2021 PAST TO 2022 FUTURE
preservationman Dec 2021
2021 with another uncertain year
One wondered, where do we preserver?
So many things were happening during 2021
Virus Strands
It spread quickly throughout the land
Masks and Vaccine’s held true
This is something for 2022 to pursue
Racial Unrest and rage
It didn’t matter what age
Senior’s Attacked
Breaking News showed the fact
Murders and Road Kills
The reason behind with a pause still
The day the Capitol was seized and broken in
It was surrounded by an Election questioned
For the world, it became a learning lesson
Black Lives Matter
Surfacing was so much negative chatter
Soon 2021 will depart
2022 will be a fresh start
What can we expect?
The most important part would be hope
Praying for Peace
Being able to cope at least
Embrace
This is serious with no time to waste
Unity and Harmony
Positive voices like a soothing symphony
2022 having new Innovations
A world absorbed in appreciations
Supporting and participating in communities
That would be an important reality
Understanding beyond
Tomorrow’s clear skies to look upon
Living among
Life without all these guns
Fresh thoughts
Tomorrow’s dreams no longer nightmares
Wake up to wisdom
2022, I am waiting for you to arrive
The clock is ticking
Time revolves
2022 your moment
Movement will be the world’s action
Build us like a transaction
The Year 2022

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.

Run for your lives
A couple of years ago, my Mother decided to make Thanksgiving Dinner
Eat at your own risk as you enter
Now this was a choice that wasn’t wise
But if I have offended I will gladly apologize
My Mother made the meal that didn’t settle being for real
A Turkey that looked like it would rather fly
Yet the Guest observation in not wanting to try
A table that looked like it couldn’t hold any more food on it
To top it off, my Mother made biscuits that seemed more fitting for Yankee Stadium
Those biscuits were hard to eat
Now you would think we would have retreat
However, when my Mother announced she made biscuits, my Grandfather said “Oh No”
As for me, I just went along with the flow
My Grandfather stated he rather have bread instead
Well the meal went on but think “SOS”
SAVE OUR STOMACH’S
For dessert, my Mother made a cake that looked like a life preserver
But I wasn’t about to come down with any ship
Yet my stomach felt like all to shore with the thought in be uncomfortable in not being sure
Pepto Bismol became my dear friend
When my Grandparents and I got home, we competed on who was getting to the bathroom first
I won out
Now my story was something to talk about
Food for thought
After all that, I had to be a sport
I lived to tell it all
It happened and I saw
A Thanksgiving past I will never forget
Now eating that food now that was truly a regret
I would continue, but I will just let.

A CERTAIN SILENCE
preservationman Jul 2014
Peace being in the air
A certain stillness beyond compare
Yet tranquil and serene
A life with a bleam
No beckoning call within its own gleam
Quiet being put at the top
Unheard echoes with the brakes on stop
Not needing earplugs to cut down the noises
Imagination passed through the mind
Quiet to the chore
Relaxed anxiety to explore
Silence being more than a word
It’s an outcome in the utterance of heard
The utterance in not moving the lips
The encouragement only being a tip
Silence, Silence and Silence
Quiet, Peace and letting your mind be placed in guidance.

9/11 FAST FORWARD
preservationman Sep 2015
2001, a year of devastation
The remorse of no recognition
Terrorist who wanted to destroy
They were villains like the ancient Troy
But that was then
Fast Forward in 14 years where our story begins
New Office towers went straight up
A new chapter that formed on our cup
Determination that continues us to shine
But let’s not forget it was also God’s blessings combined
It’s the past meet the present
Then it will become present into a new future
The message to Terrorist, “we are not one to stop and our inspiration is what keeps us on top”
A new improved World Trade Centers which tells the world, we were destined to reach new heights
We are determined New Yorkers that no struggle will be a plight
It’s the sun that sheds that light
Our every footstep are our identification of where we begun
Every day a new frontier and we are not done
It’s New York City Citizens who unite
But the message to the Terrorist, “We shall ignite”
The skies are watching over us
It’s our daily prayers being a must
The rainbow was a ray of hope
The establishment we shall cope
Our tomorrow has arrived
This is where hope continues our strive
But let’s not forget those who loss their lives
Their ashes of their soul in the bosoms of the Heavenly Father
Holding hands upon hands in the multitudes
The world we must also include
We must continue to be enthused
Our tolerance shouldn’t be we will lose
Our motto, “Straight Up”
A reflection of buildings being tall and remembrance for all
9/11 our remembrance story
No ending chapter and blessings being the glory.

