A Greyhound bus cruising on Highway 101
The open road with an endless done
The Colorado Hills
They are reminding me of movie stills
The Greyhound bus wheels rolling at 55
All the Rocky Mountain peaks have their own strive
I am reclining in my leather seats
Listening to my music that can’t be beat
The bus pictures windows adding flavor as a treat
Our journey has spanned from Denver to Phoenix
Our Greyhound bus climbing hills than any bird that could fly
It’s the hound with endurance giving every try
Yet the Greyhound bus showed me my Rocky Mountain high
The night headlight flashes on and off
The Greyhound bus greeting other drivers as they pass by
America just waves and the hound knows how to behave
The Rocky Mountains as they stand tall and *****
They seem to move as the Greyhound bus wheel’s seem too soothe
Our Greyhound bus pulls into the terminal stead
A journey of 3 days and I could use a bed
The picture being the traveller in the ride
My disembark that was adventurous and included a life of continuous stride.

LOGICALLY UNDERSTANDING
preservationman Apr 2016
The distinction between value and common sense
A commodity of defined thinking
The concept of separating concept with knowing how to adapt
So far, understanding has been established through Value,
Concept, Adapt and Defined Thinking
Value being intellect in what you perceive and dignity from within
It can be a negative or positive, but understanding in what is false or perhaps true
However, analytical thinking must come through
Concept and Adapt is to fulfill the understanding in connection to being logical or obvious
Common Sense is a decree that was created being one of the top senses, which is in all of us
Having that vital sense is a must
Understanding wouldn’t have any meaning without the formula with common sense combined
Well understanding says it all in the establishment of thinking and analyzing
Determining is for you to decide
It is that connection with your mind in what you actually see as a statement of point or a more precise theory
Understanding is about logically correct, possibilities, but must be a fact using common sense.

ONCE UPON A STARE
preservationman Apr 2016
It was a moment of darkness
Light beyond reach
Yet a voice with inspiration too preach
All I could do was stare at the night
Since there wasn’t anything too view in sight
I just sat and bared my plight
It happened all of a sudden
The city was blacked out community by community
But it became a unity shattered by darkness
The stare became how much can one bare
But there was plenty of time too spare
Yet the uncertainness of darkness became a tone of beware
This was something I wanted too share
Darkness from when, and later light came at the end.

GOD’S PRESENCE WITHIN
preservationman Oct 2015
Many scripture passages have set the tones
Yet Isaiah 57:5, Acts 17:28, Psalm 139:7 and Exodus 33:14 are letting it be known
Jesus presence is felt everywhere
It is something beyond compare
You just have to understand from where
Jesus spirit can be felt from where anybody can be
This is something for the unbeliever to explore and see
Jesus moves all around us
Yet unbelievers often wonder what is all the fess
Blessing, praise, Holy Spirit and preaching’s
But what the unbeliever doesn’t understand, it is preaching being the many teachings
The unbeliever will convert to untrusting world
But won’t let Jesus move within being blessings that swirl
The unbeliever thinks sins is where it is at
But Jesus refers to the bible and we must look back
Sin is a way of death
It’s the desire to change
It’s the Holy Spirit that will rearrange
You must be “BORN AGAIN”
A new enriched beginning until the end
A new Christian from being an unbeliever living from when
The walk with Jesus with a journey that will begin
Jesus doesn’t want anyone to remain in sin
The unbeliever will be living short time on thin
Jesus is definitely the way
There are no further words that I need to say
My encouraging words to you, “God please have your own way”
Jesus automatic response being ok
I pray unto you
It is all praises that’s due.

MYSTERY NO DOUBT

While you are having lunch
Observe carefully as you munch
A test of mystery challenging your mind will take place
Who is the Murderer will be the trace
Suddenly the lights went out
Commotion expelling into shout
A man was murdered with a knife, and someone knows why
One by one the guest was analyzing clues
But was this just another sleuth?
Police were summoned immediately into the dining room
Is the Murderer still in the room?
It will be revealed soon
Unknowingly to the guest earlier there was an argument between Mr. George Smith the man murdered, and Mr. John Mussel
They were actually lovers
But was there an alibi?
Now it is for you to guess the reason why
You see Mr. Smith had just got an inheritance worth a fortune
He was not going to share with Mr. Mussel
So in a rage of jealousy, Mr. Mussel poked the knife into the heart of Mr. Smith
But there were bloodstains on the knife that wasn’t cleaned off
That was pure clear evidence
However, there were bloodstains on one of Mr. Mussel’s hands
When questioned, Mr. Mussels said he cut himself
But there weren’t any wounds found
It was established, Mr. Mussels was the murderer and he would be charged
Mystery solved
Thanks for being involved
Mystery becoming history
But watch your back, as you could be next in misery.

