THE HOUND THAT GETS AROUND
preservationman Jul 2016
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?

Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widom of Malcolm X
I had the honor and pleasure to have Dr. Shabazz as a Health Class Professor at
CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE in Brooklyn, New York
Dr. Shabazz, a name known throughout the world
Determined in all her pursuits
Civil Rights was a commitment alongside her alive husband then Malcolm X
Devotion in spirit in contributing change that followed Dr. Shabazz entire life
Being Black and a woman, but was standing for all women regardless of race
Achiever being a believer
Leader within her own right
Discrimination just made Dr. Shabazz more focused with a Civil Rights mission at hand
Dr. Shabazz wanted to break the chains of stereotypes and accept a person among those being a women
She observed in her eyes in what society was doing to all people of color
Dr. Shabazz educated herself through higher learning and worked within the Health Care Industry as an RN then as she worked became a Tenure Professor at CUNY Medgar Evers College
Because she was part of the Muhammad Faith didn’t make her commitment any easier, but more determined in the change movement of Civil Rights
Her detours were like she was drowning in a sea, but always managed to surface to the top in what Dr. Shabazz was determined to accomplish
Turmoil through the endless fires of her life
Malcolm X heritage was her base of encouragement
It didn’t matter he was deceased, the movement had to be pushed on
Destiny had to be fulfilled
Big step taking
Risk in having strong courage
The world had to understand

In his absence

ONE LEG UP
preservationman Mar 2014
It was a televised talent contest
Even with one leg the young lady still wanted to be her best
It was determination in her efforts of try
She definitely wasn’t going to stand there and cry
It all started when she fell into a large deep hold
The young lady’s leg was stuck underneath
So to get the young lady out
They had to cut in order to move about
Her pain was a big shout
So that was her past
The young lady’s true tomorrow arrived at last
Dance the young lady did
One leg is all she had
But the lady was determined and not mad
She didn’t feel sorry for herself
The young lady wasn’t going to be like anybody else
The lady danced in several positions, and even went down to the floor
The audience applauded in her galore
The Judge’s faced seemed impressed
But this is a talent competition more or less
All the best to the one leg lady
Determination to preserver and with courage too denounce fear.
ONE LEG BODY PART GONE, BUT IS STILL ABLE TO MOVE ALONG

SETTLED DOWN
preservationman May 2016
A look back at the old western days
A time around horse driven carriages in their ways
Stagecoaches that travelled deep in mountain terrains
It was even during storms with heavy rains
Indians attacking over territory
But under the watchful eye of old glory
Here now continues our story
Settlers looking for a place to live
A new life where they could strive
Later tents were temporary put up
As work was being done in building permanent shelter houses
The houses had to be sturdy in all kinds of weather bouts
Stability is what I am talking about
Determination to stay put no matter what
The settlers would not be chased away
Having faith every step of the way
Traveling from place to place was quite difficult especially moving wagons through deep mountains
It was stuff, but the settlers showed they could be rough
Settled west, well that was enough
Survival in settling down, but being stability bound.

DEATH PUT ON HOLD
preservationman Jan 2016
A family driving to Maryland to attend another family members Funeral
The family were driving on the New Jersey Turnpike I-95
It was a three and half hour drive
A tractor trailer truck had just passed the car
The family had left New York City, but weren’t that far
Suddenly without warning, one of the truck’s tires disbursed from the truck trailer’s carriage with a direct hit at the family’s car windshield
You would think an accident becoming the motion
But there was a different notion
The windshield was smashed with cracks, but the driver was able to maneuver the car and gained control
Miraculously it was a sight to behold
The driver was able to pull the car to the side
Yet traffic stopped from a distance, which only God could provide
Later the family continued onto Maryland
Once the family arrived at their destination, the windshield just caved in
But death didn’t become to be an end
It was continue living onto when
This is a true story that was testified in my church
The power of salvation being an enriched birth
It’s God’s mercy saying keep living and welcome to Earth.

CALL ME PINSTRIPE
preservationman Feb 2016
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.