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.

MIDNIGHT DEATH
preservationman Mar 2016
At the ringing of the clock at precise midnight
Souls after souls from everywhere began to be lifted up
Flesh simply disappeared
But it was the midnight hour to preserver
There were no moans and no pain
It was only the soul that would remain
The moon was high and full
There seemed to some of pull
A new destiny being eternity
Death being the finale
The Unforsaken attempting to be together in an alley
It was quick and swift
A new Earth and emotions
Death has hit me and I am drifting to a place
My soul no man can ever replace
My life is a temporary erase
This is my day and it’s a spiritual getaway
I must move on in the call and can’t stay
Death onto me on this day, and into my own eternity where there is solvency.

DARKED BLINDS
preservationman Mar 2018
White House shake up goes beyond
Media is carefully looking upon
The blinds have been tightly shut from open to close
Investigations upon investigations in expose
Yet it is a wonder I suppose
The Secretary Of State was told to step down
A quick replacement that immediately found
President Trump is running scare
Questionable scandals needing to clear the air
The White House Administration is becoming a reality show
One by one, it seems everyone is being let go
But it looks more like the Apprentice show
Media has been following the White House all along
Yet President Trump calls Media Fake News that doesn’t belong
Yet the GOP finds no wrong in the Russia and President Trump collusion
But that is the GOP’s own conclusion
Special Counsel Mueller is still in charge
The GOP seem to think they are large
However, there are many problems no one can seem to solve
But somebody has to get involved
So over and over again, the White House becomes the open door of revolve
Things at the White House are heating up more
The more the White House assembly’s, the more continuous in investigating in explore
President Trump wants the spotlight off and ignores
An end is matter of when
Eventually, there will be an end.

Don’t worry you are on schedule and not late
This will be a day to we all can appreciate
Our adventure begins at the Ship Passenger Terminal in Bayonne, New Jersey
We will be touring aboard, “THE ROYAL CARIBBEAN ANTHEM OF THE SEAS”

It’s a day on the ship in still water
Then lunch included aboard, and touring more all in that order
A day of nothing but fun fun fun
A full day of a tour group among
But wait, we are not done
I just asked the Captain to call for a tugboat
No SOS
But I do have a confess
Since I am on a Passenger Cruise Ship, I want to go to Bermuda
However, I know I didn’t pack a suitcase
I am on a cruise ship and why should I waste
I would buy clothes on the ship
Well until then
One day I will really travel on a passenger cruise ship
My encouragement was my tip
So long for now
A dream come true one day with a Wow.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE CROWN
preservationman Jan 2016
The Earth is starting to change
The skies are aligning in rearrange
Heaven is carefully looking Earth down
Praises to the most highest, should be your sound
My Brothers and my Sisters, start praying whole on your knees
With the struggling times, you need to call on thee
Time is getting shorter by the hour
You need salvation in order to have power
Murders beyond one’s redemption
Evildoers thinking on exception
Understanding being one’s accord
The Covenant coming from our Lord
Hatred lives thinking they will always strive
Believe on Christ in repent and you will survive
This is not a fable of jive
It’s the truth that Jesus shall arrive
The time is now
Prayer is the key in showing you how
Tomorrow might be today
No one really knows the exact day
I have a testimony I wish to share
Death was knocking at my door at birth
Doctors stated I would be leaving this Earth
Jesus simply said that this was going to be a reverse
I am not telling you this from some verse
Prayer was the key
My continued living became everlasting
Jesus will soon return
No need to pack
It’s just a prophesized fact
In order to enter the kingdom of Heaven, you must repent
Jesus died for us so he is our savior being Heaven sent
Judgment upon the Earth
The enrichment being a new birth
The Devil wants to recruit move deceit in his army
The battle is never won
Jesus reigns supreme and no matter what, he will always be number one
My believing was continuous
My praise was for the amaze
My testimony being your tour guide in the leading the spiritual way
I am sure there are doubter’s that have words to say
But it is pray that will always stay
The Lord being a connection not needing any electronics
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.

It was years from picking cotton and working on the plantation from when

But working in that hot sun with my in fry

It is only by your mercy I continue in might
Lord free me from this tribulation

Continue to have mercy on me Lord
The whip being of the Devil’s strang

JESUS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
preservationman Jan 2017
A U.S. President who thinks he is doing it alone
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.