The werewolves in how it relates
Transformation from Human to Beast
A night for Flesh being the feast
The Werewolves hungers and would even **** a Priest
A craving for flesh and blood
The event could even be a forest with dirt and mud
Yet the Werewolves who smells humans near by
It’s the perils of echoing outcry with screams in try
The acceleration in quickness by
However, it’s the fangs and claws that dig in
Humans become a Werewolf’s sacrifice that begin
The night where darkness doesn’t seem to end
Screams upon screams during now and then
It’s the movement of a Werewolf’s stride
But a Werewolf knows where Humans hide
Nothing can stop the Werewolf but a silver bullet
There’s never no time to respond nor yond
Beware of the Full Moon, and eyes direct on target, the Werewolf could be very close and in your face
Your life will become nonexistence as an erase.

Enriched learning as only a true Teacher can do
Divine understanding is what the student will pursue
Various subjects that will open any student mind
Textbooks of course that will be combined
Who says learning can’t be on the road
A lesson plan is always in demand
Goodness and prosperity
A Traveling Teacher is going to make this a reality
The blackboard being in no secrete place
A time for learning with no time to waste
The blackboard that can be anywhere
But it is true English, Math and Science that Cross Country Teachers who want to share
A learning experience that will be fun
It’s about becoming a commodity and achieving among
A Teacher’s plan their very own
But this is something no one has ever known
Yet a Teacher with an initiative in letting it be shown
This is an idea I am sure will be full blown
Imagine, students actually being educated
Subjects I mentioned being previously indicated
Striving with tons of knowledge
True understanding with a thirst to go
Yet only the student will be the one in the know
It’s knowledge for all and education that calls.

Men might be on a prowl

Every Snow Man would be her command
Creativity being her demand
The Snow ******* brings life to the yard
Maybe she might need a guard

preservationman May 2016
All kinds of military ship anchors have been pulled up
Naval ships slowly pulling away from New York Shores
Many New Yorkers in celebration of Memorial Day were able to board various naval ships and explore
An adventure for sure
But reality has become a mission
Conflict undone
Battles are still among
Ship engines push on
Be victorious will be long
All Soldiers say goodbye mate
Thank you for your support in being our date
We must depart to give freedom and maintain honor
The Flag hangs forward in giving us courage to push on
Thanks for all the salutes
As our naval vessel moves swiftly through the waves
Our direction is destiny and dignity
A war can come at any given moment
There will be destruction and lives loss
But together as troops, we make a force
No boundaries will ever separate
But ammunition in how they will relate
We are slowly drifting into open seas
New York City being a distance back
We will be ready at any given moment to attack
To the enemy, what do you think of that?
The seas leading us in the direction into troubled waters
The mission be prepared
As our naval ship bids farewell
We leave you with a quote to tell
“The naval uniform to all we protect, and our stance in how we project”.

My movement being the defense
It was years of suppression that was past tense
My voice needed to ring out like the timing of the clock
Through it all, given names as a mock
I shouted loud and my voice became more of a woodmen’s ax
My thoughts might have seemed perplexed
I wanted to make sure there was no neglect
I stand for what I feel
Civil Rights is definitely for real
My voice speaks when it is my signal to begin
My direct approach until the very end
My hands raised up being the powers in uniting the world
The plan is too bring all races together as a total swirl
Bring spirits of inspiration
Desires but exempting temptations
Turning words into more than just parables
Seeing what society has done wrong
This is something that had lasted for so long
However through it all, I taught myself too be strong
But the agenda is for all of us too get along
Yet with God’s help, a chapter that will fit the pages of life where everything belongs.

He had no shoes to wear on his feet
His walks were through the months of poverty mounting to defeat
Some public mockery in passing in having no respect treat
A man who was once a working society
The economy reversed placing him in his current reality
No fault of the poor lonely soul
But there is sunrise with look and behold
A Good Samaritan had shows that never had been worn
A kind heart knew where those shoes belonged
It wasn’t long before the homeless man put the shoes on
Walking around in his bare feet seemed ever so long
But the lonely homeless man was appreciative and moved on.

