YET I LIVE
The Death Angel wanted me to take
The record showed it was all a mistake
Death was knocking hard to get
It was the Death Angel regret
Yet I live
People even tried to **** me
I wouldn’t die
I was here for a purpose
Faces dropped in obvious
I continue to live to fulfill
People even said, I have no reason to live because I am nobody
I live because I was created to live
Heaven said my room wasn’t ready as I have more living still
Many people want me dead
I am a strong enforcer in taking living seriously
Death doesn’t happen just like that unless you truly want it to happen
I live because I was chosen to live the full creed until everlasting comes.

JOURNEY BEYOND
The past
The mission
Far
Civil Rights
Equality and end of discrimination
One voice and chosen Leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jailed and beaten
Threatened
The reason to be more determined
Silence not
Fulfilling the conquest
Time after time
Before into now
The struggles continue
Dismay
Civil Rights reversed
Powers that be
The world can see
Rights walking their last mile
Discouraged while
Dr. King illustrated the have and have nots in plain sight
We are back to the plight
Our tomorrow was put in a dusty file
Forgetfulness while
Humanitarian pause
No cause
Excuses after excuses
The need to proceed
Dr. King’s creed
Our efforts indeed
Dr. King observing above
Civil Rights is what we all should be thinking of
Understand, Reflect and Respond
Stand up on principles
Respond on action
Movement
Turn injustice to equal justice
Dr. King fought hard and travelled far
Journey’s beyond
His dream to look upon
We must believe we can
Our hearts must transcend
Turn the pave of Racism into togetherness as one
Remember Dr. Kings struggles
Never tire
We must gain access
Prosecution unseen
Dr. King’s voice shouted anguished
The movement that was determined
His vision of Civil Rights
Dr. King is our inspiration
Our former President Obama words, “Yes we can and shall”
We must maintain our fight in always exercising our rights
The powers that be want all races to go back into time of then
The world needs to understand, we went forward, and can’t go back
Dr. King wasn’t about separation, but bringing all races together in harmony
The light seems to keep dimming, and we can’t let it diminish
Once in darkness, always in darkness
Washington seems to have closed its eyes
We the American people must realize
Stand up for the cause
We still have work to do that Dr. King couldn’t finish
He sits high and is looking down
What happened to the people I fought for
We must rule Racism out
It wasn’t easy for Dr. King and it won’t be easy again
It’s a purpose and demand
We are all one on America’s land
Like I said earlier, Dr. King’s message for us is UNDERSTAND, REFLECT and RESPOND
Don’t let Dr. King’s dream die out
We are his dream, and we must fulfill
Continue to prevail without fail
Follow Dr. King’s trail
It is more important than ever before
We can’t go backwards
Together, we need to overcome and shall be determined
Dr. King saw the dream
We must embrace his efforts
We need to see a better tomorrow
Reflect back, but only for the moment
We shall overcome, one day
Through God’s help, we will fulfill.

When Mouse enters, make them get out
Put two Ultrasonic devices in every room
It will spell mouse doom
As the mouse roams on tour
Show them your house is no allure
Let your tracks lure them to their end
Be smart as the mouse
Show them you live here and it is your house
Watch their movement
I always say too them, go back to Disneyworld
I control and swirl
Pests are not welcomed here
Show the mouse fear
Let darkness be your advantage
Use strong and wide black sticky traps
In the track they shall go
No more pest, just the house freedom flow
I wanted to put you in the know
The Mice will be packing their bags and permanently out
Mouse free and watch them flee
This procedure mentioned is between you and me
Wait and see
House control
Mice and mouse behold
Get out and watch as the pest control gets bold
The house is always a family threshold.

Hungry and Thirty

Surrounded by trees and swamp
One could be animal food
As darkness falls into the night
Bearings unknown
One can lose their mind
Trance of thought to nowhere
Movement pause
Frightened
Heart pounds
Environment nature sounds
Never ending
Wonder
How, When, and If
Unsearchable
Perhaps even untraceable
How long able?