Those lips on mine
I remember all so well
Yes, I got to tell
We embraced in a kiss under the Moon
The Moon seemed to smile
But it was that fascinated kiss while
Love came out through Sarah Brown’s kiss
Now that is something no one can miss
No woman I ever dated could compare in Sarah Brown’s kiss
Sarah Brown’s kisses were on impulse
Her kisses elevated my pulse
That kiss was like, “Look what you have done to me”
But Sarah Brown was a sweet thing
That kiss will always be my sling
Sarah Brown’s kiss have transported both of us to the Moon and into the Milky Way
But I am ok
Sarah Brown, your kiss will always be my relay
You heard, “The kiss to my lips”
Sarah Brown, I know it has been awhile
There was something about you because you had style
I wonder even now in where you are at
Your kiss was a devoted kiss
That is the impact your kiss had on me
Our lives seemed to have turned a different twist
Yet kiss me now into everlasting.

BROADWAY LIGHTS
preservationman Apr 2017
It was a dream I always had
Being the Star and under the spotlight
I always had the rhythm
But it was a gift being talent
I would often practice hour after hour
In between, I would often tire
Regardless of sweat and aches, I refused to expire
Every dance step had to be toned to perfection
On Broadway, it would be the dance moves in reflection
The thought of Broadway being applause from the audience
Once I felt comfortable with my dance steps
It would be time to step out and audition about
A new Broadway Musical was coming out called “DANCE HOUR”
It would be music from JAZZ to R&B DISCO
So I auditioned
When I was called, I danced to many combinations in smooth dazzling ways
Props being my own
After I finished, the Director shouted, “WELCOME TO BROADWAY”
I danced being the star performer having appreciation in my heart being gratitude
Broadway that was meant for me
My talent for all to see
The Great White Way with entertainment that is sure to stay
But it was Maurice and Gregory Hines that led my way.

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.

All heroes in the armed services
The power to protect the U.S. base
Actions to defend and not be a waste
A salute in a job well done
The battle of conflict in winning as one
Bloodshed being one’s end
Wounds after wounds in the enemy in begin
A Soldier being more than just a name
Standing at a moments notice ready to take aim
It’s conflict being the blame
The fallen soldier being chosen
A remembrance being a thought in being risen
Rifle shots in your honor
A final salute
The trumpet plays being a ballad tot
The flag of America has it hangs high
The soldier of you and no question of why
A soldier’s heart became the solder’s strategy in knowing where to start
A tombstone with all the soldier’s names
We the survivor’s are who yet remain
The spirit of the soul in not being a game
A hand salute that is raised really high
Heaven’s voice marking wisdom’s thy
One more salute in carrying out our daily life

It was a show about to begin
But the question was of when
However the theater was packed
The lights and music was well stacked
But show time had arrived
The audience was being patient and caught up in their own stride
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
The show can now begin
It’s show time and this poem can finally conclude in being the end.

It was time when we lived on Pacific Street
A place in Brooklyn, New York where we had to retreat
A two family brownstone that was very hot in the summer
The nights were unbeatable where you couldn’t even slumber
Our only escape was Coney Island where one could catch a breeze
It was the whispers of air and feeling at ease
A night to feel relaxed
The thought of hot making one perplexed
The summers I will never forget
It was those nights that I regret
Even with the fans you couldn’t cool off
The hot house being no mystery of its own
It is my history and I am letting it be known.

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.

ONCE UPON A WRITE

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.

It flew throughout the store overlooking the kids
The plane said, “Look up here and I am flying to all you buy me in preserver”
Come kid persuade Mom to buy as my batteries are already in
If you take me home, you can open the box, and your playing will begin
A Jack in the Box sprang into action
Smiles and laughter on its face being the activation
Suddenly a bubble machine advertised its slogan within the bubbles of “Buy me and become absorbed in fun”
Animation became a shoppers and kids appreciation
However this was definitely the indication
“Animate in coming alive, with the sell and adding a touch of assured in tell”.

THE BIG CHILL IS ON
preservationman Feb 2017
Temperatures that really took a dip
The weather was the tip
A day when the wind could blow someone away
Winter still
It’s certainly no frill
Snow fell the other day
Some wished it went the other way
Yet, it was on course and didn’t astray
But it came the Northeast way
However, at least it was a fast moving snowstorm that didn’t stay
The snowstorm could have been worst
I might have to recite a verse
Temperatures holding steady
But the question is, are you ready?
Just make sure you hold the shovel steady
Snow as it comes, and others states who had their share, and now it is our turn to get some.