It was a New Jerusalem thought
Inspiration from above in sought
Praise onto high
Heavens to thy
Doctor’s said of a Mother’s life and possible death
The Doctor’s had suggested that there was no other solution left
The Daughter prayed to the Lord
Her testimony just made my heart soar
The Daughter sang with the choir, “Move Mountains”
A dedication to her mother
Her Mother was in the church service providing to Doctors, your expertise of Medical is not superior to the spiritual
But the spiritual is nothing unusual
The Lord simply revealed I want you to continue to give
As I am the Lord thy God that commands you to continue to live
When the part came of “Move Mountains”
Deep inside me became full up with tears of joy in praise
I have a similar testimony that would amaze
Doctor’s don’t have all the answers
The counselor is Christ
He is the one that offers excellent advice
God is the one that can move obstacles
An understanding in seeing how to step over the mountain or going around the mountain
Open your mouth in prayer in asking, “Take the solid barrier away”
Let my spiritual soul be ok
Help me see my own solid rock
Let it be the praise among the flock
Some people will attempt to take as a mock
But it’s my soul of sail and anchored at the dock
I sing all the day long
Praying and praising being where I belong.

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”.

SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND
preservationman Feb 2018
I was told that exact statement when I was growing up
When you are young, you begin to wonder about your life in where it begins and how it should end
The solution usually is the movement establishes in finding the opportunity
But sometimes it may be right in the person’s community
But to seek you must know what you are looking for
Then it becomes later in what you did find
It could very well be an educated attribute of lessons learned
But think also on what Mentors told you all along
However, this is not a subject of select
This is about making the seek and find in having an effect
Seek in knowing what you want out of life
The find being the stability in being focused and seeing the vision
So you see seek and find do work together
They connect in complimenting each other
But along with seek and find add establish
Establish in organizing the purpose with why you are seeking and what do you intend to find
So the seek and find you had been told
Your mission at this point given is to take hold
Having determination and be bold
The seek and find has discovered you
Now it’s time for you to make pace and follow through.

But it is Jesus guiding the President’s hand, however, the President won’t let it be known
Now every task the mission is the nation needs to pray
A lot of things going on in the White House is not ok
The Heavenly voice being the relay
There will be struggles each and every day
Jesus has descended on the White House
The White House needing praise
Executive Orders needing the Heavenly touch
Inspiration is not saying much
Merit being the Holy Spirit
Yet the word for the White House is redemption
The movement for the White House is salvation
The focus being appreciation
Greeting a nation is gratification
But again, Jesus is in the White House
A man that can turn the world around
He doesn’t even have to make a sound
The Heavenly one who wasn’t born America being bound
It was the Middle East being the trace
But Jesus will always be in the White House face to face
The White House can't turn Jesus back
He is the Savior and holds the key to the world track.

I remember a wizardry Fella
As a child I recall the book of Old Yeller
It was those poetry letters starting with T
Then it was the creation all coming from me
A once Homeless man alone on the street
It was his courage being his own mystique
Many words told a marvelous story
One could only imagine as there was plenty of glory
A Homeless man determined to overcome his plight
As the street lamps were his light
He wasn’t taking questions of why
The Homeless man just held up his head being high
Every call to his movement was his action in appreciation
The Homeless man was alive being his own lesson of education being nothing more than pure indication
Yet it took a lot of determined persuasion
A young boy who saved a woman’s life
The young boy was his own advice
A car accident took place
The young boy thought he better keep up the pace
Time was steadily moving
The car was starting to catch on fire
The rescue attempt was full of anguish and desire
The young boy carefully pulled the woman from the car
He moved swiftly so he would be far
Not a moment too soon as the car exploded in doom
The house with only doors
Many intruders who tried to explore
All the dangers that were ignored
Many intruders were loss in the house forever
However what was found in the house was raging mouse
Dangers being a warning
Stories that have their own flow
Details of dialogue being slow
The storybook poetry cellar
Found once upon a time
It was all the words that were combined.

There was a slight delay
The curtain seems to be stuck
But to the audience this sounds like bad luck
The orchestra is ready to play
But the stuck curtain is holding up the performance which is not ok
Now the audience is getting restless
There is a commotion about to be amidst
Someone in the audience made a negative shout
The show must go on and this is what I am talking about
That curtain needs to be immediately fixed
Otherwise, the audience might bring their own mix
Suddenly by surprise, the curtain was risen up

It’s show time and this poem can finally conclude in being the end.

