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.

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.

BY AND BY
preservationman Sep 2014
My Grandmother would often sing “By and By”
The words involved would have understand
As a youngster, I began wonder
But when I became an adult, I had wisdom of yonder
Salvation never understood at first
But once Christ became a part of me, the By and By was my own scripture of “Cry through the try”
I have no questions
My statements are my indications
No mystery of By and By
It is an automatic element in giving Christ a try
Many non-believers have many questions of why
But I have a testimony and Christ is the creation of I
It took years to understand my Grandmother’s phrase of By and By
Yet it continues to be the wisdom with assurance and Christ being the influence
My Grandmother had the right idea
The By and By in helping us all too preserver
It’s a matter of taking the fear out and replacing with praise in shout
My Grandmother is in Heaven in her By and By
But her words are saying, “I sit high with thy”
Understanding comes with salvation learning
But when it comes to praise, you must have an urning
Cry through your try, while you are on your praying knees, lift your head up as Christ wants you to step up and your footsteps in where Christ has taken you, and where you will Continue to go forth
By and By, a life of where I am at, and my life full of promise of where I can reflect on that. My faith to believe and how my soul is truly relieved. By and By, My Grandmother and I encouraging all to think on thy.

CLIMB UP
preservationman Aug 2016
A young white male Climber heading for the High Rise top
Yet the Police and Rescue team were determined to stop
It all started on the Trump Tower in New York City
An Office Tower being 58 stories high
The young lad just had to give a climb
But keep this in mind
The young lad wanted to see Presidential candidate Trump
But at least the young lad didn’t jump
This was a quest the young climber wanted to do
It was a mission that the Climber had to pursue
Up the building the Climber attempted
Careful stops on suction cups
One foot in front of the other
Then take your time and CLIMB CLIMB CLIMB
The young male Climber reached the 20th Floor
The Police and Rescue team were observing in galore
Timing had to be just right
The Police didn’t want the situation to become a plight
So once the Climber reached the 21st floor, enough was enough in bringing this Climber in
The Climber was pulled in, and applause from below in a situation that didn’t bend
A Cliff Hanging thought, but with a good end.

HOT HOUSE
preservationman Jul 2015
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.

The music suddenly stopped
There was an immediate pause
But one man appeared in clear view sight, his name Gausley Fray
A man who had a good heart
He knew how to inspire being his mark
Gausley simply said, “Lord I am ready to come home”
The Lord responded, “Heaven is a place where one can roam”
But Gausley also left his words of adornment
I must leave you now
But I left my trademark legacy in living now
Heaven is a very comfortable place
It is something time will never ever erase
I don’t want you all to continue to mourn
It is a new day for you to live and wake up from your yond
Look to one another to look upon
Loving is about caring and sharing
Praise is about joy and encouragement
Life doesn’t stop because one is on a journey
Living is a beginning with enriched Faith
I love you all
Always remember me being that call
I will be at every post of Heaven waiting for my love ones and friend’s arrival
But just think, we will see each other again
The Lord promised, it will be a time of when
My legacy prepared you on the theory of can
My inspiration has comforted you during your thinking then
So enrich, embrace, love one another, but don’t follow the other
My time came and I went
Where I am is Heaven sent
I am not saying Goodbye
Please don’t cry
Turn a challenge of effort with my inspiration in try
Until we meet again
In Heaven’s name, let your life be a new begin
I pray for you even at the end.

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.

Keeping my legacy alive
Thinking on the Civil Rights fight and how it will be your strive
I faced struggles everywhere along the way
It’s opposition blocking every moment day
Even though I died in efforts
The mission of Civil Rights must continue on
It’s continuous regardless of how long
The Civil Rights fight must let the world continue to see
It’s Freedom for all including me
Don’t turn back and flee
Victory can be done
But it must be complete until we have won
Come together in unity
This goes for every U.S. city
Across the country into every community
Raise your Destiny fists up
Don’t tire and get fed up
Power to Dignity and Pride
This is a movement with no time to hide
Educate and use what knowledge will provide
Let your voices be heard in the fight
It’s the sunshine that has given us the light
We can’t sit back and let Civil Rights continue to be a plight
Show Washington, DC in plain sight
The sun has risen and tomorrow will be our guiding light.

