that moment, Santa dashed away
Gifts were left under the little boy’s Tree
The Christmas momentum in preserver
The holiday season had truly arrived
Yet the night was Santa’s threshold in behold
Yonder the star and a Babe being holy a far
Season’s Greetings too all
Cheers and be Merry.

What really happened to Humpty Dumpty?
Nursery rhythms said he had a great fall
But who really made that call?
Now it could have been someone who had revenge
Rage beyond expectation
There were eyes being a witness who actually saw what happened to Humpty Dumpty?
He could have been cracked open
Certainly there was a purpose
It was a case being over easy with sunny side up
Yet someone won’t confess because they are all fed up
So many question with no precise answers
It’s an egg shell mess still with no confess
So the mystery of Humpty Dumpty fall still lives on
A story with its own dialog
A Nursery rhythm having a belong
But for now I must say so long.

This will be our long awaited getaway
It will be any destination of choice
We are climbing to the very stop of the Rocky Mountains
Endurance being in order to expel strength in racing the top
Brief pauses being only a short stop
The peak at the top having a horizon view
It’s a matter of taking it all in that’s due
Since it was cold at the top of the Rocky Mountains
It’s a flight away
Let’s go and get a tan on the French Riviera
We just lay on the beach and soaking up that warm sunshine
Letting sweat turn our bodies into a golden tan
This is relaxation known to man
That was a nice two days
It was all sunrays
Now follow me this way
Let’s journey on the Pacific Ocean on a boat heading for Catalina Island
A rich man’s paradise
Casino’s looking for bets
Also some losing bets in regret
I am in the mood for glass bottom boats
What lurks below the deep blue?
All kinds of fish
But let’s put on a diving suit and see below
However, we must be careful and slow
Sharks lurk below
Seeing Sharks and Fish up close
Picture taking moment of the ocean below

Some dreams can take affect
While others might to reject
In any event, dreams can become the actual
Yet be nothing unusual
A little boy would often dream of Driving a Real Greyhound Bus
You see, the little bus had lots of toy Greyhound buses, and dream of going from the toy Hound bus to the real one as his dream states
Well that’s an appreciate
The little boy thought of all of the Greyhound bus
Travelling from cities to town being pluses
But there is something about a dream that might have a message
It’s Desire, Commitment and Responsibility
But what does this have to do with a little boy’s dream?
The dream shows an open road into a career of possibility
Now don’t laugh
It could very well become a reality
How did this dream actually start?
The little boy would often travel on Greyhound a lot visiting his Grandmother in Chicago at Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays
However, the little boy was fond of animals, and the Hound dog perhaps captured the little boy’s heart
So the dream whisked the little boy into a reflection of destiny
The highway alone in the dream being encouragement
The Greyhound Bus itself showing the little boy the way
His little fingers on the steering wheel
The whole dream feeling like a movie reel
Wheels in motion
In the distance crossing a bridge across the ocean
All the wonders of the Greyhound bus
Grasping the little boy’s attention with no fuss
It all surrounds the Greyhound bus
Ok Thomas, it’s time to awake
You don’t want to get to school late
The little boy now is all grown up
He drives a real Greyhound Bus and travels the U.S. Continent
The dream did the preparation
The dream was simply a little boy’s hidden mind in creation.

Having no direction beyond his own compare
A man loss with no directional finder
It’s a case of being confused
But at some point in the man’s life he was used
However, the man used other people in his lifetime
Some might consider him like everybody else
Yet the man is of human nature

Now help me in giving this man some sort of insight
But it must be inspiration in getting him out of his plight
Right now he is in a dark tunnel needing light
Trust in above
It’s Heaven too think of
Inspiration that comes from a total high
Your question needs no answer as of why
Just give heaven a try

As I narrate further, the man was once married, but he also cheated on his wife
Now for that, he deserves no advice
The man and his Wife would often argue and Shout
Curse words after another I am talking about
So his Wife told him to pack his bags and whatever belongings he could carry went with him on the pavement which became his home
But now he is alone
Well maybe not totally alone in the sense of physical presence

The man’s loss base with family and friends
However, the question is, will the Man’s life ever mend
No, we are not at the end
So what words of encouragement do you think I should give other than what I said already
Prayer is priority