HATRED, THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
preservationman Mar 2021
Caution, Alert and Look Out
Hatred seems to be moving in multitudes about
Hatred definitely needs a rebound
Respect in values and morals having a sound
Race should not be a discipline
At the same level, it shouldn’t be a resent
All Races were put on this Good Earth for a reason and purpose
It wasn’t meant for Hatred to surface
Blacks know all about Racism

But now Asian’s are being attacked
It seems Hatred is running like a pack
No Race is better than the other
All Races were created to come together

A mirror only sees the outer image
But change of the mind comes from inner thought
Because one of different descent and language doesn’t give anyone to the authority to bully and ****
This certainly is not in God’s will
God knew what he was doing when we all were created
It goes beyond the Mother’s wound
It is about “Fellowship”

I can’t emphasize “Change” more
People of the world who Hate don’t understand, we have a world to appreciate
It is about associate
The mission is to rearrange hate and reconstruct the mind in love
Hatred comes from the mind
But the world sees shade of difference in being blind and unkind
Open your eyes in what you don’t want to or refuse too see
But embrace in everything of respect that should be

I pray for a Hatred world to understand
We are living on this Earth being God’s land
It is his creed being his demand
If you hate people of any Race then you hate the Heavenly Thee
But no one can attack the Holy One, because the Lord is all Powerful, and this Earth could be out done
Change what’s in the Heart, Spirit and Soul is what needs to take place
Hatred should be erased
It is just that simple
We can continue to talk about Hatred, but unless change becomes the element, Hatred will continue beyond its means
The more we talk about Hatred, and nothing changes, things will remain the same
Change into Unity
Hatred forms in every city
But delete Hatred, and come together as one being witty

The chapters with the scene in the South
Civil rights outcry contesting with the mouth
Fighting for racial boundaries
Foes wanted to take away
But a man so mighty, but continuing struggles not on this day
Medgar Evers being an educated man, but education entitled in being anyone’s right
But there was no time to sit and just be polite
Medgar Evers being a man that saw Justice in not being right
Yet deep in Medgar Evers heart, he saw struggles in equality being a plight
Eyes of the world looked on
Opposition within negative felt equality didn’t belong
There was a sense in the air that separation needed to be in place
But Medgar Evers was determined it would be erased
But this rattled Medgar Evers mind
Why was hatred so sublime in racism being blocked like window blinds
Even after Medgar Evers was assassinated
Investigations upon investigations were never really complete
Justice in answered continued chapters was full of deceit
There were very questionable statements
But all kinds of thoughts that continued to go on
However no credible sources precise
But there was a break in the case
In between sentences being an absolute cover up waste
The novel shed lights into delights
Plights open with a new spotlight
Evidence that was definitely overlooked
Someone was adding the facts in aiding the crooks
Medgar Evers being a man that shouted out to the world
But it caught the attention of the media, as facts were looked into further with surprising results
But the aftermath of the novel made foes and righteous hearts swirl
Medgar Evers motto, “Stand up for what’s right, but never settle for wrongful acts”.

We were at a General Assembly with a headset and Interpreter who spoke
As a kid, we learned that the UN was a serious business and no joke

It was becoming more like personal country abuse
Countries upon countries telling each other off
You could say defining with no meaning

Because we were 12 years old, Security demanded that we take off the headsets immediately

His last name Strong describes him perfectly
Strength in his own right
Strong and Might
Gorilla Strong started on his journey as a Weightlifter
He would lift weights beyond expectations
In fact, when he lifts weights at the gym where he trains appropriately called “INTENSITY BEYOND”
Every weight he lifts sounding like an Earthquake around him with shakes and vibrations
It surrounds Mr. Strong’s training formation
His body parts seem to muscle flex without Mr. Strong doing a flex
Mr. Strong has received numerous Weightlifting awards and top honors in sportsmanship