A Ghost that once lived in the redwood oak house
It was shared with a little mouse
The house was once dwelled by Mr. Robert Swellers, an Old man
He died some say in a strange death
But being he was an old man, one could say he died from Old age
Yet there seemed to be a lot of rage
Mysterious as it sounds, one can only be curious bound
However, the neighboring houses would often hear sounds
Yet Mr. Swellers Ghost wants to keep any Buyers from purchasing his home
The Ghost of Mr. Swellers that his house will be left alone
As a Ghost, Mr. Swellers is letting it be known
But the surrounding neighbors feel very uncomfortable
The fact in knowing that there is a Ghost on the block
They dare not mock
A Ghost that storms through a once owned house
Mr. Swellers never married so had no spouse
The emptiness of one’s soul
A wonder that captives the behold
A story fold
Yet the mystery that was ever told
Peace with no rest
Only the Ghost of Mr. Swellers can contest
Hold on too your flesh as it will be all you will have left.

IT’S A TAKE
preservationman Aug 2017
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.

ANIMATION COMING TO LIFE
preservationman Apr 2015
It was merchandise that came alive
Buy me and try me being the stride
Dancing among clothes trying to persuade any shopper
The prices and sales were there own show stopper
But toys also got involved
They also danced among the kids
But some kids were scare and hid
Various toys did catch many kid’s eyes
Through the eyes of a child and the many assortments being a surprise
A jet toy airliner plane with no mention of any name, which will remain
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 BALANCED ANGLE

A word Their
Who enters where?
Anticipation by surprise
The mind being captivated within an enterprise
But somehow through it all the whole turning point makes one realize
The vision of one’s talent
Creation within one’s connective sources
It’s the wonder of one’s accomplishment
It then becomes the establishment of an idea
A concept that will preserver
Words full of enchantment
Into the eyes of familiar
Also the same Poet in saying, “By the way”
This is encouragement in being committed day by day
Explanations being heard
I wrote but didn’t speak
An electronic statement was made but it was a tweet
I heard but didn’t want to listen
My smile was something of a non-reflection of the other
There seemed to be no sharing with another
I looked beyond the person, but realized I was that figure
My wildest dreams I haven’t seem
As a Poet I can’t fool the reader and must come clean
A Poet must stand up for who they are
It’s a Poet’s legacy in what I am talking about
No question and certainly no doubt
The sentences are saying ok
The voices of words are concluding with reminding on this day.

Poet’s works should be viewed in a place where the public can actually see
As Poet’s, we are the be
It’s our creativity being words of activity
Words need a place where they can roam
It’s our feelings letting it be known
Imagine a Poetry Museum

Accomplishments that were turned into establishments
Poet’s words that bring new meaning
The excitement being a home run inning

The breath of enduring words
Those same words offer the public in have your heard
We as Poet’s have heard being our voice, Production pen and computer keyboard
Again, it is the creativity in what words can become
Designation in how Poet’s words were constructed
A message being encouragement
Our Gift being from above
The ideas of everything to think of
A sense of what thoughts that were within
An observation during the Poet’s when
Transparency that was from then
Later, it was the ****** that came at the end

Poet’s words are truly sculpture
This is makes the Poet’s adventure

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.

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”.

We shall overcome
Yet the fight continues and we are not done
Together we are all one
The sunrise in standing and looking beyond our cries
Every effort should be our try
Surpass obstacles that label us outclass
Take no backseat in being last
Races are about associating and living among
Races come in all shades and we are one
Freedom is a given right
No challenge just asking for respect and being polite
Races are not asking for the world

More than just Washington, DC steps
Not Las Vegas where you can place a bet
Speeches are made to keep the world abreast in aware
There should be no negative caution in our beware
Think on resolutions, but not be a square

As a Content Writer/Poet the voice is in our hands
It has become a solid demand
Think about what causes us to write
Think about how we will continue with Dr. King’s fight
Dr. King fought hard so that races would be recognized
That is enough for us to energize
The mission wasn’t truly complete
History has regained itself with bringing deceit
Slavery was a thing of the past
But the outcome didn’t last
The fog has lifted and we can see clearly now
But today we have a battle and we must show the world how
Speak with positive initiatives
Let your word of voice be like the raw of thunder
But not take cover and hide under
The mirror shows the image of whom we are
Dr. Martin Luther King who took this far
Races that come together are like no other
A separation between
A battle of good and mean
Honor the man who said you are a person
Honor the man who instilled dignity and purpose
Dr. King who died for us
Step up the platform being a must

Being the Star and under the spotlight
I always had the rhythm
But it was a gift being talent

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

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.

