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.

Recently covering at my Fortune 500 Corporate Headquarters on the Executive Floor
There were some changes to what used to be a hand code
Now there is a card which only one person has
However what makes this so bizarre, I am working in the mailroom and, I must walk all the way to the front so the person with the card can see my face in the camera in order to buzz me in when the card person is available
But wait, there’s more
The reason for all of this because the security card person states, “She read somewhere a CEO was attempted to be kidnapped and killed, and that is the reason for this sudden change
But it doesn’t stop there, and it gets even more interesting
I was told today that if there’s a fire, and the Executives need to get out, there is a door, but blocked by a wall. The person holding the security card can get hammer to knock down the wall so the Executives can escape
I hope the Executives will be wearing a cape
Also not act like an ape
It would take the strength of Thor’s hammer to tear down that wall
But the question being, why have a wall to block in the first place
It sounds more like a lot of waste along with haste
This was my day and what more could I say?
After this day, it’s back to my regular location to stay
Then back to my location to start another day.

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!

An alphabet letter that felt all alone
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
The beauty of what was created being the recognition
A Poet who became inspired
Hours into days of continued write and not tire
But it was one letter that didn’t give up and didn’t expire.

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.

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.

THE SERMON ABOUT SACKCLOTH
preservationman May 2015
People are not people that you would seem
In fact, it is false truth going extreme
Salvation that some people don’t believe in
A new evil phase that would surely amaze
Sackcloth prophets trying to corrupt people’s minds
Having people thinking that Sackcloth believe in God’s word
Now listen carefully as I want to make sure I am being heard
Yet the Sackcloth is trying to out rank the true God
But it is up to the believer in being strong and holding truth to God’s word
The truth not being a lie
A lie becoming a numerous alibi
It means seeing right through the cloth of the true image of deceit
But it is the truth from Heaven in giving Sackcloth defeat
They can’t box with God
Words that only deny and it is only the Sackcloth in giving falsehood a try
They want to ponder in their own wonder in what they think they know
However, the Sackcloth can’t look you directly into your eye because there is no truth too their own why
What matters to the Sackcloth in words being final
However, they want to fool the believer in thinking the Sackcloth is for eternal
Yet they are stuck within their own funnel
The Sackcloth is only functioning on idle and ample
It is just that simple
Believe in truly what God’s scripture says
Taken in all the Heavenly ways
Let the Sackcloth keep deceiving and watch as they shorten their days.

My destiny in the right direction
You are my personal selection

Tomorrow is another day
I want another date so what do you say?
My love is not a moment

Cracked mirror with ridges of anger
Raft with scars for revenge
Decay of the spirit
The split heart
Keenness of evil wit
Echoes upon echoes of sounding death
Lightening expels throughout the skies
Souls having no bodies
Angry Gods with a raging voice
Destruction among the living
The bones that casted into ashes
Flesh of no more

The clock has stopped
Earth trembles as an individual planet
Sorcery walks the land
Evil will scorn
Magical powers beyond mordel
Revenge with terror up in ashes
Tomorrow not having a day
It’s evil controlling the relay.

Poetry is literature to appreciate
It is not about abbreviate
Words having sentences to express straight out
The response from the reader being a joyful shout
The Poet being true to their words
As Poet’s, it is a matter in wanting to be heard
Poet’s want to capture the reader’s open heart
The factor in Understanding
Poetry is a reader’s surprise
It’s literature that no one really realized
Poetry has been written since the beginning of time
Just like a Novel, Poetry has impact
Almost like a magnet, one is drawn into Poetry words
This is makes the Poet in what was in the inner soul
To the reader, it becomes a behold
Hope becomes believing
Poets are writers in what the reader is receiving
Sentences in dramatics full of emotions
The beauty of inspiring words, but the reader is actually taking in words in. This is the start in how Poetry begins.

This is a precaution outside if you decide to proceed
Remember to bundle up
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

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

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”.

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.