MATCHMAKING COMMUTE
Man meets Woman
Saw each other as just another commuter
Average straphangers
They weren’t expecting romance
Subway ride through the love tunnel
Suddenly a change of pace
Rush hour minute
Usual crowd
As the Man and Woman were pinned together on a crowded subway train
This is where the subway romance began to build up
Eye to Eye facing each other
The man kiss to the woman
Love came front and center target
The romance of two
They dated for months and three years
They were now Husband and Wife
The daily subway ride had made the romance rise
No surprise

SLAVE BY AND BY SONG
My days grow short
My eyes grow weak
Been a slave most of my life
The thought of Freedom
My knowledge in wisdom
Blisters on my feet when I try the plantation retreat
Beaten and clothes always torn
Forced into intimacy woes
Working the plantation fields under the hot sun
It’s a wonder I am still living among
Lord, look down and guide me
Heaven is wise
Plantation owners don’t want me to pray
This is every day
I chant silently in praying words
My voice to you Lord needs to be heard
Praying out with a hopeful thought
How long and when will I be free?
Every day Death runs through my mind
Beat me until I no longer can be beaten
My soul will live forever
I could be buried in unknown graves
I want to see everlasting light
Being a slave seeing no more plight
Freedom Freedom Freedom for all time
Being like a Tomorrow’s sunrise
A slave no more
A New life to explore
The horizon in the distance
Closer I want
Freedom, I want to see
Given praise too Thee
Yet, I will continue to pray
One day
I shall be free
You won’t see in the night
Not center stage
Not among the Big Dipper
Just recognition
Deep down warm spirit
A star humanitarian on Earth
Reason and purpose
Goodness above the surface
Just obvious
Sometimes angry and furious
Qualities no one sees
A let down
Alive and standing
No one cares
Ugly Duckling
No want to be
Creation in taking to time to see and know
Dimmed spotlight
Darkness surrounds
No image to make out in vision
The wonder
A timed out
A star humanitarian just wants to advance
Not to entertain
Acceptance to individual hearts
No rule
Not a fool
Like having a dislike
Star in mind
Life is so unkind
Star within
Figure it out
Being created a humanitarian star within always
Approach
You decide
Humanitarian star speaks
A star is what a star will always be
Take the time to see

BELIEVING IN YOURSELF
Know that you can
Enforce you will
Build up determination
Let Faith stride
Inspiration will provide
Let your before thinking into after results
Not an exercise
Only a realize
Destiny being the choice
Express using your voice
Don’t filter out
This is not what believing is all about
Assurance straight and narrow within
A new begin
Just let your goodness settle in
No otherwise
Just energize
Turn No into Yes I did
No forbid
Outward and onward
Mobility in responsibility
Quality in you to appreciate
No hesitate
Believing now through everlasting
Always believe to keep

POET ACT
preservationman Dec 2023
Do I go left or right?
Do I just think on a plight?
It’s a wonder
Through the darkness needing understanding
Embracing the tears through fear
When Can and Maybe preserver
The mind questions
The voice wants to respond
Tomorrow’s wisdom
Assurance suddenly arises
The spotlight doesn’t show the inner soul
Alone being the only threshold
Standing as an individual Poet
Enthused in spirit
Blessed merit
Not an easy chore
Learning being me to explore
Couldn’t ignore
Being sure of myself
Not words, but confidence with every ouch of courage
Strength within making me strong
It was my armor to put on
Ordeals being reality for real
Words are what a Poet says
Words are what a Poet confides
Sentences lead the way being an escort
Never ending, but always forgiving
The words are always everlasting
Appreciative and subjective

A CLOSE INTO ENTER
preservationman Dec 2023
Front and Center
2023 a year of doubt
Plenty of corruption bout
Through situations and circumstances
No way out
Protestors chanting in shouts
Unrest and no peace
No assurance in the least
Lives loss for unseen reasons
The world seemed like it was unglued
2023 felt more like a conclude
Justice with questionable values
Washington, DC Political voices stand, but who was listening?
Battles after battles, but still no cease
The Media telling nothing but daily negative
It was totally an objective.

2023 offered plenty of uncertainty
So what do you expect from 2024
No straight answer
It is a wait and see approach
I would love to see World Peace, Togetherness and Total Unity
End of Violence
Respect and eliminated hatred
Race not being a factor
A total subtractor
2024 I hope will be different from 2023
Negativity out and Prosperity in
A world of tranquil and smiles
Where overcoming struggles while
Upbeat
2024 that would be neat
We can only hope with expect
That would be a blessing having that effect
2023 we say goodbye
It wasn’t an easy try
2024, please enlighten us
Away with fuss and cuss
2024, please do your best
Accepting nothing for less
More is better
2024, we await.