He wrote from his heart like he needed comfort and advice
Eric had met Emily, his long loved romantic friend
Offspring of love that would often begin
It was a friendship at first
Then reversed into a loving outburst
Eric and Emily dated for 5 years
It was romance that seemed to advance
The Full Moon nights were the given chance
But suddenly the love fire had burned out
Emily stated to Eric she was moving on
Yet Eric felt they were getting along
Emily informed Eric, she met another Guy
Eric was full of questions and wanted to know why?
Emily felt Eric was boring and not romantic
Now Eric tried his best
But Emily has a right in her confess
Emily suggested that the other Guy was her true man
When the lights went out, he was at Emily’s demand
Well Eric wrote the way he felt
It was his story in how he dealt
He had nothing to prove
Yet it was his writing as Therapy in helping him soothe
Eric moved on as well
It took real courage in story in tell
Eric’s writing became a good catch
He attracted Susan who became his match
The one word that came back was LOVE
Later, it was writing together ever after.

I knew you were a woman who was classy and had style
It was your smile and personality that captured my heart

Oh the first time we kissed
It was on the dance floor being smooth as the twist
Your figure certainly wasn’t hard to miss
Our love is like a fairytale from a book being very enchanted
Yet very romantic
I am your Prince and you are my Queen
There is nothing in between
As I bend down on one knee
My proposal to you has the oversee of thee
Your sincerity that told me I am your Man
My struggles came my way, but you stood by my side
It was total encouragement from your lips you provided
I want our lives to unite
Let our interlude explode into ignite
The joy when you said yes with your hand into marriage
Our ride being a royal carriage
I feel honored that you will be my wife
Together we inspire each other with support advice
Our wine glasses are lifted up in bliss
It will no longer be mine, but ours
Together all will see
On this day I love you more than ever
Committed we both vow and our lives together that time will allow
I am dressed for that moment
Eyes will stare
Everlasting will be the love that we will share.

A toy store being history in the books
A remembrance only a child will want to look
Wednesday was a sad da7
But thanks FAO SCHWARZ in being a New York City stay
We as New Yorkers are used to disappointments
Living in New York City teaches us how to cope
Every day breath is continued hope

As a specialty store, you made your mark

From the little one who gave a bear a hug and to the adult drinking water from a FAO SCHWARZ mug
The Christmas bells have stopped

I will always cherish my 18 wheeler FAO SCHWARZ truck
My little bear in a FAO SCHWARZ bag being well tucked
Your F in being fun, A in appreciation, O having many options
S being Satisfaction, C in Continuous, H in Hello, W in Well, A in Acceleration, R in Remembrance and Z in Zebra figurines in multitudes
You were more than a story toy as you made it for us to soar
Your winning sales were your score
You didn’t say Good-bye as you stated you didn’t want us to cry

THE WALK WITHIN THE BOOK
preservationman Aug 2017
It’s a giant novel
It’s not a book anyone can hold in their hands
It’s simply a walk in the book, and the visitor observes the sentence lines within the chapters
Being up close and personal
But the visitor might be surprised if they are written about in the book
The method being like Candid Camera, but in this case “Candid Pages”
So you are probably asking how did this come about?
Well a Novelist felt writing a book was something being like a hobby
The theory and technique the Novelist wanted to share
You could say the small novel into a Giant novel being a comparison
One visitor was torn by the thought, but going along got understanding in what they sought
On this particular novel, it seemed the pages came to life
In Chapter 5, a murderer took place, and the visitors actually witnessed as two characters from the novel got into a brawl, and one character was murdered
Now this wasn’t a who dun it, but the dialogue in how the murderer would be captured
The visitors watched as chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 saw the murderer on the run
But because the murderer was running and became short of breath, the murderer would soon be outdone
The Final Chapter being chapter 11 found that he was caught by the authorities
The reason for the ******, the murderer loss a bet
Now how low can you get
Easy as that
Does a Giant Novel get any better?
We will have to wait and see
Until next time.

Being a solider more than a uniform
A nations call always on alarm
Bombs on targets below
Precision must be quick and not slow

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

A dialog being one of many
Perhaps uncanny if any
A story hidden well in my mind
An assortment of some kind
My words that took form
It was like waves hitting the shore during a storm
Maybe something of a norm
The lightening that flashed
The thunder roared sounding like backlash
It was no time to dash
The thought never came up about cash
The Moon was hidden among the clouds
It was what Heaven allowed
God is the superiority side
The methods all must abide
Heaven is a very secrete place
Man thinks it is somewhere in deep space
The storm has passed
The moment being the storm didn’t last
I had to write this coming out of my thaw
A memory on a journey in what I saw
My writing came down to Earth
My encouragement surrounded by a new birth
The clock stopped only for the minute
But my inspiration was a lifetime
A time when I was told to push on
It was the focus of life in where I belong
A write that doesn’t stop
But the theory keeping all at the top
The words were there all along
Destiny calls and the journey will be long.

