It was Children’s Day, June 11, 7:30 am Worship Service at New Jerusalem Worship Center
The theme of the service being Joy and Praise
Honor and Glory with all of Heaven’s amaze
Music with inspiration adding to the purpose
Needing a Blessing, but combining Faith
Church Service was in session
The Guest Ministering Speaker spoke on aspects of Christianity being a lesson
God’s got the whole world in his hands
He stretches out his hand daily throughout the land
A world that needs to come together
Hatred should not come from the other
We shouldn’t respond being another
Yes, the whole world is in God’s hands
God’s children being you the Christians of tomorrow
Getting Souls to come to Christ
Prayer calling to the Lord being our advice
Encouraging other young people to join in the crusade
When you have salvation, your life will be everlasting fulfilled
You will be able to resist the Devil’s will
This is what New Jerusalem’s message daily is all about
Now Praise the Lord and let out with a Joyful Shout.

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.

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

I want to see again
Tell me the day of when
Our chemistry seems to have an effect
Our date is truly a connect
Love that is felt deep
In fact, I am no mood to sleep
I am energized like the Duracell battery
You keep me charged
You are my crossroad
I say I love you being bold
My destiny in the right direction
You are my personal selection
Yesterday I looked upon
Tomorrow is another day
I want another date so what do you say?
My love is not a moment
It is true to my heart
I want to relish you with roses
A sip of wine to enhance the evening
Then let nature take it’s close in what I am feeling
A heart can’t be loved unless it is actually loved

LET ME MOTIVATE YOU
preservationman Feb 2018
You must have confidence being assurance
You should also have untiring endurance
But the whole idea is being convincing with influence
You must be a direct coach
Being able to communicate and not choke
Every motivating speech must have an agenda to the audience you seek
The bottom line is not be weak
The platform must have a curriculum
It’s what to say and how to say it in inspiration
Positive words in getting the motivating experience across
Being knowledgeable having a concrete enforce
However, being a strong motivator in having a target that hits
The subject matter must be materials that fit
The lectures should be encouragement and not quit
The idea is motivation being the Take Charge approach
“Motivate to attract within”
There comes a new outlook of begin
Motivation comes in getting the audience into participation
You will get a response of information
So you see motivating is not hard after all
Yet it’s being the platform coach being the call
Motivation establishes in encouragement for all
Now some in the audience you won’t reach in motivate
It will be because some in the audience can’t relate
But enforce its never too late
That’s a true motivator
It’s the information provider
Later it will be the audience being the decider.

I have a determined mind to climb the highest mountain
There no tire nor thirst from any fountain
I won’t let anything hold me back
My mind must be focused and on track
Yet there is racism of my ***** skin
I am a man and won’t give in
The Civil Rights Movement was a time for change
Fast forward beyond the past being tomorrow’s Civil Rights in rearrange
I am the overcome with legacy of shall
My Ancestors left their mark in stay the course
Heaven guides being the force
I stand in my own right
It’s a protest, but not a fight
I was once in darkness, but now I have light
My point could be made well into the night
Struggles make one strong and not condone to defeat
I am proud to stand on my feet
You have won the battle and don’t even know it
It was a matter in being confident and assured
Freedom, Dignity and Pride all have their own accord
Yet be thankful as blessings only come from the Lord.

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

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

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

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.

The audience listened to a piano piece
As the tempo changed into dramatic
It was like the harmony being magic
But there was a chain reaction
The audience brought out in tears
It wasn’t the performance illustrated any fear
The piano musical presented a story in the audience minds
A story of living pasts and present
The talking keyboard in what the musical piece represents
The beauty of the tone
Simply music all alone
The rhythm that pulled the musical song along
Captioning the audience hearts where it belongs
The highs and lows of tempo
The applause a piano will never ever forget
However leaving after the performance with no regret
The curtain came down
Remembrance of a keyboard flow that can be found
Total audience inspiration being all around.