You are probably scratching your head in wondering who is this Gorilla Strong is a person who I made up in my head
However, it would be surprising if Gorilla Strong really existed
So where did the first name of Gorilla originate?
It wasn’t from the ridges of Africa nor a descendant from King Kong
It describes Mr. Strong’s strength capabilities and Gorilla built structure
But there is another side of Gorilla Strong
He became a competitive Bodybuilder
How does one go from Weightlifting to Bodybuilding?
Easy answer, Train, Eat, Preparation and Transformation
Mr. Strong competed in Bodybuilding Contest in winning the Mr. Sensational Title
Because Mr. Gorilla Strong is unique and was wonder and instilled competitive
No imagination or dream, but fierce competition in what bodybuilding could become
The stage was set and when Gorilla Strong stepped on the Posing Dais or some would call the podium along with the other competitors, there was no comparison as to who would win the bodybuilding show
Mr. Strong was vascular, constructed, muscle pumps and showed promise and plenty of detail
It was because of his Weightlifting days that paved the way for Bodybuilding
Even when Mr. Gorilla Strong shook one’s hand, it was like shaking hands with a vice
He was just that strong
After all, one’s last name of strong is nothing to ignore
Think on crush and ouch
Some might think that Mr. Gorilla Strong might be too strong
Just saying, what if Mr. Strong was arrested, and was put into handcuffs, do think they would hold being his strength?
It might be considered a strongman act
Gorilla Strong being a man of excellence
Essence at its best
Powerful with might

A HEART I THOUGHT I KNEW
preservationman Oct 2015
Eyes into mine
Yet kissing lips not sure
We dated for a while
But seemed love had no style
I wondered then and it continues even now
But my thoughts were when and how
We fell into love
But was it everything to think of?
Passion had no romance
The kiss showed no advance
A caution with no chance
Beauty I thought
Relationship in what I had sought
My heart beats but only for that longing moment
My nerves began to rattle
I felt I was going into battle
A time piece with signals to move on
You are not the one I long
My heart inserts find the true love to whom you belong.

It was my life in a traveling new horizon depart
My life was going to be a new fresh start
That Greyhound bus 184 with a destination Chicago at 12:00 pm from New York City
A city I grew up and call a pity
I leave all my worries and care behind
I am sitting back in my Greyhound bus reclining seat
As the bus is maneuvering, my mind is thinking on defeat
As my Greyhound bus is swiftly moving over the highway
I am seeing highway signs that are saying, “Destined”, “Move Forward”, “Exploration”, “Don’t give into Defeat” and “Success is your Greyhound Bus”
However, my Greyhound bus was making a Rest stop at “Forever Young”
I am young at heart, and tomorrow a new chapter being a new beginning
I must remain focused in establishing more innings
Well my Greyhound bus pushed on and the night had finally arrived
It was off with the nightlight and a good night’s sleep
The Moon was shining bright and it seemed to bring me closer to my destination being ever so right
I am dreaming from once I came, but thinking about my new life being the aim
I am definitely Windy City bound
Arrival precisely on time at 9:00 am
Chicago where my life will begin
My travel finished and my story at end.

A visit too a known Art gallery
There was a very well tone and created canvas masterpiece
The color set the tones
The painting had all the features shown
The theme of the painting was a “Mother and a child”
The Artist captured the exact moment of Mother and child’s eyes glazing into one another
However this painting was not like any other
There seemed to be love in that painting
Suddenly by surprise, the picture became a solid human fixture when the image literally came out
To the viewer, it was an awakening being a big shout
The Mother told the viewer in what it was like to be a parent
Then showed her daughter in making the introduction apparent
Being a parent means taking responsibility seriously in being more than just know
It’s the appreciation of love in the child in letting it show
Then it was enough of the live talk
The Mother and child stepped back into the image masterpiece
A lesson taught more than just art, but information to the viewer being released
A masterpiece with lots to show
Providing information into more than art putting lookers in the know.

WRITING INSTINCT DIRECT
preservationman Feb 2018
As I walk through the streets, it’s words that follow me
Observations that surround me give me inspiration
It’s when situations occur
The accounts being what they were
The sentences being my banner
The open word with the open heart extending to the reader to enter
But let me continue to journey on
I am alert and fresh and out of my yond
If I see adventure I will write
It will be in plain sight
My words can be the movement of the present, past and expectancy of the future
There might be times my words paint a picture
I was born to write
I am inspired having enthusiasm with excite
Writing blocks rarely occur
I write with ideas that quickly pop into my head
I will even write while I am still in bed
My writing can be a motivation tool encouraging others in being their own writing presentation
It comes by ideas having illustration
Now that I had to mention
Communicating to the world is my chapter
Readership that comes after
I am a good writer
People tell me that
I have a following and a track
I am not trying to give myself praise
My writing talent comes from God and what you read is his amaze
So now you should be ready to write
Turn on your computer and think on the writing content
Within seconds your writing will start being Heaven sent
I hope in some way I have inspired you
Perhaps writing will be a career you will want to pursue.

