PRESENCE
preservationman Mar 2014
The body of another
The outer world of the other
An eerie of a once tomorrow
An aftermath of a soul loss in sorrow
The presence from within the house
Winds blew all the furniture around
It was the multitudes of sounds
The solitary of a solid bound
Windows were torn open
The spirit upon
A sinister one
Voices echoing through the walls
Motionless foot steps in a stall
Screams above screams
The Demon has taken over someone’s soul
Life will be unto Hell
It’s the fire being the tell
The burn of flesh
When there is nothing left
The Demon shouted, “This soul belongs to me”
It will be an inner force for all to see
The force you have no fight
You can’t win
You are the plight until the very end.
SUBCONSCIOUS OF THE MIND AND THE INNER BODY THAT COMES FORTH
preservationman Nov 2015
Hold on to your boot’s as there is a story with a toot
A mystery that came at night
A surprise being a sight
A Christmas tree that was given new life
It seemed the winter feel being just the right spice
How fitting and nice
The Christmas tree was always decorated and still
But the holiday reel in the Christmas tree move
It danced in the forest with the varying colorful lights that sure did soothe
While you are supping on your hot chocolate and feeling smooth
The top of the tree having a star pulsating like a beacon
It was for good reason
Look kids a tree with its own tone
The winter winds that blow
The Christmas tree is letting itself be known and shown
Not only did the Christmas tree, but also became friends with Frosty the snowman
They teamed up and danced throughout the community
Their mission was to bring in the unity
What a start and a story that doesn’t need to end
The holiday feel and the goodness from within
Let us all gather around the Christmas tree and see carols
It’s the holidays, and you are never alone, and the Christmas tree and Frosty predict you will never ever be alone
Hold that thought, I have just been hit with a snowball and the Christmas tree and Frosty want to play
I just through a snowball back being my relay
Before I join the fun, we are almost about done
Where did all the time go?
I am glad we spend a moment together sharing in on the flow
Christmas comes only once a year
Let’s enjoy and have no fear
A little babe will always be near
Tomorrow was actually yesterday
But everyday in living is ok
I say be true to an open heart
I see your snow walking footprints
On behalf of the Christmas tree, Frosty and myself, we wish you and yours Seasons Greetings
Cheers!

As I entered the Dark Living Room
I felt my life was living a violet storm
Streaks of lightening were my sustaining struggles
The Thunder being my voice in being upset
Tears poured beyond being an endless soul
A world that continues to revolve
But when will my troubles become my resolution
I am drinking wine from sunrise to sunset
I have become a Gambler and placing many bets
It doesn’t get any better, in fact, the worse it gets
I am slowly reaching rock bottom
A surface with no understanding
A darken sun with no reflection
A shadow no one sees
I am loss in a circle spin that doesn’t end
A spotlight shines with a familiar voice
I am being given alternatives as a choice
A Heavenly phrase, “Live in me being everlasting”
I must search deep and pray in my Inner soul
Suddenly a reason to live, stand up and see behold
I had raised my arms up in praise
I saw God’s mercy and his amaze
I throw out all the whisky bottles
My despite had brought me to new light
There was no absolutely no reason for me to feel uptight
Heaven showed me the way
I will follow continuously every day
Let the truth be told as I testify
Heaven is worth an opportunity, but all you have to do is try
When the going gets tough, and you feel you had enough, call on the Devil’s bluff, and pray and let the Lord say it is truly enough.