TAKE ME BACK IN TIME
preservationman Dec 2023
Through my own time capsule
Enterprising memories
It was that small Greyhound Bus Station in Togetherness County, Georgia
That’s where I would visit my Grandparents for the Holidays
The Greyhound bus would be the way
My Grandparents would be the stay
The Christmas air and anticipation of Grandma’s variety of Food and deserts
I Can’t forget her homemade biscuits
As I often reclined back in my Greyhound bus seat, I would sleep and dream of snow
It was almost like magic
It always snowed
The Greyhound Bus Motor Coach Engineer would maneuver the bus ever so carefully around the slick highways and back roads
We would pass Caroler’s singing and wave on the side of the road
Town’s people would wave as if to say, “Welcome”
I could almost smell Grandma’s cooking while traveling on the Greyhound bus
We were getting ever so close to my final destination
Soon my Holiday adventure would begin
Just around the bend and down the road
We arrived at Togetherness County, GA Bus Station
My Grandparents were right there when my bus pulled in
Once I got off the Greyhound bus, it was strong hugs from my Grandparents of enduring love
Nothing but warmth of affection
My mouth of watering for my Grand Mother’s sweet potato pies
Aroma of food goodness touched my senses in the house
The Holiday to embrace
The sweet memories
I am old now
Still having those memories
My Grandparents have longed passed on
Tears are starting to form in my eyes
My Grandparents who were wise
The holidays that were galore
I know for sure
Glister of delight
Christmas Grandparents style
A look back
It’s hard to keep track
Blessings at that
A small Greyhound Bus Station with singing Caroler’s started all
My Grandparents memories, togetherness a lifetime
Rejoice and be happy
Memories pure memories
Everlasting thoughts
Embracing heart
Holidays never a depart.

On the first day of Christmas
The Lord gave me a gift being a blessing to write

On the second day still inspired that went into the night

On the third day, I didn’t take the gift light

On the fourth day, continued to write with no plight

On the fifth day, joy all the way

On the sixth day, we had a snowstorm, and got out my sleigh

On the seventh day, fun being travel in a getaway

On the eighth day, thankful in every way

On the nineth day, rest and sleep

On the tenth day, dreaming of sheep

On the eleventh day, surrounded by family and friends

On the twelve day, the holiday slowly wined down, and came to an end

I HUNGER
preservationman Dec 2023
No feed
I cry
No compassion
I starve
No love
I am homeless
I grow weak
Darkness in my eyes
My body can sometimes be motionless
I get Dizzy
Drinking water is fizzy
***** and not pure
The world seems to spin in my head
Passerby’s just walk by and ignore
It’s like I am not there
I am homeless, but have dreams
I just imagine, I am off the streets and living in a house
Not sharing the streets with anyone not even a mouse
Hunger sounding loud
Stomach pains daily roar

Not easy to smile when your homeless and hungry
My tomorrows are always stuck on today of every moment
Never a pause, but always with a cause
No one knows the struggles until one feels it in reality
I feel sick at times, but no medical care to remedy
I could die on the streets
Tormented full of bitterness
Words of evil form within my tongue
My shouts to the world in feed me, but stays on starve
Rain falls feeling like a cleanse

When it is cold, the Sun brings the warmth
Never know where my tomorrow will become
Lonely on the streets
Nowhere to turn
Eating garbage of food thrown away by people and restaurants
It becomes competition between me and stray animals
Homeless becomes a reality check being survival
Hunger mounts heavy
Holding steady
All I can do is dream as that is all I have
Maybe one day I won’t be homeless and have a hearty meal
Who am I fooling?
Homeless until
Now it is just another day being welcomed on the pavement of life
Hunger always on my mind
Homeless nothing
Walking
Embracing in my own thoughts
Pavement alone to nowhere.

Close to the Heavenly Father
Like no other
Embrace in how I made you smile
During your hard times while
My heart I gave
At peace in my grave
Some people never gave me a time of day
Too those, I stayed astray
My life is now complete
No more surrounded with the world deceit
Never gave into defeat
Always held my head high
The reason being guided by Thy
Proud of how my life turned out
Daily as I moved about
In a positive way
Every day
Some people just don’t care
Fair is written in the air
Fulfillment made
Out of the shade into forgiveness
Heaven is my witness
Determined will
Acceleration from still
My Soul at rest
Only I can contest
Goodbye won’t be said
Until we meet again instead.