OH FREEDOM
preservationman Feb 2015
My life living as a slave
The powers simply want a servant too behave
But I have been praying to Heaven that one day I will be free
Yet it is Heaven that has truly inspired me
The name freedom being me in Jesus name
It is his understanding that keeps me tame
Oh freedom the whips that knocked me too the ground
My loud shouts of praise being my sound
Yet these shackles have me bound
Struggles I shall overcome
It’s salvation and everyone needs some
My power of faith is all I have left
Slavery is not a lifetime
It’s the Holy Spirit that carries me over
It’s Jesus that constantly providing the cover
Oh Freedom Oh Freedom
My years in being obedient in Jesus name
Deep in my heart I cannot blame
This was a testing faith moment
Believing that Jesus would be my freedom
The loosening of chains and what struggles won’t remain
I received wisdom coming from the kingdom
I have seen my struggles
It was more than a conflict
It was boundary from keeping me apart from my Lord
There was one mightier than I
There are no questions of why
As God and I see eye to eye
Oh Freedom for liberty for me to see
One day my rejoicing in Heaven with thee
Oh Freedom with the Holy Spirit
Salvation is the asking being God’s merit
Praise upon praise
Miracles upon miracles
I am the living example
I am a chosen child being ample
Oh Freedom that took awhile, but overcome being Jesus style.

SINGING STORY POLYESTER

Actual singing words from the heart
The wonder of establishing courage
A feeling needing to nourish
The experience to explore
It was a moment in life extended to soar
Singing to captivate in explore
Wanting to share singing talent being a God given right
I am humble and polite
Now the stars tonight are my spot light
They sparkle with delight
Singing hope being magical
The stars danced with every singing note
The stars seemed to float
The Moon had a smile
It was the alto singing while
Singing with joy and appeal
The whole experience was for real
Lockdown with a moment of a short out
This is about inspiration to come about
It doesn’t have to be a bout
Singing creativity is the activity
The craft to suing being no eternity
Yet singing full force became the reality

BIG RED ON THE MANTLE
preservationman Jul 2015
I brought a ** Big Red Eagle Trailways bus
I had to add it to my collection being a must
My Big Red bus seemed out of place
Yet I would never ever replace
My bus collection seemed to say, “Big Red what are you doing here?”
For me Big Red was a welcomed opportunity
Needless to say, “Big Red felt right at home”
I was determined Big Red doesn’t need to roam
Big Red being a name of the past
But it is in my memory to last
Even thought Greyhound merged and is large with charge
Big Red has a history and to fellow bus enthusiast it is our marv
There is no problem that needs to be resolved
Just Big Red in highways gone by
Tears in not seeing Big Red in its cruising try
Big Red that everybody knew
But it was that name “Trailways” being its slew
The familiar Eagle that would soar the highway land sky
Destination being American towns and cities perhaps a Trailways Terminal near you
Big Red you achieved what America forgot
In my heart I will not
Thanks Big Red for the history and the ride
You are now in the hands of the Greyhound stride.

TOMORROW’S ELEVATION
preservationman Jun 2016
The world is changing
Right before my eyes I see a rearranging
Tomorrow has a shade of black
Woes in oh no
Foes moving in letting it be so
Life has moved into its own chapter
I see a moon with no shine
Twinkled stars with lights out
A sun in blood red in rage
The impact has the Earth on edge
Suicides that will collide
No inspiration nor stride
Where’s that tomorrow I was promised?
But we must be completely honest

Justification is only a word
An accuse in wanting to be heard
Tomorrow is steadily fading
The meltdown has begun
It’s the countdown that has won
I can no longer sustain
It’s a stain with resido
Tomorrow is not a new day
It passed me nonstop in every way
The skies have made it clear
Tomorrow come back, come back
My own tears can’t even keep track
Tomorrow has gone to never appear
It’s total darkness that is near
Tomorrow ended on the spot
Tomorrow no more with never lived.

