DARKENED MOON
preservationman Jul 2015
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.

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”

No need to place a bet
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
Expect nothing being less
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
Then the start of the Christmas shop
Santa’s everywhere will be doing their hop
Credit card bills on their way up
You might need to bring along your tin cup
To everyone out there, don’t try to chase that Turkey
He will be hard to catch
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.

July 4, 2016 having a reason to celebrate
It’s all about Happy Birthday America to administrate
America having tremendous history become from past to present
We are all Americans that represent
The vast landscapes covering this great land
The music from yonder being the caravan
An honor to be an American
The beauty of your mountains
The smiles on American faces
Forefather’s images with capturing traces
My country and I am part of thee
Major cities with skyscrapers that stand all
The remainder of the Statue of Liberty being symbolic for  all
Washington, DC being the lead in America’s Proceed
Everyone helping one another in need
A former Greyhound bus slogan, “Get in touch with America”
But America in us must be participate in what America should be
This is what America is and should be about
There is no test to figure out
The thought of the American Eagle flying with dignity and pride
This is how we as Americans should stride
But explore America and enjoy the ride
The Red, White, and Blue that always comes through
Yet the American Flag always waves with a mission to pursue
America being the forefront as the center of the world
Country after Country with voices that swirl
Yes this is America of the world
My Country Tis of Thee, America the Beautiful and God Bless America
The foundations that have made America strong
Now if we all could just get along
America lets unite
We are the might
Happy Birthday America being the fireworks that shines bright.

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

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.

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!

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

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

THERE ARE TWO BREEDS, WHIPPET AND THE ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS
THE ITALIAN AND GRAY GREYHOUNDS ARE RACING DOGS
WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER DOG IS THEIR SLIM SLEEK BODY AND LONG LEGS
SO THE GREYHOUND DOG IS BUILT TO RUN
IN FACT, THEY ARE CAPABLE IN RUNNING 60 MILES PER HOUR
WE AS HUMANS HAVING ONLY TWO LEGS ARE LUCKY WE CAN MOVE ONE MILE
BUT BACK TO THE GREYHOUND DOG
IT’S ABOUT A RACE
DUST FLYING ALL OVER WITH THE MANUEVERING TRACE
JUST LIKE A HORSE RACE, PEOPLE WAGER THEIR BETS
ALSO LIKE RACE HORSES, THERE ARE MANY GREYHOUND DOGS TO CHOSE ALL WITH IDENTIFICATION NAMES
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE RACE AND AFTER NOW THAT REMAINS
THE GREYHOUND DOG LEGS MOVE SWIFTLY IN PRECISION
THEY CLASSIFIED BY DIVISION
RULES THAT GOVERN ARE PREVISIONS
BUT THE GREYHOUND DOGS HAVE KEEN VISION
SOME PEOPLE ADOPT AS PETS
BUT ANY GREYHOUND DOG IS A WINNER REGARDLESS OF LOSING RACE REGRETS
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY WITNESS A GREYHOUND DOG RACE AT THE GREYHOUND PARK IN DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA
AS I WAS WATCHING, MY GREYHOUND DOG WON, BUT I DIDN’T PLACE A BET
NOW THAT WAS MY ONLY REGRET
THE GREHOUND DOG IS ABOUT SPEED

READY, SET AND GO

Struggles grow really loud
This is what justice has allowed
March on my children and don’t give into defeat
It’s time to move your secrete unquestioned feet
Justice is only won when one stands strong with effort
Washington knows
The civil rights movement was the reality show
March on my children
A work that dr. martin luther king started, but wasn’t able to complete
It’s time to move on in the continued struggle of incomplete
Justice is an ongoing battle and its victory that we seek
We can’t reverse and have a constant repeat
We must bond together as a nation and form a retreat
What matters most is that our voices be felt from coast to coast
We are the world and we shall be heard
Our lips are our uttering words
We have been silent far too long
It’s our footsteps in knowing where they belong
The very steps from the beginning dr. king’s legacy
But it doesn’t stop there
It’s our mission in how we will preserver
Dr. king laid down the floor plan
We are the people that are in demand
It doesn’t matter of race nor color
It’s dr. king who deserves all the honor
It’s time for Washington and the world to wake up
We must all face Washington together being close up
The movement is not done
It won’t be until we have won.