I don’t want to feel all up tight
Later as the Greyhound bus wheels continue on
I am thinking, home was always where I belonged
I have been traveling for two days long
My anticipation of anxiety feeling like an urn
However over in the distance ever so close, I see the city of Louisville
The highway just opened my heart in being a thrill
The Greyhound bus pulled off the highway onto Louisville Drive, and two blocks away being the Greyhound Terminal as my stride
It has been quite a ride
The Greyhound bus pulled into Gate 8
We arrived On-time and not late
My Father and Mother met me and didn’t hesitate
Louisville I will never forget
I have no regret
I had to come back and give it a shot
I am glad I arrived and no thinking of not.

WHERE DID TIME GO?
preservationman Aug 2021
It seems the years accelerated fast
I remember being young in my thirties
But now I am Seventy
What happened during those years
Aches and pains
Everything else I will let remain
My steps get slower
It's hard exercising going lower
I was always energetic
What a surprise?
The years in wisdom helped me realize
Value what you have, and never take for granted
You live once, and time uncertain
Live it too the fullest
Time waits for no one
Cherish the time you have

Rhinestone’s being unique
The added harmony a sheer treat
Cowboy’s and horses racing by
A sunset that has turned a final sundown being a cry
The question being of why?
It’s Glen Campbell, Country Western Singer who died
Rhinestone Cowboy moving along in the western countryside
The beauty and horizon of the hills
The legend in singing in attention in be still
Glen Campbell a man who loved the west
His country western style singing says it best
Rhinestone Cowboy, Gentle On my Mind and Galveston
Those are only just a few, but there were many more
I actually visited Galveston in Texas
Mr. Campbell’s songs in let me tell you a story
My mind smiled through my pain
My heart is country western and that is what will remain
I have seen the sunrise and the sundown
But Heaven called and this is where I am bound
I have travelled from the East to the west
My every song tells of my life in being a testimony of my confess
Yet Heaven heard my endless plea
It caught the attention of Faith in singing pitch being the total key
Heaven invited Glen Campbell to come up
Your Stardom caught Heaven’s eye
But it wasn’t stardom, but the blessing being Glen Campbell’s joy to sing with expectancy to join thee
The Rhinestone Cowboy will be shining in Heaven among others who have arrived there
Heaven is like no other place compare
Glen Campbell jumped on his horse and galloped to the pearly gates
He knew he couldn’t be late
The gates then opened
Glen Campbell entered
You told the world and your fans this is goodbye, but added, “We shall meet again”.

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.

It was February 2, 2016 being my Birthday as I turned 59 years old
But my story will open in behold
Doctors said I would only live to the age of 7
Well, what do Doctors really know?
It only goes to show
God is truly in the know
But my story doesn’t surround my past history
It surrounds Lois Copeland who died last year at 86 years old
We met at CUNY Medgar Evers College
Lois who was distinguished friend and a Mother always to me
She always took me out for my Birthday every year
It was her friendship and Personality that always helped me to preserver
Lois was always full of surprises
Even though she is deceased, there was no exception in her feast
Last year, I still felt her presence
This year, I still felt her existence
The restaurant came out with a cheesecake with one blowing candle, and the entire restaurant staff sang “Happy Birthday to me”
All I could say, “Lois, you came through again”
This is my story being the end.

HUSHTONE MANOR
preservationman Feb 2015
A party going on with dead souls
The owner of the Manor who died long ago
You are invited to the party so let’s follow the flow
Now remember we are all alive
Just try taking this in your strive
Back in 1896 Christopher Honey was a very wealthy man, and he is the same owner of Hushtone Manor
But there was a creed in Hushtone, “Silent being the lips and harmony being the tone”
But there’s more
The living will be cursed if the creed wasn’t followed
The citizens be came outspoken and hollow
They became a shadow among themselves
So eternity becoming death among anyone’s breath
There souls were all they had left
So Christopher Honey and the undeserving celebrated in walking anguish among the living flesh
This was the colonial way in their confess
But was it more like a contest
The name Hushtone Manor, the place of dead flesh and living souls with plenty of beholds
The gates of Hushtone Manor
A welcome if you come in
Perhaps a different life that positively could begin
The moon has turned black and the lightening has flashed
No time to run or swiftly dash
The moment has arrived and all you have is understanding in an uncertain strive.