Songs upon endless Songs
A Woman who illustrated fame
I am talking about Aretha Franklin that’s her name
Her life spans the globe
Ms. Franklin’s singing talent was a blessing starting in Church
Praises and Glory would be from the congregation
But it was the Lord’s name in appreciation
Yet Ms. Franklin’s honor followed and blossomed through the roots of her entertainment life
It was her music full of establishment and devoted commitment
Ms. Franklin’s singing even caught the attention of the White House
She sang with Pride and Dignity at President Obama’s Inauguration
Ms. Franklin’s singing was pure inspiration
But too the world it was total appreciation
But Heaven called Ms. Aretha Franklin home
It was her moment from Earth to come to Heaven to roam
Ms. Franklin was marveled with everyone she came in contact with
But now she will be communicating with Moses, Joseph, Paul, Isaac, Jacob and David
Ms. Franklin will be walking with the Biblical Greats
Heaven welcomed and the gates were opened in appreciate
So Heaven called and Ms. Franklin entered in
A soulful life that will begin
This is not Goodbye, but until we meet again
Heaven maybe so far away, but Ms. Franklin will always be in our hearts, but one day, a personal home we will all stay
Ms. Franklin will state upon your arrival, “Do you remember me”
You won’t have to think, but you will certainly see
You have inspired the world
Our hearts just swirl
Until last time, sing on as you are Heaven’s own and for all of us to come together in embrace and while on Earth get along.

A Route having its own theory in mind
Every off ramp with many possibilities combined
The road detours force you to have an alternate plan
A detour being a roadblock in what you have no choice but too accept
Also, were you paying attention to the signs in having an understanding being your own kept
Yet many signs being your reading bout if you have destination truly mapped out in your drive
This is how a road trip starts in helping you strive
Think of the road being a road map you thought you knew
It was your keen planning in what you had to pursue
A road can only take you if you know exactly where you are going
The road to be, and your driving assignment in your understanding in what you will see
It means the road is not just a straight line, but your turning point ion knowing where to turn off at the off ramp
But it is the complete understanding being your thorough amp.

THE WORD CALLED RESPECT
preservationman May 2015
The rush is on
The problem being, we don’t know how to get along
We push people out of the way
We think that method is certainly ok
But this happens every day
We don’t take time out
We keep moving and being about
We don’t be polite when we bump into each other
It’s oh well as it is just another
A simple please and thank you goes a long way
Don’t get me started, as there is a lot I could say
But life goes on
However, we must be able to get along
Respect goes far beyond in what we have been taught
It’s every day thinking sort
But think on this phrase, “Respect is and attitude is not. We all live and breathe on this earth. We were put here with a purpose and not one’s own understanding. Appreciation in thanks, but not thinking within your own ranks”.

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.

FIRING LINE
preservationman Oct 2015
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.

THE CHAPTER OF ONE
preservationman Apr 2015
It was a sunrise in my eyes from a yond
A new day for me to respond
My dream of a sparkling clear pond
My life to look upon
It was a day to begin
A whole day at the very end
It was my usual routine
Breakfast of course being full of protein
My hair had to have the right sheen
Then it would be off to work on the bus
I had to be on time being a must
I would be busy at my desk
Watching the clock would be my confess
Later another work day that would be complete
Before I would go home, I would stop at a bakery for a treat
Well the sun is starting to go down
I am on the bus homeward bound
I am in my bed fast asleep not hearing a sound
Well Good night being the sight and off with the lights
Now into the darkness and sleep tight.

An idea I have to make new
The inspiration being the clue
Change serves many purposes
But that is something that is obvious
What can be established can also be rearranged?
Here we are back to change
The mission of effort, desire and determination
However careful research being like education
Effort of a movement stride
Thought as an idea sought
Action with a mission needing to be established
Victory with an on track resolution
Change being the key word as a solid definitely
Observation with revision
Understanding within reason
Excel forwarding to achieve
Delete aspect of deceive
Change is what it states
Theories in how they relate
It’s simply a matter in how to participate
The bulls eye in precision aim
Think on how change will come
Think on how change will affect
Your organizational flowchart being your own elect
Change can come at a moment’s notice
Change starts with us
It becomes a must
As a true community there must be trust
We are the answer to the call
As the multitudes we stand for all.