My realization of Miracle on 34th Street that came to life
My years working for Macy’s Corporate at the Flagship Herald Square Tower
It was the Macy’s and Gimbel’s competitive era
The miracle started with Macy’s was planning a big advertising campaign
The story begins with a Macy’s Buyer and Gimbel’s Buyer having lunch
Both Buyers asked the same question of what was happening at both companies
Macy’s and Gimbel’s were foes
Being both dominance on Herald Square back then, and Macy’s still is
They always had to outdo the other
As it turned out, the Macy’s Buyer told the Gimbel’s Buyer exactly what was happening at Macy’s
So how, Gimbels heard about the advertising campaign that Macy’s was going to illustrate
For Gimbels that was an appreciate
Strategy beat to the punch
Gimbel’s presented Macy’s advertising campaign making it there’s
This made Mr. Edward Finkelstein, Macy’s former CEO President frustrated
Mr. Finkelstein had another theory with another idea
Counter attack being that Mr. Finkelstein had someone spy on Gimbel’s to see what they were planning
Ready, aim and observe

Gimbel’s had their plan so sophisticated and complex that Macy’s own couldn’t figure out, but presented only a portion the best they could
The Gimbel’s plan didn’t come out the way Macy’s encountered
Macy’s loss on that score
Later that morning at precisely 10:00 am, Mr. Finkelstein had email sent to everyone at Macy’s that we are not to discuss any Macy’s business with Gimbel’s
Miracle defeat in devastation of disappointment
Nonetheless, miracle seen through both companies of Macy’s and Gimbel’s
My yesteryear back
I worked in Mr. Edward Finkelstein’s Executive Office at one time assisting Veronica, Mr. Finkelstein’s Secretary in various Typing projects
I took a Typing test at Macy’s and tested at 95 words per minute with only made on error
Because of that, I was asked from time to time to assist in his office
M. Edward Finkelstein is deceased

SHOPPING BAGS OF LAUGHS

Walking down the street of NYC Madison Avenue
You have no idea in what I went through
I won’t even give you a clue
Heading towards LIRR, Long Island Railroad Grand Central Station
Suddenly caught off guard
All three bags came to a rip
It’s a wonder I didn’t slip
My merchandise went flying to the ground
Light to slimming darkness skies was coming
Oh no being my sound
It was a Believe it or not moment
But on the other hand, maybe America’s Funniest Videos situation
None the less, I was in a circumstance
Laughs were on me
For everybody to see
Those shopping bags were a joke
I was the victim in poke
People passed by me with no help
Luckily, I was near my Buddy’s shop, who is a Manager at a Men’s Store
He helped me out and I was able to move about
That day, I will never forget
The rips being my regret
My thought, why me?
What was suppose too be a holiday adventure
I became the venture
Rips with fails
This ends my story tail.

JOLLY GREEN GIANT VIBE
preservationman Nov 2023
Standing high and tall
Giant of all
Combing vast farm lands
Nutrition and health being the key
String beans in keeping one lean
Corn like no other
Spinach and Broccoli being another
Eating right
Sometimes very light
Dinner wouldn’t be complete without the Jolly Green Giant
A brand name like a client
Doesn’t matter if from the can or bag
Vegetables grand
Eating fan
Sit and eat
What could be beat?
Healthy treat
Just eat

OH
preservationman Nov 2023
OH
Oh above
Hope for peace
Enterprising skies
Looking for a blessing
Clouds that gather
Embrace with understanding
Blue skies
Show me my beauty within
Mountain Tops
Guide me to climb to new heights with strong determination
Fresh Pines
Senses of fragrances in goodness
Fresh Flowers and Trees
Color coordination
Heaven Above
Teach me and embrace fulfillment
All in All
The all I am and could be
Lord’s reflection for all to see
preservationman Nov 2023
Full of warmth
Reflections back
Holidays contribute to that
Feel the holiday flavor
Ingredient added Joy and Happiness to savor
The thought of Lumber jacks
Paul Bunyan being just that
Fireplace center red and black bricks
A wish for snow
Night stars that shine
Holiday preparation
Fireplace jacket delight
The holiday season taking flight