I AM AN DRUG ADDICT
preservationman Mar 2016
An addiction with affliction
I have a craving to which I have no control
I am a ****** addict I have been told
It seems why I am an addict I have no clue
I don’t care about the world or the people
It’s just that simple
I rather steal to maintain my habit
That’s all too it
Society made me who I am
My drug abuse was meant to be
I am in the open for all to see
If Death were to come I wouldn’t know
My attitude on that is so
My habit is my own business
I am committed and I am the witness
It’s risk I take
It’s my decision I make
One sniff is never done
If you are looking for the Addict, I am that one.

The sunrise shows your beauty each and every day
The message is appreciation in every way
Your mountains in think high
Your cities skyscrapers in think success
The landscapes in general in being an enterprise
The American flag that waves in being symbolic with Honor, Pride and Dignity
But we must reflect and give thanks to our Legend Forefather in striving in making America a reality
Yet America wouldn’t even exist, if it hadn’t been for our Heavenly Father
Throughout America’s history, but there was confusions, but understanding where knowledge came together as one entity
Yet struggles in conflict in battles and Civil Rights taking a turn
But as an American, just what did we learn?
Freedom doesn’t come cheap
This is what I hold close with my soul to keep
The Statue Of Liberty standing tall offering arriving citizens of new hope
She stands in helping one another to cope
Together as American’s we stand
We are America, and stretches throughout the land
My country tis of Thee
This involves you and me
America, and we are all of part of it
We got in touch with one another like no other
I am proud to say, but this can come on any given day
Happy Birthday America
You became America while others said you wouldn’t
Negativity was trying to block with a shouldn’t
But Washington, DC spoke and the message was couldn’t
Yet America, you pushed your way
You are here to stay
God bless America
From my heart to yours
Happy Birthday on July 4th
Your creed has always been our destiny
Our moment being the very hour
You are our America’s eyes, and offer wonders beyond having a surprise
City after City celebrating the birth of a nation
I salute you America
Let the music play
It’s harmony being the relay
America stands, and we are all the Caravan
Let us applaud
But give thanks to our Lord
Embrace in love in America’s history, and tell your stories in how your possibilities became mysteries
Embrace and take your place
America is now and forever more.

The dazzle in lights
A Broadway moment full of entertainment being a sight
Dance numbers to get the audience and TV Viewers in the mood
Dramatics that catch you off guard, but know how to soothe
The Tony Awards has everything to prove
It’s a talent night being on the move
Hand me my Tony Award
But the Tony Awards on Sunday will be a night
For me, my Great Uncle Eubie Blake who composed the music for “SHUFFLE ALONG” is up for a Tony
However, I promise I won’t be long
SHUFFLE ALONG has hit Broadway numerous times, but it was and still is pure acting and dancing that has kept the shuffle in being no rush
But a time in not being silent in a hush
I see in the background plenty of kissing and lots of mush
The cast simply said, “Lets take our time and let the music take us back as we move laid back”
Jazz had a swing and everyone in clubs were doing their thing
Oh Shuffle Along
Jazz with a pizzazz
A wonder being yonder
On June 12, Sunday, watch the Tony Awards on CBS 2
You too will be shuffling along too.

FREEDOM RIDERS VIBE
preservationman Oct 2018
We are thought of as a tribe
But our destiny is written in the destination scribe
A Greyhound Bus led the Freedom Way
Racial discrimination and separation was not ok
There was a fight for change on that day
Freedom is a given right
They didn’t captivate being polite
They certainly didn’t just sit tight
Where there was darkness, there was a guiding light
Freedom Riders had a demand
It was going too be Justice throughout the land
It’s Equality for all being the caravan
The Freedom Riders voices were a definite shout
It’s was for the Nation’s Capitol to work Discrimination out
The mission didn’t revolve around the Black race, but togetherness for all races
Freedom Riders History was centered with a purpose having a trace
They were against all odds that couldn’t be erased
But was a task of face too face
Opposition wasn’t going to stop no matter what
It was the 1960 being a year having no defeat
The Freedom Riders were determined they weren’t going to retreat
They were going to speak out and be heard
They were animals flocking like a herd
Freedcm being the Freedom Riders first name
Then last name in a determined Victory
Then came the end of the story.