preservationman Jan 2016
Constant news stories beyond compare
There were births that parents wanted to share
Danger and caution became words of beware
Yet many disasters that took place
2015 was a year no one will ever erase
it was also a year of wars
there were also wounds with scars
the thought of isis would control territories ever so far
However 2015 was a year of murders with hit and runs
This all happened from beginning to end, and we’re still not done
Terrorist threats that took place here and there and probably everywhere
2015 was a year in being hard to be fair
justice seemed like it was a term, but not having any latitude and solitude
it was a search, but no bearing found
yet the multitudes of voices being injustice sounds
various politicians got into some inappropriate involvement, and will have to serve jail time
my term, “Washington questioned, but has trembled down”
all one has too do is follow the flow
2015 was also a blessing to us all, some were able to overcome and some were crumbled to lives being none
speaking of politics, “The question is who will be able to stand in the president’s seat come 2016
but the politicians running are getting mean
it’s a round up of who is actually lean?
Well there’s the rundown of 2015
A new year 2016 to think about
Be honest and trustworthy
Moving forward from 2015 into 2016
A new hope with a promising tomorrow
2015 of sorrow with 2016 being caring heart having morrow
2015 nothing more than a year we all lived through
it was a mission impossible that we had to pursue
but heaven is how we truly got through
2016 resolution, “put Christ first, and you will see how your life will suddenly reverse”.

THE POETRY WORDS HAT
preservationman May 2016
Not a pull a rabbit out of the hat
Beyond the spelling word of cat
Put your hat on your head
Let it be your motivating stead
Don’t let it be defeat within a bout
Certainly think your thoughts completely out
Write on with your concept in place
**** down things on your mind so it doesn’t erase
Write clearly what you feel coming straight from the heart
No it’s not a tum’s moment
Visualize right from the start
Become your own writing mad hatter of poetry
Your thoughts having a magical twist with the inspiration coming from a hat
Your mind idea in being its own amaze at that
Then look at where your words arrived at
Destination being the arrival of the sentence, and the period making the writing complete.

Black History Month is where we salute our Afro-American Pioneers
Their sheer talent helps us every day to preserver
Their struggles in showing us how to overcome
They laid down the plan in how it is done
Their influence giving us endurance
Achieve knowledge in putting education first
Negativity speak out with an outburst
Presenting their pride and making it their stride
But throughout, it’s what the Lord did provide
Their eyes beyond the oceans
Their experiments being notions
A moment to reflect being their emotions
There were many great Afro-Americas
Yet hidden within the shadows, there were greats that have never been shown and known
They are your individual forefathers families who have guided you in your years, you, and only you can give them recognition known
Now my personal inspiration is my Grandfather, which I am making Full Blown
Achievement after achievement
Commitment after commitment
Determination after determination
Accomplishments in action having a focal point
Understanding with inspiring words as they spoke
Demeanor for us to preserver
Their knowledge is what they gave us in share
Our Afro-American pioneers broke race barriers
A locked door became an idea to open the door
It was a matter of understanding then explore
We became the thinker and as we grew, we became wise
It’s pure logic with not having a surprise
The sundown may have called their finale
Yet their legacy became our prospering alley
We stand with our fist up because of the dignity and pride from within
Thinking on the past from then
Yet ever achieving on can
But it’s total remembrance from when
Eye to eye, voice to voice, numerous spoken words with lots of inspiration in knowing how to be heard.

CHURCH SEPARATION NOT
preservationman May 2019
I AM VERY DISTURBED HOW SEPARATION HAS COME INTO SOME CHURCHES
SO WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
IT’S NOT A FACT
TRUE REALITY AT EVERY WORD
I MEAN SOME MINISTERS, DEACONS AND OTHER AUXILLERY THAT THINK THEY ARE MORE HOLY AND ONLY GREET CERTAIN MEMBERS
SAINTS, IT’S ALL ABOUT FELLOWSHIP
JESUS IS FRIENDS WITH ALL INCLUDING THE SINNER
WE ALL CAN ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BUT WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN AND FULL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
JESUS IS THE OPEN ARMS
WE AS BELIEVERS MUST EXTEND THE INVITATION
JESUS WANTS ALL CHURCHES TO BE ON ACCORD AND FELLOWSHIP TOGETHER AS ONE
JESUS DIDN’T SAY LET MY FLOCK GO ASTRAY
HE SAID, “FEED MY SHEEP”
JESUS IS NOT A PICKY GOD TO ANYONE AND SHOWS COMPASSION TO ALL WITHOUT BEING JUDGE MENTAL
THERE ARE NO HIGH NOR LOW STANDARDS
ONE STANDARD COVERS ALL