TURKEY CONFERENCE

We the Turkey’s have a crisis
Every Thanksgiving it is always the same, our meat is priceless
Thanksgiving is coming, and we will be set on dinner tables
As Turkey’s, we are forced in able
It’s the same old routine
We are the Butterball’s at every call
Ovens take effect, but as Turkey’s we can’t stall

As the Ax in someone’s hand would be moving swiftly about
My suggestion, let’s attempt to push for the Ham’s taking on the task
Now Thanksgiving is only days away, and we must work fast
We shouldn’t be even considered for Thanksgiving
We can thank the Pilgrim’s for that
True with fact
All family household Forks and Knives ready and holding steady
We Turkey’s are fed up
This year no Turkey detail
We will not be stuffed
Enough is enough
It’s time for us Turkey’s to rebel
We don’t have much time
We must have a strategy in place
Otherwise, dinner tables we will us face to face
Let’s protest
This is our right to confess
Who cares about ovens?
We as turkey’s, we must survive
So Turkey’s unite
All family households are in for a fight
We can’t let this be our plight
This is our showdown

Well it’s finally Thanksgiving eve
I am surely relieved
I will be away from the job
Yet I will be out with the travelling mob
The weather seems to have a wintry mix
I am looking for good weather to be a fix
It was a Thanksgiving eve with the traffic flow
Seeing thousands of people in travel in their go
There were many departures and arrivals
More than a tail and that’s no jive
One leaves with destined to arrive
Happy Thanksgiving to all and take in all in your stride
However, don’t drink and drive.

The vision of Santa being a Christmas Tree
The tree having smiles of jolly He He
This is children’s delight
The Santa tree having all the color that makes it a sight
All the sparkle that shine bright
Santa’s long white beard being extending in leading the ensemble to the Christmas Tree
A Santa train moving from top to bottom in and out while puffing smoke all about
A springle of snow that just shoots out from the tree
This will be a Christmas to not forget for all to see
Then having the North Pole sitting at the top of the tree
Rudolf pops out to give Christmas wishes
Then the Christmas tree makes a turn into a waltz
Standing superior being the Santa Christmas tree
The Santa Christmas tree being admired
A child’s heart feeling inspired
An atmosphere of pure excellence
The beauty being magical in significance
What more can Christmas be?
A child awaits Santa’s arrival and Christmas morning for all gifts to see
But let’s not forget what Christmas is all about
It’s the baby Jesus being the shout
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL
DASH AWAY DASH AWAY BEING SANTA’S CALL.

I REMEMBER WHEN
preservationman Sep 2016
I went to a Greyhound Dog Race
The dogs were so fast I couldn’t keep up the pace
It was Daytona Beach, Florida
A place where Greyhound Dog races are known
Those Greyhound Dogs were always ready to run
But it was in betting fun
Some one would let the mechanic Rabbit loose
Then out the starting gate the Greyhound dogs would be as quick as a flash
The precision in dash
A race around the whole track
Front and back in leading the pack
Dust flying in the sir
The clock is ticking, but always having time to spare
Suddenly the winning Greyhound Dog would be announced
People often placed bets
Sometimes the winnings assured in being set
The Greyhound Dog standing in victory
As they say, the rest is history.

Poetry is here to stay
People are writing each and every day
Emotions are being expressed in verses every step of the way
This is a reason to be excited
Every hour and minute, a poem is being recited
Words connecting with each thought
Writing and thinking being like a battle in fought
It’s the computer keyboard with the hands and passing suggestions at demand
Words to you
Continue encouragement in poetry to pursue
This is a time not to stop
Your poetry is calling and it’s a hard knock
Write on
No time to yond
Your poetry write is what you should look upon
So long for now
Start writing and continue being inspired during your moment of while.