HERITAGE BEYOND THE CLOCK
preservationman Feb 2017
Gather round
It’s time for storytelling
There is much to talk about
However, its February month is a time to honor all Afro American greats
Their strives to educate
Their voices in struggles
Inspiration no matter what
Dr. Martin Luther King
Voice of one having movement being the multitude
The Quest of Equality being solitude
Eubie Blake
My Great Uncle with the musical swing as a Jazz Pianist
Opposition stand back, it’s a new horizon and follow the dance track
Entertain until when
President Barack Obama
The First Afro American of the White House
He will go down in History books for many years to come
George Washington Carver
He was an Inventor and Botanist
Mr. Carver was also a slave
Having soul in his heart and unity from the very start
Numerous other Afro American legacies being their involvement in their own right
The motto for us
A reason to excel
Having a purpose to tell
Educate one’s own mind
Expel in knowledge being teaching
Invent with Urgency
Excellence becoming a commodity
Be absorbed in what you create
Let no boundaries cause you to hesitate
It’s never too late
The sun rises within the horizon
Your name being chosen
Struggles come and go, but movement shouldn’t be slow
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.

FREEDOM TWINKLE STARS
preservationman Nov 2015
A look back into where it all began
It seems even today there is no end
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
Freedom eyes would sure be a welcomed surprise.

One of the sentences that let it be known
Rivalry between I and Y
But somewhere there will be a connection being the try
An idea the Poet never thought about
However, a resolution that will become a shout
The alphabet letter had its place in the Poet’s write
It wasn’t respect in trying to be polite
There was honor in where the alphabet letter would fit in
Well it became a story that began
The wonder of one
Alphabet letter became a sentence being among
As a reader looked on and the captivation to look upon
The inner soul within the spoken thought
It was a theory behind the sought

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.

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”.

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

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 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

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.

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

You can’t win
You are the plight until the very end.

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.

Well Prince Charles was blocked
Yet the audience hasn’t commented being a mock
I do hear cheers in the crowd
But there is still time allowed
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.

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.

preservationman Jul 2015
Putting the Hasbro model together being a snap
You won’t need a thinking cap
It is as easy in reading a destination map
Piece by piece
The instruction being an ace
Product is made in not making a waste
It’s a Hasbro Greyhound Bus
A display that will involve the hobbyist in us
Detail piece upon piece
Bringing it together will be a feast
Fun with anticipation of done
The heart in admiring the Hasbro production bus
The talent in being a preservationist at the hobbyist level
Hasbro being a name for the one who helps create
It has become the moment at the precise date
Fate of production is your Hasbro hands
The after product becoming a display at your own demand.

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.

THANKSGIVING EVE

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.

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.

TRICK AND TREAT
preservationman Oct 2015
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.

A MOMENT TO REFLECT

Thoughts that you forgot
A date that you regret
There’s an idea that needs to be put into effect
The moment is here
A time frame I wish to share
Entertainment knocked at my door
It was my dance technique that I explored
The roar of the applause
My contract having a clause
The spotlight on me center stage
My accomplishment of talent being totally amazed
A time frame to accept
No time to reject
My words you can’t interject
My reflection in what you would expect
My moment being right on schedule
This is my past life being my personal module.

POET VS TEOP

There’s more to a Poet that meets the eye
Poet spelled backwards is Teop and that is why

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

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

Road mighty and king
It was always Greyhound doing its thing
Flashing lights and the stretched hound
Move out the way traffic and move aside, I am Greyhound
Greyhound being America’s Icon
But these days, First Group has became a con
Greyhound has a name that captures hearts being fond
What would happen if Greyhound were no longer on the road?
The sunrise and Sunset would have no behold
It would be a darken highway
No Greyhound seen on any freeway
A sad day with Greyhound losing its bark
But with no bus you will find a place to park
The Go Greyhound could become leave the driving to someone else
So avoid the bus would actually be a fuss
First Group is selling Greyhound being the Parent Throop
Silently and quietly unnoticed scoop
Employees including Drivers have made Greyhound it’s own institution
But I am not making Greyhound a conclusion
Time has a when
Thinking only in assumption of then
Now wait until
Greyhound still has travelling to fulfill
Where there is a way is followed by will
Now no one knows Greyhound’s future outcome
I am not even suggesting Dust in the wind
A Hound Dog will always have victory to the finish, and that is what makes Greyhound so distinguished
So those flashing lights and your acceleration
It’s America saluting you with all your appreciation
Continue to Go and the road is your flow
Go Greyhound and let me lead
Greyhound I want you to continue to proceed
Please don’t become a flood that receded
We need your presence and acceleration in the wind
Your blinking lights that flash every now and then
You are Greyhound because you can
This is not Greyhound’s end.