A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN
preservationman May 2015
It was a footstep being a dream
It wasn’t an imagination it seemed
Heaven is a place of totally delight
But too the most part, it is out of Earth’s sight
The Pearly Gates were decked out in gold
The Angels being like armed guards in Heaven’s behold
Yet you could hear praises and songs in the background
Yet I was still alive and not Heaven bound
Rainbows sparkled the Heavenly city
But to the Earth below living in sin and the thought was Oh what a pity
A blanket of white filled the Heavenly throne
The subject was Jesus and this I always known
It was a very relaxed atmosphere
All the earmarks of joy and praise to preserver
Yet it seemed like a dream
But Heaven is like a clear crystal stream
A rejoicing place
Heaven the city that will never ever be erased
Heaven being above all things
A reason to praise, and as servants seeing the amaze, but Jesus eyes our spirits shall be raised.

TOMORROW’S WORLD
preservationman Sep 2016
A world having a future
Good not against foe
Everlasting having no focus on woe
A chance to truly live
Affection in appreciation where everyone gives
Emotions that won’t be screams
A life of comfort like cherries and whip cream
An easygoing life
A world where one can actually get true advice
All that would be nice
A time where there is no provoke
Taking life serious and not a mockery and a joke
There would finally be Peace On Earth
An actual new birth
I would definitely want spiritual to be present
After all, one would have to represent
A world with a new beginning
It would be inning after inning
But with a winning approach like a baseball home run
Yet living in peace feeling among
However, a tomorrow being everlasting that never gets out done.

BIRD’S EYE VIEW

A bird soaring high in the air
The skies the limit beyond compare
The earth’s landscape seen below
A brisk breeze accompanying the flow
Yonder into the horizon I fly
No other bird flying as it is just I
The natural art of flight being no question
The wide blue skies
The clouds that make us think and understanding of wise
A bird’s world beyond the globe
The wonders of behold
The world with its own view
It’s the bird that truly knew.

THE CHOSEN VOICE
preservationman Nov 2014
My utterance in wanting to speak
I had numerous questions that I was trying to seek
Yet I was told to remain silence
A volcanic eruption I felt all inside
The silence I just couldn’t abide
My integrity being my honest
No I am not trying to be modest
My understanding being more than mire words
It’s a matter of being heard
For years I was told I had no voice
But the question being, “Who made this a choice?”
Thoughts are made too be granted
Shout out with your opinion expressed
Be determined and make it clear like it’s your last breath
Lead doesn’t always mean follow
A space in the corner being your own makes you shallow
You have become a shadow of your own fate
This you can change and it is never too late
You control and can make it an anticipated date
Facts and figures that certainly should relate
Think on accomplishments of Paul Revere
Dr. Martin Luther King in where do we go from here?
The Civil Movement from mission step to the rear
President Obama in “Lets continue to preserver”
It’s a matter of your voice being solid as the Prudential Rock
It doesn’t matter if negativity mocks
Your voice shines like the New York Stock Exchange
It’s the roar of applause with thinking with a cause and the impression that remains
Act like a Senator from within and let your speaking begin.

A LOST POET
preservationman Oct 2017
A Poet that was hidden away
At least that is what people say
History has that the Poet would often regularly write
But so far up to date, no one has heard or seen the Poet in sight
The Poet’s words always took away the writing fear
There was sincerity for all readers near
It seems to have become a Poet’s no preserver
Where does one look with a concern for a Poet’s whereabouts?
One could always shout
But what is the Poet was kidnapped, but then again, everyone would be talking about
It is not a missing person bout
Inspiration loss
It feels like a wavy storm being a toss
But all is not lost
We are Poets and our words can find the missing Poet
Our words echoes out
Somewhere out there the Poet wants to write being his escape
Our mission is to write being our search
How about that?
A miracle took place
The Poet has been found
In the Poet’s own words, “I was able to escape, and write the way I always have
Mission being the whole time was determination
A Poet’s wish became a conquest
Poet didn’t take anything being less
The Poet being the witness telling his own confess
Being a Poet, the Poet just knows how to pass the writing test.