It was St. George, South Carolina being the town
A miles walk to the country store
Blisters on my feet while my shoes relished in defeat
The blisters being my experience sore
A dirt road with all its galore
A farming town
A small house that centered being bound
A town with its own scenery ground
I worked on the farm in the very high hot sun
It wasn’t until sunset when we were done
Experience requiring endurance
A learning phase of influence
The farm animals to care
The grown food in prosperity to share
The true meaning of Deep South
An experience no northern major city can even mouth
It was the Hound bus that got me around
Homeward being New York City bound and arriving safe and sound
Farming I will never forget
Seeing a town in South Carolina leaving no regrets
It’s more of reflect and a lesson far more than elect.

A SOLIDERS HONOR

Stand at attention and salute
War veterans and current in toot
Eyes of sacrifice
Being a solider with no time to think twice
Washington, DC being the call in advice
Conrad’s who loss their lives
A trumpet sounds being the transcribe
Yet a moment of silence in making us non-veterans wise
A reflection of the front line
A revelation we must keep in mine
Being a solider more than a uniform
A nations call always on alarm
Bombs on targets below
Precision must be quick and not slow
Bull’s eye on various sights
It’s never time to be the enemies polite
Wars being a solider’s name
Territories over boundaries being a solider’s gain
Then there’s destruction and what remains
Strength being in numbers
No time to sit back and slumber
It was the mission at hand
The General who gives the command
Veteran’s Day with many words to say
“We honor you on the world’s behalf and it’s a memory we all want to last”.

CALL ME PINSTRIPE

A slim smooth man
Every step being his command
His fashion statement being high in demand
But his distinction being pinstripe
Pinstripe always dressed fresh like a spring ripe
Assortments had to be just right being black and white or white and red pinstripes
Pinstripe had all the hype
He got his name from dancing at many clubs
A woman’s remembrance to think of
The minute Pinstripe entered any room it was always greetings of what’s up
His shoes were of quality brand
Every inch of Pinstripe and everyone knew he was the man
Pinstripe’s hair was combed with his hair being shown
The tie became a creation and conversation piece of don’t hate just appreciate
Every woman married or single wanted to dance with Pinstripe
Each moving dance step was a woman’s date being met
Pinstripe had that certain swagger
From that first sip of wine
A cigarette just before he would dine
Pinstripe knew how to pass the time
He was the dress code, but never ate alone
It was his personality in having the woman melt like butter
Pinstripe was definitely like no other
He was the mainstream being a name
He was persuasive and had game
But who was going to blame?
Getting attention was the precision at direct aim
The bull’s eye being any woman that had a fishing rod and a net, however, it was Pinstripe being the catch of the day, and being the best bet.

Because I am Salvation, I am one you should know
Many testimonies have been told because of what I showed
My Showers are the flow
The Holy Spirit is a moment to let go
I am Salvation because of the miracles that have been performed
I am Salvation because I instilled Faith

I am the answer to any theory
I am called Salvation because I have another well known name
I am called Jesus and Jehovah
Yet Salvation is something no one should just skip over
I bring defined shelter and cover
Evil can’t stand me for who I am
I am Salvation who puts power in people in establishing can
Many hesitate and try to avoid
But Salvation us under the accordance of our Lord
Many unbelievers feel I am hard to seek
Just be humble and meek
Yes I have been Salvation all along
I want all to have a sense of feeling and a place where they belong
Who says one can’t?
It’s the praises in how you advance
I have a chosen few
But I am Salvation being your clue
One day you must make a choice
You must make a commitment being your voice
Salvation leaves you now to think
I am faster than any wink
Heaven will one day be your date
Refusal will be a torment fate

THE HOUND THAT GETS AROUND

Even though the hound is a dog
Every day across the country, the Greyhound bus knows how to cut through the fog
The Greyhound bus covering the entire United States map
I am dreaming traveling on Greyhound during my nap
It’s cities into towns
Destination ready anywhere bound
The hum of the Greyhound bus engine being the sound
Well, lean back and enjoy the ride
Watch as the oceans hit the shore tides
The Moving Picture Theater being our stride
A wave from a farmer as we pass
Highway to country road and a Greyhound bus stop that came fast
The Mountains that are standing tall
Echoes of travel in all
We are in the middle of nowhere and don’t need to stall
Storm and rain hits the bus windows
Yet the Greyhound bus pushes on regardless of how long
A friendly handshake from a fellow town citizen
It is all in good reason
A Greyhound bus thought to think about, “Stick with us, and you too will have no fuss”
No new kid on the road
That Greyhound bus stretch
The headlights of behold
We are king of the road, but that is what we are told
So that hound bus continues to get around
The Hound having a reason
It doesn’t matter in what season
The fact is, an Icon having the right given name
No need to tame
The Greyhound bus being the world’s aim
Across the country and back
It’s pretty hard to keep track
But all in all, what do you think of that?