It’s Halloween in the October wind
Being scare in a ghosts begin
Eye of creators from various molds
Eerie stories that will be told
As the moon grows dark
It’s costumes that will be making their mark
But don’t look now as the sun has gone down
Hungry tots and kids who will beg
An Evil Pirate who only has one peg leg
Halloween is about sharing and caring
There will be much to explore
Happy Halloween I just couldn’t ignore
A knock at the door
Who is behind it but no one is really sure?
The spirits have returned, but don’t open the door
Your soul has been chosen, and an event will take place
The candy will be closing in and the neighborhood Dentist will have a chore to step in.

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.

The portrait being my Grandmother being a strong woman while she lived
She was a woman who had life appreciation and who would give
Her portrait being my own inspiration
My remembrance be her admiration
Every day my talent in my hands
It all came from God’s caravan
I am thankful throughout the land
I am that creator that you see
I am everything that I am supposed to be
My moment in design
My assurance in what can be created coming from thine
Talent among talent
My testimony I just couldn’t keep being silent.

Deep concentration from Prince Charles on his next move
The stakes are high with everything to prove
Prince Charles made his move too a well chosen Chess spot
But it is up to the poor citizen if he can top
The clock is ticking with not much time to spare
Sweat and nervousness has taken place, but movement must be made with care
Tension and tempers are way up
But the Royal Family and a poor need a struck of luck
Suddenly commotion calmed down
No one was making a sound
The poor made the right winning chess move
Both Royal and poor had everything to prove
But the poor won out
However, Prince Charles was a good sport that everyone will be talking about
United Kingdom in having their day
Both parties proved they were champions in every way
But the poor became the proud finish that will stay.

A High School Female Spanish Teacher told my Mother at Parent and Teacher Day I wasn’t college material
She was speaking really on her own assumption
Could it be she felt afraid I would succeed?
The fact I made the Dean’s list in college shows inspiration and dedication to achieve
Also not listing to the High School Teacher in being deceived
Determination is the true effort
No one knows better than one’s self
The person is the true testimony like nobody else
I remember my mother stating, “I am going to make my Son college material”
I proved the High School Spanish Teacher wrong
College was where I belonged
The lectures opened my mind
The theories with logical approaches combined
Understanding with having a will
Above all deleting negativity
I became a college graduate while thinking positively
People don’t always have your best interest
Desired and success goes along way, but it is up to the individual in having the words to say
“Never give up nor give in”
Let knowledge fill your cup
Encourage yourself and move forward
Success is about looking upward
No matter what anybody says, “You are you, and you know about what you must do to achieve”
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
“Knowledge at any level and you are included and not being secluded".

Distance in an instant
Reflect and recline back
Rail and Airlines can get a fund
But Buses are left out not being among
Buses have been moving America more than you know
But you seem you just want to let go
Buses support communities and I am not talking about cities
Passengers depend on the bus because Rail and Airlines don’t go direct
So buses do have and add to the travel effect
Buses support highways I daily travel
So how noble
Now buses are the only magic carpet being destination direct
Again, buses do have that effect
Buses are more than just wheels that roll
It’s the pride and honor in Motor Coach Driving Engineers who take hold
Safety being the number one priority
So bus travel dependability being a reality
Long before trains and air, buses were the backbone roads that started in encouraging people to travel by bus
It’s not a fuss it was a plus
As the parade of buses embark upon Washington, DC, it is a message to keep motor coaches striving
As the buses honk their horns in your city, it is all about Unity
“Buses Move America”
I hope the message will move into you Senator’s heart, and think twice that buses should be funded as well
The results are strongly depended at the Nation’s Capitol
Please sign the Motor Coach Bill
Don’t let buses be a road ****
So Senators, please make it your will
Without buses and drivers, bus companies will be non-existent
Think on the time of your Greyhound and Trailways ride
Think on the scenery you encountered as America passed by
It was a memorable travel experience
Now take that experience and let Motor Coaches Continue to Move America into tomorrow
Please don’t let it be sorrow
All it takes is a sign
I hope you will consider and be kind
Now buses deserve all the recognition and that would be fine.

A blessing with an accord
Now this a cruise passenger ship, and we should not be bored
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.