A LIFE FULL OF DREAMS
preservationman Nov 2018
The moment seemed long
I felt society I didn’t belong
But that is what society wanted me to think
I was thinking like a weak link
I was released from Prison being incarcerated
I had committed a crime stealing cars
I was robbing but didn’t get far
While I was behind those Prison walls, I would often dream in being free
Yet it was associating the understanding being the key
It seemed like it was an illusion but it was all seclusion

I saw myself being a Self-Motivator
Now in other encourage others, I had to first inspire myself
Going out and encourage young people to not be a bad example from the streets
But don’t go to Prison being a moment of temporary or even permanent defeat
Turn your cell experience into enduring inspiration
Life does have appreciation but you have to look around and find positive circles that will enrich your spirit straight to your heart
Where there is a bad road, you will also find a good road
Society will say you have no place
It is all about taking the chance and being given a chance
This is the way one does advance
But society wants a bad person to be an automatic human delete as a waste
It becomes cope with a hesitate
But as a Former Inmate, it doesn’t have a take
You have value and it all started when you were born
There was a reason and a destiny with a purpose

However, long before Prison and bad habits, I went to College and earned two degrees, a Bachelors in Business Management and a Masters in Public Administration
Even though education was my start, I had built the foundation
But I see there is a question, so what happened of why I went into crime?
You see I had the education, but I mixed up with the wrong elements figuring I could get them to change, but it came reverse, they made me change thinking my education was nothing more than proving something to the Man
But I proved that I could sustain knowledge and make something of my life regardless of what negative people think
It’s all about turn around and move fast forward
But never dwell on sorrows within uncertain rivers
But despite Prison, I still have the education appreciation
However, you emphasize the value of you before Prison even came up
Yet don’t get fed up
Just continue to present and what you have established in your own component of life and what it represents

Quality being golden comes within
Assumption is thinking then into present
A bad situation can comer with a learning good ending
Ladder words is what will help you reach the top
REACH, ELEVATE, CLIMB, MOVEMENT, STEP BY STEP
When it comes to knowledge don’t stop
Knowledge is the key in giving you the know how
It doesn’t necessarily have to be college, but educate yourself in something that will make you a stand out as a commodity

When people try to mock
Just say and plain simple tone, you haven’t been where I was, but my life is enhanced with goodness from on high, and there is a good person inside with a heart
Cherish always being you
Understand your theory in being you but having no mistaken command
You are a person in which no one can change, but you that person who can rearrange
My dreams always have a full hope
It doesn’t make you a dope
Yet it comes with assurance you will always be able to cope.

Bodybuilding Magazine relaying Bodybuilders and Bodybuilding coverage
Expressing to the world Bodybuilding was a sport
But don’t cut the sport short
It was going to take persuasion and instilling Bodybuilding appreciation
So the journey being a determined mission

Yet, it was on to discover Arnold Schwarzenegger Whose name Joe Weider had heard of
This Writer actually met Arnold Schwarzenegger personally when he was competing during his Bodybuilding days and the title was “Mr. Olympia” in New York City
I met Mr. Schwarzenegger at the Mid-City Gym in New York City
Arnold would often have trouble saying my name Anthony
Today, he would have no trouble saying my name because he was once a California Governor and a Movie Star
However, I was intrigued to see Sergio Olivia, Jr playing his Father in the Movie, Sergio Olivia, SR
What a combination?
Now the Sergio Olivia, Sr was a Cuban Weightlifter, and became a high Ranking Bodybuilder standing with Arnold Schwarzenegger
What makes Sergio Olivia, SR was when he posed in the ***** pose with humongous Lats when it came to Bodybuilding competition
So Sergio Olivia, Jr was following in his father’s footsteps with destination being stardom
But the Mr. Olympia is still the number one Bodybuilding competition today
Joe Weider saw the vision and how Bodybuilding will make the Mr. Olympia competition worthwhile
Are your muscles pumped to perfection?
Joe Weider’s legacy left behind, “Muscles pumped to Victory”
There’s training to be done
It’s Bodybuilding Victory I want all too be among
Yet, remember what I accomplished in looking upon.