THE LIFE OF BROADWAY

But for a moment, what if there wasn’t any Broadway
Imagine no music, audience and no Theaters
Hear the silence of no entertainment
But reality, the excitement of Broadway that is still here
It’s alive and kicking
Oops, I accidentally kicked someone in the ****
That is what you get when you are eager to perform
I read the book, “The Secret Life of the American Musical, How Broadway Shows are Built by Jack Viertel
Jack Viertel is the Senior Vice President of the Jujamcyn Theaters and operates Five Broadway Theaters
He has several Tony Awards for many productions on Broadway and New York’s City Center
Production is what brings Broadway to life

Yet before any show even thinks in coming to Broadway, there must be a planning stage at the beginning
The Process goes into Costumes, Props, Special Effects, Dance Numbers and Script Writing
The Costumes have to be fitted just right and shoes, Music fitting the Theme of what the Broadway play is about
The Props must compliment the stage with all the Spotlights and Color
There must be Dazzle and Razzle having appeal for the audience
Persuasion having an approach in publicity in promoting any Broadway show
There are sometimes Broadway show samples forming a presentation
I have been in some Broadway Style Musicals performing with Cast myself at the Radisson Valley Forge Hotel Convention and Entertainment Center
So I have some ideas in how Broadway shows come together

But I learned a lot about Broadway also from my Famous Great Uncle Eubie Blake who was a Pianist and Composer in Broadway Shows years gone
It was creation and perfection at its best
But in order to bring the Broadway show to full production, everything from the Script, Numerous Dress Rehearsals along with test special effects
You now have an idea of behind the scenes in how Broadway Shows are done
Broadway is ready
The stage and the curtain is ready to go up
Before I get ready to step out and perform
The Broadway experience is a thrill of a lifetime
It starts with the music and sometimes with humor
My heart is always destined expel my talent
But Broadway truly is having the sounds with applause after bound.

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

Well Good night being the sight and off with the lights

A story of living pasts and present

Simply music all alone
The rhythm that pulled the musical song along
Captioning the audience hearts where it belongs

The curtain came down
Remembrance of a keyboard flow that can be found

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
From time to time I will pass by.

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.

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

Your poetry is calling and it’s a hard knock
Write on

Your poetry write is what you should look upon
So long for now
Start writing and continue being inspired during your moment of while.

YOU DON’T CARE

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

Who says Civil Rights is an easy battle?
Ask Congressmen John Lewis and C.T. Vivian they jumped immediately into the saddle
Their thoughts would be, “Redemption, Achieve, Believe and Victory”
This is what the two Civil Rights Moguls were challenged
It was call to action
Civil Rights fight until won
They achieved in the 50’s and 60’s
But their mission is continuous in us until done
Yet, the world is continuing in the separation fight among
The rise in the fist being unity power
It didn’t matter the hour
Congressmen John Lewis and Rev C.T. Vivian didn’t tire
Don’t let movement after movement expire
It certainly was no easy stepping
March on March on in Congressmen Lewis and Rev Vivian’s hearts
Step out in one accord
They were assured being guided by our Lord
Struggles then continuing now in 2020
But the banner reads, “Black Lives Matter”
However, let’s take that even further, “All Lives Matter”
The struggles then was separation, but today the world is shouting Unification
Bringing all races together as one
This is nonstop
Civil Rights won’t be done until all feet are on solid ground
Lift every voice and be heard
Utter Civil Rights can no longer continue to be a plight
That was Congressmen Lewis and Rev. C.T. Vivian shedding light
They wanted to open up the world’s minds
No matter what the cost, separation wasn’t sublime
It was a fight for justice and voices rang loud
Congressmen Lewis and Rev C.T. Vivian mission was an urgent purpose
Influence obvious
The world wondering in curious
But it didn’t matter, Congressmen Lewis and Rev C.T. Vivian were simply furious
Civil Rights was a responsibility and should be sustained by all
Congressmen Lewis and Rev C.T. Vivian were involved in the Freedom Riders
Today the Civil Rights warriors would say, “Don’t let us catch you with your Civil Rights involvement undone
It’s continuous until complete
It would be Police in opposition
March on in precision
It was extension of determined exercised rights
Congressmen Lewis and Rev Vivian didn’t take that light
They vision in plain sight
There are two Heaven Harlow’s being Heaven’s call
They conquered and saw
Now it is time for us to continue on the road to Civil Rights
Congressmen Lewis and Rev Vivian are our determination
We will be their representation
Lift every voice and join hands
Let us march together in the sunrise until sundown
Embrace in commitment
Visualize in achievement
Dignity and honor from legacy
Muster from struggle’s past to victories to be gained
Upward and onward
2020, we are the new voices
Lift every voice and chant, “Civil Rights the purpose, and Freedom becoming the enterprise”
March on my Sons and Daughters
Civil Rights won’t be won until Freedom and Liberty reign.