JESUS IS MY BOSS
preservationman Sep 2015
No worries in being unemployed
Working for the Lord with continuous praise and joy
The Lord Boss perks always being under God’s care
He is the Lord for all to share
No worry in a job being outsourced
The Lord being the superior one with the only force
Yet the spirituality is a feeling beyond compare
I don’t mind working overtime
Because I am involved with the Lord’s blessings combined
God’s power that will stay with me
It is something my fellow Christians shall see
I don’t have to think on man’s corporate name
Because God is the one with the name and is fame
My health care under God’s complete control
If I get sick I will be the witness of look and behold
My Boss being the Lord and not man himself
Man thinks only about himself
God is not like everybody else
My Boss being the Lord knows how to teach and extend knowledge
The voice of Heaven in have you heard
Opportunity being a privilege
Promotion in fairness served only by the Lord
The value of compensation needing no charge in praising our Lord
Just stand back and watch as God helps to preserver
He is the protection when the enemy wants to come near
A Heavenly Boss I appreciate, and as a servant I will always participate.

A MOTHER’S ROLE
preservationman May 2017
The word Mother goes far beyond the name
A Mother having a child goes into while
Responsibility begins from day one
But remember, a Mother’s chore is never done
Yet Grandmother’s role are always needed in being among
Mother’s provide the survival kit lesson
Understanding being the main key word
Discipline is the criteria in the Child’s respect to one’s Mother
Mothers are the love
That’s with anything to think of
For example, when a child runs into a plight
Its Mother’s to the rescue to shed some guiding light
A Mother’s theory in never lose sight
Mother’s illustrate the struggles of life a child must go through
Defeat challenging the conquest
Mother’s often telling a child to never settle for less
But always function at your best
Child, Mama’s love will never end
You have been taught to live with begin
Nothing in life is every easy
A Mother response, so baby wake up from your yond
You go living to do in looking upon
I taught you well
The world will be able to tell
Even when Mother is gone
I want you to continue to live and get along
Don’t forget the Almighty above
Mothers are your start and adulthood is Mama’s achievement
Generation to Generation, Mother’s tips passed on
The creation of the foundation that is strong
A true Mother only knows, but its understanding being the flow
A Mother’s love always sustain
Responsibility in life is what will remain
A Mother’s heart is a child’s love.

In every kid’s heart
It’s the stars that shine joyous bright
But it’s Christmas Eve Night
There’s a child’s smile
It’s a wonder during while
As Santa prepares
The Holiday Season is in the air
Santa will once fly in the air
The chimney Santa will come down
Being silent and trying not to make a sound
The reindeer will remain on each houses top
Timing precise
Cookies left for Santa with the flavor of spice
Now the kids know how to treat Santa nice
Santa will place all the toys and assortment gifts
He is no stiff, but he will be swift
Then Santa will sail into the night
Another year being another flight
Then disappear totally out of sight
The kid’s will wake up Christmas morning and rush to the Christmas tree
Kids will be all cheer
The dawn’s upcoming sun
Merry Christmas and thanks for being among.

Toy buses roamed throughout the house
They even scared a Cat and a Mouse
The toy buses maneuvered around every Christmas tree
It’s enthusiasm that involves you and me
Some toy buses were Red like a Cherry
But it is the thought in being Merry
Some of the toy buses were heavy, and others light as a feather
They were in different designs all put together
The toy buses that lit up
I was drinking Eggnog in my cup
We are Bus Collectors in every way
It doesn’t matter what day
Santa decided wearing his Red and White, I will let buses guide me tonight
Their headlights will lead the way
Unfortunately, the Reindeer will be at home to stay
So as I prepare for Christmas Day
Don’t lose the enthusiasm, and don’t let your buses go astray
Buses bring us Joy while we are at peace
Being festive at least
So as Christmas Eve leads into the night
Let it be Silent Night
Buses now and forever
Dream of buses and think on the design
Happy Holidays with Joy and Peace combined
The toy buses have all rolled out