A HORSE WITH NO HEART
preservationman Mar 2017
A gallop at an Upstate New York Rocking Horse Resort
A Junior High School Senior trip
But’s here’s the tip
It was the Dead of Winter on a February Day
Welcome to the resort and step this way
There were a lot of things the resort offered
One of them of course was riding a horse
So I got to ride Tiger Lil
The horse was wide and built to fill
But to ride, one had to be determined and have a strong will
Well it was the trail a waits
The trail was icy and warranted a caution of fate
My thought, “I am riding this horse and this is the date”
Like I said before, the trail a waits
Up the trail being an overpassed high
In the distance, the ride was a temporary resort good-bye
Horses took us higher and higher until we reached the top
Suddenly, one of the horses through the rider off
I got terrified, and jumped off
Immediately the resort hands got my horse back
Later being reunited with Tiger Lil and me
I said let me think and see
Tiger Lil I knew I would be riding
However, the horse had me abiding
But I took control of the horse reins
It was the valley I didn’t want to see
We are heading back to the resort
I could see it in the distance
We were finally back to the flatland ground
I got off the horse, and my heel on my shoe broke
Tiger Lil laughed in it being a joke
I moved like a Marshall Dillon as I was that sore
I would name it, but it hurts, and I don’t think you would want to explore
When I got back to the bus, I told the Driver to lower the bus
The Driver asked me how low, I stated all the way
Arrived back home
My own territory to roam
I made it through the whole ordeal
This was a true story being for real.

WHEN TOMORROW WAS YESTERDAY
preservationman Jul 2018
I guess you are confused
I will try to make it plan and simple and not a bomb that needs to be defused
Days move accelerating fast
In fact one day of the week that doesn’t really last
You have constantly said, “I will do tomorrow”
Yet the day before was yesterday and you didn’t realize of a task you should have done
However, your tomorrow came and went which might be another put off
Yesterday was the day that you should have the chore of completion
Again, yesterday was and tomorrow being a gone of came and went
Heaven was on target in being sent
Tomorrow came so fast, and you totally overlooked yesterday
Don’t think on it now, but yesterday was your day
Tomorrow is a day to catch up with what accomplished
Yesterday was the establishment
Tomorrow has come being a commitment but with an opportunity
Presume but wasn’t a possibility
It became a reality
Time restraints
Have you set your tomorrow from yesterday?
What will you accomplish and establish?
But don’t let tomorrow’s mission become an undone yesterday task
Days and many tomorrow’s move in the quickness
What is your agenda?
Yesterday is here and tomorrow is upon.

GRADUATE TRILOGY
preservationman May 2015
Your encouragement came from various adult groups
Your educational desires were your mind helping you to think stride with footsteps in effort
There were doubts in your mind and negativity from others all combined
The power of the blackboard that showed your encouragement from the start being words
The many Teachers and Professors in making sure they were being heard
It was a matter in being prepared for the work place
Achieving now and not be a waste
It wasn’t an easy road
But look at what you accomplished, “You graduated and behold”
Your school that produced the foundation
You listened wisely as educational tools that opened your eyes
Remember education is what makes you wise
But it is the every day living which you will reach in realize
Understanding will be a theory you must think out
It is all about being successful and this is what I am talking about
There will be opposition in downing your point
Stand your ground and let understanding be your course
Your Teachers have left this impression
Use what they taught being the indication
You are the individual that stands out
This is your chapter I am talking about
Your whole education experience that was an adventure
It’s time to venture and be proud of your self, and say, “I can do this”
Now hit that bull’s eye and don’t make a miss
Your family and friends share your strides
Achieve by being involved
Having enthusiasm in knowing how to problem solve
Illustrate while you participate
Others said, you will never achieve
Never let anyone corrupt your mind in trying to deceive
This should make all graduate’s be relieved
Your determination is what stands out
Hold up your head up and be proud
Shout loud, “I am a graduate”
Success comes to all who make a step
Good things come too whom listened and abided


Your graduation is a gift being an effort in your try
As you step off the school’s grounds, you have made the first step in being educated bound
It seemed long and hard, but you will one day see your own achieving mark
Believe in me as I believe in you
You can certainly be assured as your confidence helps you to be sure
As my Grandfather instilled in me, “Continue to learn and you will become a commodity to earn”.