WORDS
preservationman Jul 2015
Words being more than a mare thought
Thinking with an understanding within sought
Education being a source for an intellectual vibe
It’s all about feeling inspired and just stride
Writing by your own abide
The thinker establishing what’s in the mind
Subjects upon subjects in categories combined
The theory of one’s sentence
An idea that comes up in an instance
What you see in what you write
A storm shaken ship being guided by a distance lighthouse
The same tall ship being tossed going through the god controlling waves
The crewmen praying for the waves to behave
Words telling the story
The wonder of victory in its glory
Words proclaiming new heights
At the same time word blank becoming a plight
But words will lead you in what to do
But here is a clue, “Just write” and you will pursue.

Talent being the gift from above
Creativity being everything to think of
Style within the portfolio in mine
Contrast in design with color that is combined

A portrait of a family member long ago
It tells a story, and follow me in the flow
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 assurance in what can be created coming from thine
Talent among talent

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

To Paris, I must say Au Revoir.

The tail all begins from Building 8
It’s time with no wait
It was a night to sneak away
The Husband told his wife he was going to the store to buy some cigarettes
He stated he would be right back
Nothing particular about that
But it was not two days later
Apparently the Husband brought a ticket to Detroit and was leaving from New York City on a Greyhound bus
However, the husband and wife were having to some marital problems, and he couldn’t take it anymore with consistent fuss
So the husband was running away from home
Peace of mind so he could think and roam
The Greyhound bus was going to be the chauffeur for the husband’s new life
The husband might seek some counseling advice
So what’s happening with the husband’s wife at Rochdale?
The wife felt she had her life and freedom
She’s partying and meeting other men
Looks like there is no love to amend
The husband and wife marriage was thick and thin
It was a matter of time of the marriage to end
But can they both live without each other and create their own begins
The husband will never tell
The wife just states, “Oh well”
Yet the whole romance thing just didn’t sell
It’s a marriage that love doesn’t spell
Leave it to Rochdale being the tell
Until the next chapter of Rochdale wives.

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".

As the bus was approaching outside Wichita, there was a fierce Tornado combing the fields with destruction and heading right for the highway
Suddenly the bus was lifted up into the Tornado, but the bus remained in tact and didn’t fall apart
After while, the bus was then hurled back to the ground, but in a gentle mode and was placed slowly to the ground
The passengers were shaken up and no one made any sound
But it was the Almighty telling the bus passengers I mean no harm
You all should not be in alarm
I am the Almighty who knows how to calm
Go on and remember me
The Greyhound bus pushed on its journey
The bus arrived safely into Kansas City at its destined stop
But the passengers knew who had control at the top
The Greyhound Bus Engineer explained his ordeal
But no one took him serious in being for real
But one does wonder
How and why did the passengers survive?

CREATIVE WRITING 101
preservationman Apr 2018
Production in what you want to communicate in being your say
The concept of writing in putting together from one’s mind is an absolute ok
Yet making sure the adverbs and adjectives in helping the reader to understand
Sustaining thought
At times, a battle between the ideas and concepts becoming a collaboration being fought
But remember, the words and sentences are a guide like a narration
Think of creative writing acting as your Tour Escort
It’s along the way with the journey in wanting the reader to actually read on
It might be that moment when disaster struck
It might even be when Hercules used his feats of strength
Yet Creative Writing is about going that extra length
Putting the love in being able to just write
Your own inner talent in creating that certain excite
Yet being calm from within and polite
Creative Writing being what you didn’t know
But you can now show
Creative Writing is about composing no matter what form
It can range from Poetry too Script Writing, and anything else in between
It’s about whatever your mind could think of
One’s mind to one’s heart
One’s thought coming too understanding illustrating acceleration
However, Creative Writing is about having an appreciation
Always remember, no one can write the way you can
You control on when
You are the ability that says “Yes You Can”
Write what you feel straight from the heart, and watch as the words flow
You will say, I was right putting you in the know
But it will be your creativity in writing that will show
Creative writing that always has been
But be inspired until the very end
Creative Writing calls, “Ready, Set, Produce and Write”.