A moment that will arise in bed between the sheets
The time of passion with reaction that can’t be beat
A man picks up a woman who was sitting alone at the bar
He saw an opportunity and was going to take advantage and go far
The man slipped a drug in the woman’s drink
Before the woman knew it, she passed out and no time to think
The man carried the woman to his room
It was definitely going to be a moment being soon
The man later loosened up the woman’s clothes
He quickly made his advance
It was an opportunity being chance
Awoken from the on going ******
The woman’s heart pounding from the acceleration of must
Suddenly the woman urged the man to stop
Yet he remained focused by staying on top
The woman screamed for help
But her screams were only an echo being transparent
Yet more force into enforce
The bed started shaking hard again the wall
The noise could be heard all out in the hall
Other guest listened through the wall to explore
But something just wasn’t right
There was a quietness of no sound in sight
The Police were summoned immediately
They knocked on the door, but there was no answer for sure
The Police burse the door open, and found the woman unconscious
The man escaped through a window being obvious
The woman was taken to the hospital for examination
This was a case of ******* being the indication
Precaution, if you are a woman in a bar, don’t lose sight of your drink
The end result, you won’t have time to think nor wink
But the worse scenario, death
Take your drive wherever you move
Watch the man stalker as he is trying to be smooth
Listen and follow your instincts as your chapter could be a final conclude.

A time for friends and family
Remembering the birth of Jesus being an opportunity
The Christmas star with stories that come from a far
Happy Holidays to you and yours
Health and happiness for all to explore.

IT’S A TAKE

I had famous legacies from education and experience which some these achievers can be found in history books
But let’s take a closer look
For starters, it was my time attending CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE, my library Supervisor was Leola Maddox, Wife of Alton Maddox, the famous Lawyer in the Tawana Brawley Case in 1987
Also at CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE, I had the honor and pleasure to have Professor Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widow of Malcolm X and she taught a Health and Wellness class
But I had Dr. Shabazz in the fall term that went fast
Now at the Greyhound Corporation, I had 3 Mentors, but one that was significant and his name was Joe Black, Vice President, but who also was the pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers and who played with Jackie Robinson
I still have the books that Mr. Black gave me in Achieving Worth Receiving
Now back to CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE, June 8, 2017 of the 46th COMMENCEMENT, I had the opportunity to see Medgar Evers Widow, Dr. Myrlie Evers, Daughter and Grandson. I witnessed former Secretary Of State, Hillary Clinton being the keynote speaker
Ken Webb, Formerly of KISS-FM Radio Host lectured at CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE as a Professor along with my Professor Dr. Mary Umolu in Radio Station Operations Production Programming
We move from the College to the Old New York Coliseum that was in Columbus Circle in New York City, and it was the New York Auto Show and this is where I met Jesse Owens, won numerous gold medals in the 1936 Summer Olympics. We talked briefly one on one
At Rockefeller Center, I bumped into Mr. David Rockefeller and we talked for 10 minutes one on one
I also met Ted Turner at CNN CENTER, Atlanta, and he gave us a talk in my tour group
I also shook hands with Cardinal Terrence Cooke on the steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral as they were celebrating the Church’s Centennial
Met Movie Star David Hasselhoff of the Knight-Rider TV Series Fame as we talked directly at Universal Studios, Hollywood, California and also had conversation with KIT, the knight-Rider Car
Miracle on 34th Street I actually lived during the R.H. Macy & Co., Inc. and Gimbels era, but also extends into the TITANIC
I spoke to Arnold Schwarzzenger during his Bodybuilding Competing Days and Superstar Billy Graham of Wrestling
Dr. Hazel Duke of the NAACP New York Chapter preached at my Church
Eubie Blake, Famous Jazz Pianist/Composer is my Great Uncle and who is also in the Smithsonian ***** Museum in Washington, DC
There are a host more, but I leave it right there
Each star personality with qualities beyond compare
Reflection fitting any occasion
History being part of me
I shared because I wanted all to see.