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

Wind, Cold, Night, Stars and Snow
Well it amounts to a show
The Forest is all set
However, there will be no need to make a bet
The Christmas trees are all lit up
But the color lights won’t even fit in a coffee cup
The Christmas trees are all in place
But step back so they don’t hit your face
The Christmas trees front and center
Another Christmas tree in formation that enters
They each form a circle
Then go in and out
But the dialog is Christmas that they are dancing about
The Christmas trees blink their colored lights
The top star on the tree shines really bright
It’s the highlight throughout the night
The music being familiar called “Oh Christmas Tree”
Suddenly one Christmas tree was nice, but wanted to be naughty
A wiggle here and a wiggle there
Well can your home Christmas tree compare?
This is the season for well wishes
The Christmas trees extends friendship through their branches
But actually one of the Christmas trees was quite hip
The naughty Christmas tree was the tip
The Christmas trees wish all of you the senses of the joyous holiday seasons
It is all for good reason
One star being one wish
“Peace on Earth”

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.

The balloons will be flying in the air
NBC-TV will be focusing with care
The start of the holidays that will preserver
People will be gathered along the streets
Music and performers adding just the right treat
Floats with theme’s saying Thanksgiving best

Clowns full of laughter preparing up close and personal of the live stage
The public’s captivation of balloons that will be amazed
Confetti in setting the mood
There could be some added surprises that could include
Miracle on 34th Street in making the parade complete
Be Thankful and feel the soothe
Not too far behind, Santa and his reindeer will be making his way
Santa with the jolly and holly for every boy and ******* Thanksgiving Day

But if you have a hatchet, the Turkey will meet his match
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and be safe, and don’t drink and drive being the call.

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

It has been a long journey in the march
The struggles that has kept us apart
Our forefathers lifted their voice to rebuke, which was wrong
This was a battle that was long
Because of this is what kept this nation strong
But the mission isn’t done
Our victory needs too be won
Killings continue for no reason
It doesn’t matter what season
Our freedom is in the Lord’s praise
Our liberties within his amaze
Our voices are the lightening that strikes
We as the multitudes are the might
Don’t let our forefathers fight die in vain
We can’t let the powers that continue this remain
A march of the past in Washington, DC eyes
This has given us wisdom in knowing how to be wise
I see a sunrise, but clouds seem to try to hide
I can’t stand alone, as I am only I
I can’t cry because there is a mission at hand
I stand, as this is God’s command
Deliver us Lord
Show us our own applaud
Lead us beyond our own understanding
Instill the sun as our own shadow of vengeance
Victory can be one
If we as a nation don’t come together, there is no won
You must believe it in order to achieve it
In Jesus name we will receive it
Overcome by being involved
Our mission is to resolve

Mighty sits high
The same powers who looks over you and I
Cry no more as it is victory I saw
Think on our forefather’s efforts
What they saw and established
Stand with me and not against
Stand for reason and not within treason
Stand for race and not erase
Stand for freedom a given right to excel
The stand being solid as a mountain rock
A rock that cannot be moved and this I will tell you the enemy wants to mock
The clock has no limit and can’t be stopped
We as a nation and we shall not stop
Lift fist high in peace on this earth
It’s a new day and a new birth
Walk with me for all too see
We are guided by the Praying Hands of Thee
Our spirits are lifted as one in voices of we
This I know and it shall show
Be lifted and feel inspired
This is a mission and no time to tire
My Brothers and Sisters a time that call for action and redemption
Arms clasped and heads up
We are the world under the spotlight close up
Victory in motion, freedom in observation and reflection of whom we are about
God’s praise with overcome shout
Sing my Brethren
We have everything too gain and nothing too lose
Our future we can’t just refuse
Freedom is a given right to expel what liberties truly mean
Sing on, you know where you belong
Remain focused and together strong