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.

TRUMP HITS A BUMP
preservationman Oct 2016
He has loss his way through the darkness.
His thoughts have been misdirected with a detour.
Trump must always think twice.
He loses motivation by not taking advice.
Politics flow has a message of No.
Words have no connection with the necessary flow.
Conditions in the world need no more negativity.
From America’s separation in bring all people together being activity.
Trump has a name.
But it relates to a dump truck taking aim.
Trump’s platform is nothing more than a mock.
Yet he doesn’t even have a resolutions stock.
The Commander-In-Chief is for more than a Corporate CEO.
It’s a person being the U.S. Ambassador in being in the know.
Apprentice is a learning tool while being educated in a trade by the best.
It’s not a conquest nor is it a request.
Now listen carefully and follow the flow.
Policies must be just right in getting overseas waters to agree.
Certainly shouldn’t be for Foreigners needing to flee.
It should be decisions in wait and see.
It’s living in true purpose in where it should be.
Racism should not be illustrating from past to present.
All have rights that represent.
It can’t be black shootings being constant incidents.
Afro Americans have done nobody wrong.
It’s the fact we all need to get along.
Dr. Martin Luther King had the right idea.
We shouldn’t have to live in fear.
Embrace one another is how we shall preserver.
Stand up for what should be right.
Avoid in an unnecessary fight.
Wars should serve purpose, but not against one another.
Because one doesn’t look like the other, it shouldn’t be hatred on any other.
Building walls is a form of separation.
America was built on decrees, desires, Determinations and sound judgments.
It’s the right to speak, live and fellowship.
Yet Trump should let that be lesson as a tip.
Trump feels because he is a Billionaire, he owns the USA.
But his lack of understanding makes his character astray.
Money can only go so far.
After that, money has no voice.
Trump is not a good choice.
There are followers on his side.
But there is an expected expiration, and I see a raging coming tide.
My own personal advice, “MOVE FORWARD, BUT DON’T TIRE AS TIME MARCHES ON, AND TOMORROW IS A WAKE UP FROM THE YOND. IT’S INSPIRATION IN BEING EMBRACED STRONG AND STAY IN THOSE VERY WORDS IN KNOWING YOU ARE A PERSON THAT IS FAVORED IN BELONG”.

The GM PD-4106 bus of the past with possibilities
The bus was once the workhorse at Greyhound being reality
But because the PD-4106 was a bus of the 1960’s, it no longer had a function
The General Manager and Maintenance team had stuffed the bus way in the back in the bus company’s yard behind the garage where no one would notice
The Smith Brothers Bus Company had Heavy Charter traffic, and with all new updated features that the GM PD-4106 didn’t have from the past
So Jerry being had no use, but stay in the back and collect dust
The General Manager and Maintenance felt that was an absolute must
They thought there no fuss
How uncertain they were
But something happened for the good for GM PD-4106 that no one expected
A group needed to charter a vintage bus for a bus museum trip
Jerry was the only vintage bus on the lot
It wasn’t a plot
But I can tell you, the updated buses didn’t like that a lot
Jerry the GM PD-4106 was finally noticed
The updated buses started jealousy around the bus company place
Even the General Manager and couldn’t even erase
Jerry was the talk of the town
So vintage buses, man your stations
You are still the best from vintage back of all time creations
GM PD-4106 proved that
It is pure fact
So what happened to Jerry after the charter?
Jerry became a permanent bus to a proud owner in becoming a traveling motorhome.

Then suddenly the Amtrak came to an immediate stop
Mechanical problems came up
Meanwhile the Amtrak train being stuck on the rails
Apparently something on the train had failed
One of the passengers felt the train would be stuck for a while
The passenger took action in style
So the passenger called from his cell a nearby Pizza Restaurant, and had the Pizza delivered directly to the Amtrak train
The passenger thought, “If I am going to be stuck on the rails, it’s going to be feed my hunger being the trail”
But the question does come up
There’s a snack car aboard, and why wasn’t it utilized?
I guess with mechanical problems with no power, all the Amtrak Personnel aboard could do was apologize
The Amtrak train finally arrived in Washington, DC three hours late
I would have taken the bus and avoided the fuss.