ALONE AND BLESSED
preservationman Nov 2023
My current life
A Mother who didn’t care
Inspired individual accord
Guided daily by the Lord
I stand on God’s promise
A Mother not honest
Unassured of herself
Marked me for Death
Heaven said, “You have time left”
Storms filtered
Loss in my own valley aiming for the top
It was a hard climb mountain with no stop
Endurance gave me strength
Aim became a determined reach
The experience was a teach
Inspired ready
Focused steady
No Mother can ever wonder
Teachings came yonder
Tomorrow became today in every way
Truly blessed
People will always have a say
I am ok
I am at where I belong
True friend always at the end
Goodness being the blend
I know I can
Living is a transcend
Inspired life
Cherished voices
Echoes of don’t worry
Breathe in your aspirations
Your footsteps will be carrying you
Every pursuit an adventure
Reflections like a everlasting picture
Never alone, but always blessed

BLACKNESS
preservationman Nov 2023
Journey into the unseen
Pitch black unknown
A feel around
A slow down
No face
Caution movement
Black hole effect
Indescribable
Unable
Totally dark
Step back
Surrounded
Forced circumstance
Situation
Blackness with a lack
Can’t keep track
Squeeze play
Simply fact

BLANK PAGES
preservationman Nov 2023
A magazine no longer read
No reason to proceed
Silenced words
Sentences serve no purpose
Ceasing decisions
Vintage with a past
Long lasting with a last
Years full of Bodybuilding information
Spoken Bodybuilding words representation
Fitness health
Like nobody else
Muscular Development at its best
Dark side confession
Education lesson
Mighty turned weak
Stories no longer peep
Words told no longer bold
Silenced forever
Blew out into the wind
Technique
Retreat
Muscular Development magazine through the years
Ending of a preserver
Thanks for the moment of flex
Now blank pages
Written for all ages
History set the fitness course
A magazine no longer the force
Closing thought, “Exercise with caution, and focus on transformation, and visualize results”

GREYHOUND BUS TURKEY CHOIR
preservationman Nov 2023
We have a reason to sing
We are doing our thing
Turkey dash
Oven free
We are traveling carefree
How noble and superior
We don’t have inferior
Turkey’s everywhere asked Greyhound to help them escape
We are not moving like an ape
Destinations doesn’t matter
We have cut down all the chatter
Away from any knife and fork
Dinner tables try eating pork
This is a Turkey getaway
That Ax is not coming nowhere near our way
The Greyhound bus is forever our friend
From beginning to end
Greyhound Bus Turkey wheels in keep on rolling
Passing dinner tables by
Our distances are far
We don’t need a car
Turkey eating a turnoff
Sunrise to Sunset
Turkeys are saying, “We have pushed away in a determined getaway”
We will not be considered Turkey Day
We don’t care what anybody says
Turkey out

TESTAMONY PROCEED
preservationman Nov 2023
A miracle in my life
Being the miracle
God’s advice
Doctor’s words
Death would be upon
Living among
Health issues in the beginning
The Lord with the winning
Doubt in Doctor’s eyes
Blessing being the surprise
The turnaround
7 unlucky number
Finale was supposed to be everlasting slumber
The Lord added fulfilling numbers in accelerating
My Spiritual Grandmother prayed
She did it without delay
I was the relay
The Lord prophesized with everything on target as stated
Intervention promised
I am still here today
God’s way
What do I say, “HALLELUJAH”

GREYHOUND BUS FABLE
preservationman Nov 2023
Bus company with a stretch
No catch
North to South
East to West
Highways and back roads know us best
Day and Night
Even when weather is frightful and delightful
Bringing families together
The Greyhound bus name like no other
Only a Greyhound bus would know
It’s the scenery we show
Destination to destination
Depart with an arrival
Turning wheels with a spin
Acceleration throughout
Our service to prove
Our buses that ride smooth
From the USA to Mexico
Known throughout the world
Go with the flow
Greyhound bus with a glow
Greyhound and passengers say so.

HOLIDAY BILLS FRENZY
preservationman Nov 2023
Responsibility to fill
Credit Card Debt
The New Year bringing the effect
Many gifts that will be brought
Buy with no thought
Prices that will be high
Don’t even wonder why
Transactions one by one on the rise
Retail and many other shops to emphasize
Along with holiday cheer followed by fear
Payments will be due
Pursuit in getting through
You can’t split the bill
That is not a pursue
Debt Debt Debt
Not a sure bet
Here we go again
When will one be out of debt, no one can say when