Washington, DC, you need to wake up today
House Representatives you think Guns are ok
Guns in the public’s hands with bullets that go astray
Guns constantly **** every day
But it seems you want to have your own way
Push has constantly been done to get rid of Guns, but as usual Congress you have no words to say
Bullets can have anyone’s aim
But you Congress are the finger pointing in blame
Whatever happened to God’s commandment. “Thou shall not ****”
But the question being and answer stalled on still
Guns will continue to destroy
Human bodies are not decoys
Guns are used as though they are toys
Congress, please stand with the world who are against guns
This is not some joke being a pun
It’s the seriousness of all these unnecessary guns
Guns are supposed to protect
At least this is you Congress has stated being elect
But you have turned your heads as a reject
What would it take for Guns to disappear?
Lives being loss, but how does one preserver
I often pray that Congress will do the right thing
Not so much fighting and being uptight
The mission is “Bullets to lose and lives to gain”
This ongoing shootings just can’t remain
Guns must go and just follow my flow
Guns have their own any and the multitudes add up to many
Fire one, aim to stop
Fire two, the target could be you
Fire three, Guns are getting into the wrong hands
Guns that could fire on me, and no one would investigate to see
How long and why wait?
Congress and the world, this is no time to hesitate.

POET VS TEOP
preservationman Apr 2018
There’s more to a Poet that meets the eye
Poet spelled backwards is Teop and that is why
According to the dictionary, Teop is a language of Northern Bougainville, Papua New Ginea
Imagine that
You probably thought a Poet was alone, but the dictionary let it be known
Being a Poet when you think about it can come in many different languages
Cultures expressed in Poetry foreign vibes
Teop being a language all its own
Good information for letting it be known
How a Poet expresses in varying foreign words
Let’s face it all they want is to be heard
Poet and Teop in the spoken written tongue
What it all mount’s to is communication
Poet into Teop and any other culture are that one’s who are the assembler of words
Culture Poet’s are the one’s in their native language interacting the thought
The idea of sought
So Poet and Teop do have something in common

My Grandfather used to tell me it takes all kinds to make up the world
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”
Examine your actual seeing
Human personality in action
Don’t be surprised in what you see and hear
Yet you continue to preserver
Common sense has taken a whole new meaning
Just let your eyes visualize, and the outcome of understanding being a compromise.

This is a story of actual truth
It happened in my 27th Year Old youth
It was September 1984 when I went to San Francisco, California on vacation for Seven Days
You might partly was when I went astray
I toured the Frisco City Downtown and out
I even went to South San Francisco
But there was an upper part of downtown that the Tour Guide emphasized to avoid
So I asked why is the area warranted in not to go up
I am the adventurer type
So I really wanted to explore
I wasn’t scare, but my decision was sure

The Tour Guide gave me instructions in how I should act and dress
So I did just that
I wore a Do rag completely around my head, Torn Clothes and a Bad Attitude
The Bad Attitude was street talk using cuss words
So I ventured up
As I was walking and continued too walk, it was apparent that people were becoming lesser and lesser
Once I arrived, in the alley was confronted with a multitude of Motorcycle Gangs
One of the Cyclist stated to me that I didn’t belong in the area
My response was, “I am in the area now”
I acted tough with my response, and ready at any given moment to rumble
I played in off
After a while, I then decided to return back to downtown
So I learned why no one wanted to go uptown of Frisco
It wasn’t an area where I would encourage anyone to go, but it was an experience of acting like a Gangbanger to feel the vibe
I definitely was taking a chance
This wasn’t a mission to advance
I just simply held my stance
But I was told I could have been killed and loss my life
However, the experience was how I rolled being my own advice being the Gangbanger ways.

Jerry lewis, a man I call laugher
Comical sketches that would have many fans in stitches
Craziness that you would get anyone’s attention
But one can’t forget Dean Martin with Jerry Lewis now that is something I had to mention
But comedy wasn’t the only side to Jerry Lewis
Mr. Lewis had a serious side, Jerry Lewis would often host the MDA Telethon
It was a cause close to Mr. Lewis heart
It was about children and adults suffering from MDA
Mr. Lewis was committed to that cause being his devotion
Jerry Lewis laughter scenes being a craze
But there was something to the laughter in sketches being an amaze
Mr. Lewis lived to be 91 years old
If he would tell stories it would a wonder of behold
But Heaven has Jerry Lewis in laughter with his name
It was Hollywood totally in Mr. Lewis fame
Yet Heaven has Mr. Lewis soul which will remain
Sleep well Mr. Lewis, you lived your life to the fullest
Inspiration to all our hearts
It’s at the moment the remembrance of laughter with a tear
Yet it’s your encouragement for us in continuing to preserver
Laughter is about fun and being full of joy
You gave us that to enjoy
Thank you for the laughter and comedy
You are appreciated in your efforts and commitment with the MDA
You gave more than your talent
This is honorable and no one should be silent
You left us being your final bow
Long lasting memory of talent being oh wow
Until our paths cross again
I cannot say when
We will meet once again
I will be speak to you in Heaven then.