WHAT IF JESUS SAID AND SWITCHED ROLES, AND YOU COULD ONLY EXCEPT CHRIST IN HAVING STATUS
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
YOU WOULD FEEL BETRAYED
YOU WOULD THEN QUESTION WHY IS JESUS LIKE THAT
SO FELLOWSHIP THAT JESUS HAS STATED, WHY DO YOU SEPARATE LIKE THAT?
JESUS IS YET PROVEN AND THE FACT HE DIED SO THAT WE MAY ALL HAVE LIFE EVERLASTING
THIS IS THE REASON MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND EMBRACE IN THE GOODNESS OF JESUS THEREOF
WE SHOULD AS CHRISTIAN’S SHOULD SAY, “GOOD TO SEE MY BROTHER AND SISTER, AND IF THEY ARE SICK, WE SHOULD OFFER PRAYER
JESUS PAID IT ALL AND HE IS THE PRIZE
HE IS THE ONE WHO WAKES US UP TO RISE
THERE ARE NO LITTLE U’S NOR I’S ON EARTH NOR IN HEAVEN
EVERY OPPORTUNITY IS AN INVITATION TO WALK WITH JESUS AS HE IS THE WAY AND THE ONLY WAY
EVERY ENCOURAGING WORD IN SERMON’S IS THE PREPARATION BEFORE THE TRIAL AND TRIBULATIONS
GOODNESS IS IN THE PRAISE
THE WONDERS IS JESUS AMAZE
CHURCH MEMBERS SEPARATION NOT
JESUS IS THE WINNING SLOT
WE WERE ONCE SINNERS OURSELVES
SOME OF US NEVER WHAT CHURCH WAS OR WHO JESUS WAS
BUT YOU GOT AN UNDERSTANDING OR PERHAPS STILL LEARNING
NOW THAT JESUS TURNED YOU AROUND
THINK SALVATION IF YOU INTEND TO BE HEAVEN BOUND.

ENDLESS STRAIGHT LINE
preservationman Oct 2017
Straight ahead with no turns
Walking I did walking the straight and narrow
As I continued to walk, it was a straight line with no end
There wasn’t even a sight of a bend
My mind thought during the walking what seemed like more than a mile
All that during while
Straight as I continued to go
But now I am breathless and must take it slow
This straight line runs forever
Whoever created this straight line was absolutely clever
Endless thought
It was definitely the time for food needing to be sought
There wasn’t any grass and trees
There was only a mild passing breeze
However that passing mild breeze I did feel at ease
But the thought of walking that endless straight line
Imagine arriving then suddenly returning back was my thoughts combined
Yet the endless straight line continues on
After all that I am starting to yond
That straight line is only a memory for me
This is enough you see
Straight line leading to knowledge in becoming an experience
Determination being the endurance
Assurance being the influence
The straight line being reality education
A thought surrounding the indication
The straight line effect being the preparation in any situation.

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

But in the distance below I could see a fountain
Suddenly a rush of wind started to blow
Somehow my understanding became in the know
Yet the breeze was refreshing in a captivating flow
Immediately inspiration popped in
However I wasn’t even thinking in the moment of then
But it wasn’t until that wind
I knew a vision of living had set in
Even high above, I looked below to where I lived
I had achieved, but there was still more for me to give
It was that moment that really opened my eyes
My thinking became more being wise
Understanding moved into knowledgeable
Enable was able
Wisdom in vision
Reasons having no seasons
All from one blowing wind