Here is what you will be bidding for
A curtain opens and the prize the contestants and audience always saw
The bids would be on
Come on down
What constitutes with the above saying?
Why it’s “The Price Is Right”
The Host was the one and only being the original, Bob Barker
Unfortunately, Bob Barker died at 94
Television personality no one can ignore
Prices, Prizes and of course some contestant losses
But Bob Barker brought life into the game show
There is no thought in the Price Is Right being an all though
However, Bob Barker lived a long life
We can reflect back
I know fans can follow the Price Is Right being the track
However, Bob Barker was called home
Heaven has a new Price Of Right where Mr. Barker can roam
The Price being no debt as it was already paid
The connection was made from Heaven to Mr. Barker in relay
Thanks Mr. Barker for your enlightenment with a smile
Getting us to cheer being your style
You lived your life during while
Achievement after achievement being rewards that pile up
But where there is a price comes first with life
Where there might be a struggle comes advice
I know Mr. Barker you are rejoicing in Heaven’s rewards
The pearly gates were opened for you
You simply walked through
A price that can only be a past
Acceleration with time moving fast
The thought of Price of Right bidding being the preserver
My heart will always have your soul near.

An unfamiliar voice echoes out
From the distance it sounds like a shout
I am quite sure you don’t know what I am talking about
The name of Tony was a spoken call
But all I could do was put my steps in a stall
Yet the name was still in a call
It was a voice I didn’t recognize
But the voice sounded organized
Later I had an idea it was the Lord educating me in become wise
I thought to myself
I am the only one on the street
My mind must be playing tricks
Perhaps my thoughts were basically stuck on strict
Yet knowledge seemed to pop into my head
I had received understanding being stead
The voice was definitely from Heaven
I am a witness and it happened at seven
As I walked on
It was knowledge all along
A voice from a far
You can’t get there by car
But it was the Heavens among the stars
Then an unforgettable theme, “ Man Makes Promises, but it is Jesus that gives results”
That theme I will never forget
You see, I have a calling on my life
Preaching God’s word with the praising strife
My testimony being very clear
This is something my heart holds dear
Lord, help me understand where knowledge flows
Where Heaven is, I want to go.

Run Turkey Run
Don’t even go on a prowl
Turkey knife
No cut
No Cook
No seasoning
This Turkey is running for its very life
I am not stopping to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade
This is living that needs to be made
No stuffing
No eating from this turkey, and if you are disappointed, tough
Enough is Enough
If meat is what you want, try duck
I will not be plucked
You are out of luck
I am running as far as I can go
When I become breathless, I will move slow
For now, I am on deadline time and all systems go
Eventually, my turkey legs will thump me for a ride by way of hitchhike
Being a Turkey, I am expected to be polite
I am in a plight
Turkey run on never to be done
I want to live among
I am running anywhere from any oven
I will never be an outdoor cook out
Speedily and Steadily heading about
Give yourselves thanks
This turkey is on the move
No catch me if you can
This Turkey is never on when
What meat will you serve that will be something for you to prove
I am on sooth
Happy Thanksgiving and Turkey legs just move

Congressional stuck at the bend
Now when and how long will this Government shutdown end?
Eyes of America wondering when
Immigration being the top discussion
But it seems immigration has became more of a percussion
Republicans want their way
The Democrats are saying not on this day
This is where we all need to pray
Some Government services will seem to stop
Protestors in force making their voices with a mock
It will be a moment being a long wait
A mourning being a fate
The thought for Heaven’s sake
Being wise in knowing no need to apologize
But when it comes to our President it becomes a definition of realize
What was Washington, DC thinking?
No plan with a strategy
The nation is placed on still with reality
Government shutdown bound
Listen no sound
Now how long will this Government shutdown last?
There’s an uncertainty with no vote to cast
House of Representatives think on the situation fast
The nation has many questions to ask
Remember Election time when you lose your seats
The nation will remember in who bowed to defeat
A President who decided to retreat
The nation being stuck in between at beat
House of Representatives what is it you seek?
A nation suffers
Will the nation ever recover?
Capitol Hill being the bill
But the nation is wondering still
A shutdown with no movement bound.