Giving thanks comes to mine in every way
The words full of inspiration
But the enthusiasm eyeing contemplation
Why do I fear my thought?
Perhaps some organizational filing in my mine being sort
I believe in my chosen words

Heaven calls and my soul is lifted up in stride
I hear gongs as my hour is up
I will meet my Lord close up
My flesh has given way
The same flesh will be in the grave too stay
A tombstone bearing my name in honor on that day
The precise of midnight my soul being transcended up
I lived my life on earth
It was my that moment starting from birth
Shield no tears that I am gone
It’s the Lord where I belong
I was just passing through like a short yond
Live your life and don’t weep
My soul is in good hands in Heaven’s keep

It will be a future coming from when
So Heaven has called me home
My spirit in comfort will always roam
A spirits gain with being obedient as a reward

Then remembering walking on a spring day captivated by a pond
Yet time was steadily moving on
Several events took place during 2014
Let’s see and explore
Several Black youth that had been killed
The world is reacting still
GOP now have the house and the Senate
I hate to say but we are in it
The White House was invaded in several situations with intruder’s who had guns on the White House yard
Yet Secret Service didn’t do their job right, and however they did get far
Winter paid an early visit
Weather conditions apply
Now comes the oh my
2014 which is coming to an end
2015 will soon begin
A world is thinking perhaps and possible suppose
While others are ponding on those
Prosperous engraved like a mount
The years past that we can count
Thanks for the experience
2015 will endure endurance
But rest assured
We continued to have life in applause
We must think on new challenges in achieve
Looking to God’s mercy in receive
We must conquer our own redemptions
We must see the right and expel the wrong
Yet we must all remain strong
God’s grace is where we all belong
Let there be peace within our troubled hearts
Let the image be more than reflection in the mark
I pray for a world that will come together in unity
This means around world into every community
Races upon Races uniting as one
End of story and I am done.

LITTLE BOY BLUE

A little boy who was sassy a lot and got whipped in the right spot
His **** would actually turn blue
An on going force that would often pursue
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
Little boy blue’s father had a very heavy hand
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.

The height of a moon in distance one sees
A shade of the moon with an uncertain be
Darkness with the full color of black
Limits of light that has become a lack
But the value of time one can’t look back
Yet the moon darkened with all despair
Clouds disappeared with no band fair
There is a certain caution and warning within beware
Hope being from within
However how does someone live in knowing how to begin?
Heaven is the floor plan
It’s the Lord’s command
One watches and listens
One prays on illustration
Darkened moon plays on one’s soon
The given hour coming at noon
The frustration upon the fear
Hour after hour in what could come near
Once again darkened moon being someone’s spoon
A place being the moment, and the second of revelation
The precise on direct indication and thinking on desperation.

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”.

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

Jesus presence is felt everywhere

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.

His response was, “He was bitten by the hound literally, and travelling by bus became permanent
Riding Willie later suggested, he always had to sit on a mantle at Driving Sam’s house and collect dust

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
Dr. Betty Shabazz travelled the globe in making her agenda clear for Civil Rights change