Holding hands upon hands in the multitudes

Mr. & Mrs Kiya Huesca with hope of a Happy Prospecting marriage of bliss
To all other marriages I have the same above wish
Yet it all started with that enduring kiss
But from me as well, a word of prayer
Please close your eyes
Lord bless each and every couple with the sound of my voice
This is a happy occasion with a time to rejoice
Lord guide each individual couple with your guiding light
Let it be goodness with understanding in plain sight
It’s not the understanding being one’s own accord
It’s everlasting which only comes from the Lord
Lord, you are the beginning and the end
Please let each couple see compromise will always be in begin
Commitment and devotion is what stands
It’s communicate in working things out
As struggles arise, let their be communication, but no shout
Let each couple see that God is in full control
Husband and Wife being an entity within your behold
Together Man and Wife you became one
Don’t ever forget, it was love that brought you both together being among
My prayers is always keep God within
Call on him when you need on when
But don’t make it every now and then
This is the moment you should give thanks
The idea is prosper along
Yet stay in God’s care in how your marriage will get along
This I pray that all marriages will last
But not lose sight of understanding and letting love past
Always have understanding that involves trust
This is an absolute must
But don’t fight, and forget God is the guiding light
Don’t let circumstances become a plight
Remember, you are not in the marriage alone
God sees and it will always be shown
Communicate, but don’t disrespect
Make this a priority and not an elect
I see flying Doves flying above
It’s beauty and goodness with everything in life to think of
Christ is the Holy One that gives advice
It’s a matter once again in being understanding, but not thinking twice
This I pray in God’s name
Togetherness is always the aim
Marriage into one, and my prayers continual among
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I say AMEN.

I felt like it was a theater movie stream
The Lord guided me around the Heavenly gates
It looked like a very wealthy estate
I didn’t step nowhere else of Heaven because I was still in the flesh
Remember Flesh and Blood shall never enter the Kingdom of Heaven because of sin
Heaven was constructed in majesty of gold
It was the Angels showing me look and behold
Angels were singing and there was plenty of Joy
All I could say was “Oh Boy”
I later responded to the Lord with, “How soon can I leave Earth?”
The Lord’s response, “It’s not your time”
I was then transported back to Earth
I later woke up and felt a new birth
I totally rejoiced and had plenty of praise
God is awesome and Almighty of amaze
I knew Heaven couldn’t let me in
Flesh and Blood was still in sin.

It’s advice in putting you the reader in the know
But it’s up to me in explanation being the show
People come in all languages and color shades
It’s a creation from the beginning that Heaven made
Some people come with attitudes beyond measure
This is something that no one should have to treasure
Racism comes in multitudes
All nationalities that we should also include
My Grandfather told me how I should live to get along
Always keep my head up in knowing I do belong
There is a purpose we all were put here on this Earth
It’s called civilization without with the old and in with the new beginning a new birth
We all were put to socialize
Yet others have the need to criticize
Life is what it is
Skin color was established from the very start
My Grandfather would often tell me observe as I continue to live
I will gain even more wisdom as years forward on
It’s an every day process of teaching me how to continue to press on
My advice to all of you is two key words, “Observe and Understanding”

RACISM 101
preservationman Jan 2016
There are some voices unable to create sounds
Struggles with boundaries under the term bound
Lessons to be learned
Honor and dignity with an assurance of earned
Respect being in control
It’s the true personality as a whole
Yet shade colors don’t want to assort
But is the assort that wants to abort
This is not what everyone was taught
We were created to fellowship and mingle as one
It’s not own accord and being done
Noticed I said fellowship
There’s the theory being the tip
Prejudice is just a word
But have you ears become someone else’s heard
No matter what people say nor think
The whole idea of prejudice just stinks
We were put on this Earth for a reason
It’s not changeable with any season
It’s individual thinking comprising with a negative treason
Personality is simply the make-up of who the person is truly is
It’s content of character
This is what that should truly matter
Not being just a dramatic experience
It should be one being comfortable with making a difference
Imagine two shads of color being babies whom doesn’t know what racism really is
There’s the example that we all should live by
At least give a chance in effort and just try
We must know togetherness for your self
You can’t rely from someone else
Separation centered on groups
But heritage shades was established from various roots
It’s time to acquaint a different tune even if it involves a flute
We should talk and learn how to get along
The term is encouragement and enhance where we all belong
Accept for who the person is
Not your own understanding when you want to begin
Racism should not be a word of hate
But coming together in relate
Move from racism before it’s too late
Look beyond the calendar but make it a date.

I am not telling you this from some verse
Prayer was the key

But it is pray that will always stay

In fact, it’s nothing scientific
Yes my Brothers and Sisters, time is wining down and no time for looking around
The church should be your place
Having Faith is not to erase
Sin is nothing more than a waste
Seek Christ while he can be found
The Earth is slowing settling down
In a second, destruction having no sound
The Christ that is and will always be
Just wait, pray and look up, and the entire world shall see.