Dream of buses
The mold of craftsmanship
Honor in the bus name
Destination striving from the heart
Tomorrow’s open road calling
The sun has risen in a new day
Suddenly a bus glistens for all too see
Vintage bus appears
A Bus Pioneer shares his bus storytelling soul
The day he drove and the experience he felt
The dream became a reality
Buses of the past were relived in the present
You never know what bus will pass by
You simply wave and embrace
You think to yourself, “Thank you for showing me the Bus way”
Bus recognition making its mark
Bus collectors are the start
Being the target with precision
Buses seem to know the bus collector’s heart
Remembrance, reflect, imagine and be amazed
Bus Collector’s understanding
Sustaining
A bus collector’s dream come true
You’re the bus truth
Buses are all around you and in you
Pursue with a mission
Stand strong in your commitment
Your involvement is proven
Echoes upon echoes chanting, “Don’t ever let go, Don’t ever let go, Don’t ever let go”
Step aboard the bus, and be inspired
Don’t tire nor expire
This is your moment in time
Buses dream perhaps
Endless road into the mainstream of buses

YOU DON’T CARE
preservationman Jan 2023
I wonder if you really care
Your mannerisms say one thing, but your voice says another
You are all about yourself
No one is an island
I feel isolated within
Your cause is my effect
It becomes a reject
We don’t talk anymore
It seems I have to ask you permission just to have conversation
There is no appreciation
Silence has become a virtue
Our menu has nothing to offer
I feel like I paying a cover charge
I don’t feel free being your companion
For all I know, you might have a trap door
Escape route for your own means
You are acting just like the world with the don’t care attitude
There is no smooth and our togetherness is a conclude
I have put myself on seclude
Our togetherness is not going get it
You are just not fit
I quit
You are not for me being it
I’m out
Goodbye

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
President Obama, you have inspired well
My quest is to tell
But your message, don’t have any fears
Knowing knowledge and education we all should hold dear.

When Mrs. Stanley set out on her own journey, it was the same understanding passed down to her own children
Her words to family and friends, please don’t mourn over me as I am in Heaven’s comfort, a place I want to be
I lived my life under the watchful eyes of the Heaven’s
My legacy being how I lived my life and encouraged others
It was my years under God’s advice
It was able to inspire words that had just the right spice
My life moved with every beat of the drums
It was the fruit of the land being fresh plums
Nature’s own being God’s encouragement
I have seen changes in the world over the years
I reached my fulfillment
One must while one can
It was my life starting from when
Later the closure being the end
Yet this is my final curtain
It is just my legacy being certain
Cry not but look up
You have encouragement from drinking my daily cup
Live on
But I want you all to be strong
Living means survive
This is my life with a big STRIVE
But God’s mercy is how I was able to preserver
I was a moving vessel in marching to God’s beat
Devil tried to attack, but I was able to defeat
My tomorrow was yesterday
My smile described my life which I enjoyed
But now my chariot a waits
I cannot be late
My voice to all of you, “I will be in Heaven awaiting your arrival”
Life may seem short
But it is nothing that you should abort
Live on my children, family and friends
My Love has never stopped
I maybe in Heaven, but my affection still stands in being at the top
I leave you, but it’s not good-bye
I want you all to fulfill your life with every try
Don’t cry

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

Your soul needs an eternal home to rest
Heaven is joyful and glorious which really says it best
However believer is the one that can really confess
Heaven on the line can’t wait
Your anticipation should be running on don’t hesitate
Heaven is definitely a place you would appreciate
Remember Revelations scripture in words in what they say
God’s purpose is too save, and those who believe on the Lord shall not perish
Yet Evildoers shall receive the raft of fire unless you repent
Ashes to ashes in where one’s spirit went
But it is the glorification that one should desire
We are all God’s servants and he is the empire
Prosper in the honor of the Lord
Then your heart will swirl
Watch the skies as they change
I am the Heaven and I am the power to rearrange.

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.

Make sure you have everything you need
This is a precaution outside if you decide to proceed

The icy cold winds that will blow
Remember to take it slow
Snow that will be hitting your face
Your footsteps that follow will be your trace
Like snot or not
This is God’s control and no one can stop
Sanitation will be hard at work
Sit back and have a sip of wine and just pull the cork
While the snow falls, lie down and think back on snow when you were a kid
Remember that giant snowman and how you hid
Then throwing snowballs which you did
Nonetheless the snow is on its way
I guess the message is for this weekend to just stay in
Let your saving money begin

From that point, I got understanding and became wise
Hate all you want

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

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

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".