ONE SINGLE SHOT
preservationman May 2015
A young man who loss his Mom
He mourned his Mother in thinking he was all alone
If his Mother was alive who was a Church worshipper, she would have stated, “God will always be at your side no matter what”
He will even see you through any consequence when you think you are stuck
Yes Mama has gone home
But you stay in the church and don’t you roam
The Church is where you need to be
God is the one too whom you need to see
“When you think you are along, the Lord will encourage you and letting it be known”
You might think you are alone because there is no one physically there
Yet it is that quiet with no movement beyond compare
God is for all and it’s his abundance within share
As he is the only one that really cares
As you walk and talk
As you praise and sing
The whole process is too be inspired
Alone being a short phase
But this I all part of God’s amaze
So when you think you are alone, it will always God in letting it be known
Alone in your mind, God’s resources of assurance of everlasting in  being combined.

This was a contest that I just couldn’t refuse
You had to name a city in a picture
The answer was St. Louis, Missouri
Image winning first place

The Daily News called and asked for Mr. Blake
My Grandfather answered the phone, and thought they were calling him
Well as it turned out, it was me the New York Daily News was calling about
However when my Grandfather said he wasn’t well and I wasn’t around in tell
I told my Grandfather, “You made me miss my Paris in advance”
Now I have loss my chance
It would have been all expenses paid

No a la Carte, a la mode and certainly n o Allons-y!

A THOUGHT OF JESUS CHRIST
preservationman Aug 2017
A man so Mighty and Meek
Picks us up when we are weak
Salvation is what one should seek
Salvation is eternal year after year and week after week
Jesus is the creator being the miraculous
Some people think it is a theory ridiculous
A world for Earth that was meant to be
The wonders that surround for all too see
Take a moment and give Jesus praise
The miracles being God’s amaze
There will be times for sorrow and joy
Its Struggles make one strong and increases Faith
This is where prayer becomes your sincere voice, “FATHER IN HEAVEN”
But prayer is Day, Noon and Night
Yet I hear the saints marching in singing, “DON’T LET GOD CATCH WITH YOUR WORK UNDONE”
Death didn’t hold Jesus down
That’s our inspiration for being Heaven bound
Hallelujah will be the sound
Heaven being a far off place
Everlasting being the trace
Merciful being the Father
The Devil wants God’s people to have a setback
But Jesus says stay the course being a track
The Devil deserves one big smack
Let Jesus be your guide
It’s that assurance being what Jesus will provide
No need to try to hide
Give Jesus praise and let it be your stride
Glory to his name and it’s about Heaven right on target being the aim.

Our own adventure being our own slew
One’s laughter and cries within suspense
Up close and personal

Sharing and caring with generosity to give
Scripts with lines after lines
Actors and Actresses with memorizing in mine
So many channels to chose
Enough activity to keep you entertained
A program that caught your attention and what will remain
Our own front row seat
Inside the television that can’t be beat
We must be extremely quiet and not be thrown off the set
But we are actually there and become our own good bet
Now you see what performers go through to catch our eyes
Yet don’t take for granted
The television and our journey through the airwaves
I ask that everyone please behave
The television has become our friend
Our journey is about to come to an end
Just around the bend
You are now back too your living room where it all began
The sponsors are ready to advertise and they can begin.