But let me narrate from begin
Black slaves were sold to work on plantations
Numerous slave ships that would dock in towns being the indication
It was being black a setback
The hanging being a crucifixion
But justice in stating, it was justification
Now Dr. Martin Luther King saw a separation and compression
The world certainly needed education in being a lesson
Dr. King’s heart felt a deep eruption within his soul
It was time for Washington, DC to look and behold
Dr. King felt all races and creeds needed to come together
We were all no difference from the other
Color in variations beyond any casting shades of shadows
Freedom rang it was time for a change
But when Dr. King gathered the nation together under one accord
He was guided by no other than the good Lord
Things were starting to be put into place
That moment no one could erase
Yet when Dr. King was murdered
Uttered sounds became we have loss our voice
As years rolled on, Freedom has become a distant word
Where do we go to be heard?
Today Freedom has been placed into a locked box
Eyes of evil being a keen fox
Hatred has turned into ****
Determination has been defeated with a question of will
Yet the world continues to go on in still
Liberty not being justice for all
In fact, it’s a non-working clock stopping on stall
Aftermath of years being free
Its only sentence’s being a quiet look see
Nations are fighting nations
Boundaries with no solutions
The world is only drawing its own conclusions
No outcome but continued violence
Forces that control are remaining silent
Whatever happened to “My Country Tis of Thee?”
This was in Public School in what they taught me
Sweet land of Liberty
It is now the land of pity
Races against each other
No respect for my Sister and Brother
Freedom is no longer placed at front doors
As a nation we just continue to ignore
The violence needs to end
Come together as a nation in begin
Unless we rearrange there is no change
What negative image is in the mirror things will remain
The Promised Land is where we all need to stand
This was Dr. King’s demand
What really does Freedom hold
Do we continue to fight and **** and act bold?
Freedom means trust and shake my hand and hold
Togetherness is establishment in whole
Freedom, please lead me on

Who says when one is nothing equals nothing?
It only applies if no effort is made
Our heritage Afro American heroes proved one can achieve
It would later be recognition one would receive
Yes, each Afro American Historian had a story
Yet, I got my story
A time to explore, but never ignore
Legacies that have taught a lot
Pure acceleration with no not
More than reading a book, but knowledge beyond one’s depths
I look to the hills and achievement still
Ambition at every will
Achieve and continue to achieve fitting the bill.

MY OWN CHRISTMAS FABLE
preservationman Dec 2014
The Christmas tree being well lit
All the Christmas stockings on the mantle that fit
All the kids asleep in their beds
The Bethlehem star that shines as a beacon being the led
Santa Claus comes from the kitchen being well fed
Santa’s belly that blew up like a balloon
The hour of midnight that was a precise soon
Santa was starting to hum a little tune
A man who wears red and white
Too all the children he knows how to excite
A jolly old man who speaks a multitude of languages in being intercontinental polite
He laughs with a smile like falling snow
It’s the North Pole being the flow
Santa sits by the fireplace
He thinks on his journey being a trace
Santa puts the gifts all under a family Christmas tree
When Christmas morning comes, it will be gifts for all to see
It will be breakfast with the aroma of bacon
Christmas came and went in Santa’s reckon
Santa is on his way back to the North Pole
But he wants everyone to remember the term “Behold”
The birth of a little savior boy
This is a time of a bundle of joy
He will become a man who roams the earth
Through Jesus, the world will have a new birth
Santa says, “Happy Holiday cheer to all and Happy New Year for all too explore”.

Lord, my praying hands raised to you
A troubled world that is leading to its own understanding
Precious Lord, the world needs guidance in how to respect, Judge Not and embrace one another
My prayers extend to Washington itself of our Nation’s Leaders of the same accord
Solvency is a given right
You are the glory that gives light
War in destruction needs to end
Peace and harmony of revival in begin
Yet prophesy is what for told in what was come
Image in the mirror, please make a change
Race wars of hatred not a world you wanted to be
Yet agenda’s is what the world wants to see
The world can’t do it alone
The world needs a foundation in solid strength
But it’s your footsteps in helping the world go the length
I need you to be with world every step of the way
My praise extends high
You have my honor because you are thy
My praying hands in a desperation cry
Lord, please help the world see light beyond the dark tunnel
This I pray Oh Lord in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen!

THE WRITERS ROOM
preservationman May 2014
The windows are shut
The sweat pouring down of no beginner’s luck
It’s a writer’s chronicle
This is the place of writer’s miracles
Papers thrown on the floors
Ideas of theories in not being sure
There are times of inspiration in ready to explore
It’s jolting down a story
Continuing writing with papers full of glory
Then the famous words, “I got my story”
As the wanderer entered the room
It seemed like the warmth of heat being gloom
But looked beyond the gloom and the air seemed to spell doom
Pages became words
Chapter after chapter the dialog could be heard
Unmarked by time
It was the variation that was combined
Out of the writer’s room comes a masterpiece
This is something that inspiration has released
The writer’s room was truly in full bloom.