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.

WRITING KNOCKERS
preservationman Apr 2016
Do you get discouraged when you write?
Do you feel that when you write people are being too polite?
The bottom line if you can distinguish letters and turn them into words
You are thinking with an imaginary surge
If you can write a business letter then you know how to write
If you imagination takes you to a place then you know how to excite
The statement is writing with authority and taking your thoughts with what you know
Remember you are the illustrator being the show
The inventor with a surprise mind
Use whatever creative resources that is combined
Settle for but keep thinking as you explore
Negativity is something you should ignore

Turn the knock at the door and write like never before
The refreshing breeze while standing on the shore
A writing tablet offering you expelling ideas
Destiny with a journey
Business at hand with the pen

Never say you can’t
Start with efforts in try and it will determine you can
The knock out punch with your writing starting at once
When other people try to discourage you and say you can’t write
Tell them don’t be jealous and uptight
Negative thoughts means some people aren’t bright

Follow your dreams and go with your heart
Take your hand and just write until done
Join the many Poets and Writers and be among
Write about what you know or how you feel
You control the dialog in being a big deal
Your Coach says write until when and conclude at the end
“Your Writing lives and you survived your own muse”.

Transformation into a new species

It was your thought on “IF”
Your Analysis on “WHEN”
Your concentration of “CAN”
You mattered book knowledge and concepts
It’s time to think about adaptability
Let no boundaries stop you from reaching your goals
Your tomorrow arrived today
You are now a “COMMODITY”
Having many talents within beyond education
Yet we have ventured back to “CAN”
Education put the hard work and your overcame the struggles
Look at where you are you are a GRADUATE
You focused on your achievements
Yet determined to make your career vision a reality
You stepped up to the plate
What you thought was fate became your accomplishment arriving at your commencement date
You earned recognition
Life’s planning is easy to do, but total commitment in  Organization is what one must go through
Education prepared you in knowledge
Now Analysis means apply the thinking logic
Theories are far more than concepts, but are Rhetoric of divined movements forming principles
It’s every step you make, and decisions at the right time being precise
But always knowing, there will be times you may need some advice
However, you are the ACHIEVERS who sets out what they start
This approach is BRAIN SMART
So Graduates, as you step out onto the streets
You are marketable, but don’t give into defeat
Your confidence having solid ground being your own
But that is something you already have known
Let me leave you with these encouraging words, “Matter the solutions, and you will overcome the struggles”.

LITTLE BOY BLUE

A little boy who was sassy a lot and got whipped in the right spot
His **** would actually turn blue

Little boy blue wouldn’t be able to sit for days
But it was his attitude because he had to change his ways
Little boy blue’s face would also be sad because he would sometimes be mad
Then there were other times when he would be glad
It was the whippings he would get
Perhaps at times taking a bet

His father was the best Lumberjack known throughout the land
So little boy blue got the right name
It was his temperament being the blame.

Granddad I know you are deceased
But I have some remembrance that needs to be released
I know you are looking down on me from Heaven
I still remember your words even at seven
You had encouraged me from the time of my birth
You taught me new skills for what they would be worth
All this you did before you left this earth
You made me practice typing for 4 hours a day
Then you told me up the ladder this way
It was those inspiring words you used to say
In some way, my day would always be ok
I also remember you stating, “Chose a word from the dictionary and incorporate in my vocabulary”
You wanted be to an intellectual solidarity
Your inspiration was for me to achieve
Higher education you wanted me to receive
Your words to try
Start thinking from I
Your vision of me as a commodity
Involvement in business with society
Your persuasion for me to explore
This was in case if I wasn’t sure
I continue to remember you always in the now
It was your teachings in showing me how
You are looking down on me and feeling proud
Time has a base that is simply allowed
Granddad your wisdom being next to none
But you will always be my number one.