MOTIVATIONAL POKE

Too sit or get up
Too try or never start
Achieve or be deceived
Be uptight or at ease
Theories are components of these
You are constant thinking and wondering
But have ever saw your own excel
Your moment is now in being tell
You have the power from within to do whatever talent’s that have been provided with too actually do
You are the data not of an advanced computer input
Your mind has captured your own technology of yesterday that was
Your ideas centered on your thoughts being its own information insight
Perhaps I am being respectful and polite
I want you to look within a light bulb and see your brightness that is
All coming from within
Later it will be moving on to then getting you to think on when
No one can hold you back only if you allow
But the mission is you must know how
Many choices at your command
It just takes endurance with the creative flow being your hands
Your voice, words and creativity in what the world hasn’t seen
Your destination asking you on where have you been?
Set out and tell the world what you are all about
Amazement will come and you being the shout out
How you plan it out
This is something I talked about
I wanted to motivate
Encourage you to participate
Showing you how theories all relate
Then go out and prove in what you can illustrate.

You are so full of hate
You don’t know the meaning of participate
Yet you step back and can’t relate
You seem to hate me
But what could it possibly be
You see I am positive in what you see
Could it be the fact because I ignore
But you are uncertain and not sure
Hate is a horrible word
I guess you just want to be heard
Hate seems to be your daily task
But you questions but are afraid to ask
You wonder how do I continue to communicate?
I actually know how to relate
It was a time the Lord opened my eyes
From that point, I got understanding and became wise
Hate all you want
You just want attention to rant
Life is too short to listen to neg
The world continues to move on
It’s my own personal change of pace in where I belong
Peace comes from within and is only established then
You must learn how to get to when
Fulfillment comes at the very end
Hate doesn’t stop me on living
It’s those ongoing above praises that keep on giving.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

A name as a middle being “Featherson”
Manu people have general middle names, but prior my name was out of the ordinary
A middle name I will never ever use
In fact, it was a name that I totally refused
I don’t know what my Father was thinking of
If I went through life with a middle of Featherson
That is the reason when I was 15 I had my name changed
I didn’t want the Featherson to be in between
Too some people I am being just mean
My original name was Anthony Featherson Brown
Today I am Anthony Charles Blake
I am named after my Grandfather and a Celebrity Star
So what’s in a name?
It all depends if your middle name won’t make you feel shame
It’s your heart in what will remain
A name that you were born with, then later as different name waking up from a yond.

Destined for Glory
Inspiration being my story
A Young Striving black man
The name of Barrack Obama who made history throughout this land
He studied in what he needed to know
A lot of people were skeptical and said so
But Harvard opened the Future President Obama’s eyes
It became apparent, and became the United States surprise
Obama’s voice with a Civil Rights approach
Yet a man with culture and finesse being no joke
Chicago made Obama the Senator in being anonymous
Details, Details, Details
But Senator Obama wanted to do more for the country he loves, the United States
Yet his wife, Michelle Obama has style and grace
The team together of Barrack and Michelle being a duel having an inspiration trace
Planning was put into the works in campaigns in winning the Presidency
Years became months
It was that vital day being Election Day
Votes were counted and it added up to victory being for the first black American President of Barrack Obama
What started as fours years extended into Eight Years being at the White House
President Obama’s mission had many hurdles overcome in standing with Congress
But President Obama didn’t take in as defeat, but saw a challenge
Education and Motivation was his mentor in how he would succeed
Later having a theory in how he would proceed
Negativity hanging over like questionable skies, but every step for America was President Obama’s good deed
President Obama will now pass the torch
He achieved and now part of American’s history as well as Afro American History
From the Afro American Museum of Culture and History, “This is President Obama, I’m Out
Positive Milestones after milestones that no one will forget
Some American’s regret
While others have their opinions of elect
President Obama never wondered during while
That just wasn’t President Obama’s style
President Obama will walk out of the White House with dignity and pride
His Head will be up and it was God to whom I abided
It was written in Heaven’s name
You lived up to victory and we must stand up in the continuing battle being tomorrow’s history
Inspired I am
My could being I shall
My effort being I will
My thought is don’t stand still
My accomplishment looking at succeed

But your message, don’t have any fears
Knowing knowledge and education we all should hold dear.