The Trainer attempted to put the Red Cloth back on the Camel, but the Camel gave a look to the Trainer didn’t I illustrate I don’t want the cloth on me, so because you don’t listen, the Camel raised his right leg and knocked the Trainer in the head
What happened after?
The Camel started to stampede
So there was a delay in the pageant not being able to proceed
The Camel was starting charge at the audience
Suddenly a miracle appeared, the Camel glazed down at the Plastic Baby Jesus, and literally kneed down
During that period, no one could get that Camel to budge
The Camel just continued to knee
It was like the Camel received a message of “Calm down and don’t be alarmed”
The Camel then rose up and the Trainer was able to put the Red Cloth on the Camel and the pageant continued
It was a miracle in tame
All surrounded by Jesus being his name.

53 AND COUNTING
preservationman Dec 2016
It was three years ago, and it was Rochdale Village’s 50th Anniversary
Well Rochdale is 53 years old today
This is a moment to reflect
A photo opt in looking around Rochdale and thinking on the past, present and future
Yesterday steadily became tomorrow in acceleration
But this is our time to take in the appreciation
This is Rochdale Village’s honor for continued robust solid infrastructure
There were doubters
But Rochdale is full of inspiration
Yet to the cooperators, this is our indication
However, Rochdale is full of history of its own
Who could forget the PETER PAN BAKERY, KRESS and the ROCHDALE THEATER
That is just a few
But there is still acknowledgement due
There was a ROCHDALE VILLAGE WATER FOUNTAIN
There was rainbow mist
Different colored lights that added to the twist
Some cooperators got romantic and gave a kiss
The water fountain would bring all Rochdale Cooperators together from every circle
One would often greet fellow cooperators and you knew you were in a community having plenty of unity
This is how Rochdale Village’s history was made
Some might say a margin in the shade
No matter what, Rochdale Village still has the honor, dignity and contributions
The Rochdale structure stands in giving us all Hope, Inspiration, Possibilities and Courage
Aim high, but have understanding
Have courage, but keep being determined
Present your own promising words
Rochdale’s name has lived and will continued to stride
We the cooperators are the added ride
The outside community knows all so well
We don’t even have to tell
Happy 53rd Anniversary Rochdale Village
Don’t make a change just stay as you are
Your years in which you have journeyed far
Yet the name of Rochdale Village being its own star
Continue to stand for all
We the cooperators will never let you fall
In our hearts, we are your all
Once again, 53 and counting, but praises in blessings in many more years to come
Your life lives on and you are far from being done
Thank you as a cooperator for allowing me to be among.

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.

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

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

A journey into the screens view
Our own adventure being our own slew
One’s laughter and cries within suspense
Up close and personal
A reality with a purpose to live
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.

A THOUGHT OF JESUS CHRIST

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.

A man named GORILLA STRONG
His last name Strong describes him perfectly
Strength in his own right
Strong and Might
Gorilla Strong started on his journey as a Weightlifter
He would lift weights beyond expectations
In fact, when he lifts weights at the gym where he trains appropriately called “INTENSITY BEYOND”
Every weight he lifts sounding like an Earthquake around him with shakes and vibrations
It surrounds Mr. Strong’s training formation
His body parts seem to muscle flex without Mr. Strong doing a flex
Mr. Strong has received numerous Weightlifting awards and top honors in sportsmanship

You are probably scratching your head in wondering who is this Gorilla Strong is a person who I made up in my head
However, it would be surprising if Gorilla Strong really existed
So where did the first name of Gorilla originate?
It wasn’t from the ridges of Africa nor a descendant from King Kong
It describes Mr. Strong’s strength capabilities and Gorilla built structure
But there is another side of Gorilla Strong
He became a competitive Bodybuilder
How does one go from Weightlifting to Bodybuilding?
Easy answer, Train, Eat, Preparation and Transformation
Mr. Strong competed in Bodybuilding Contest in winning the Mr. Sensational Title
Because Mr. Gorilla Strong is unique and was wonder and instilled competitive
No imagination or dream, but fierce competition in what bodybuilding could become
The stage was set and when Gorilla Strong stepped on the Posing Dais or some would call the podium along with the other competitors, there was no comparison as to who would win the bodybuilding show
Mr. Strong was vascular, constructed, muscle pumps and showed promise and plenty of detail
It was because of his Weightlifting days that paved the way for Bodybuilding
Even when Mr. Gorilla Strong shook one’s hand, it was like shaking hands with a vice
He was just that strong
After all, one’s last name of strong is nothing to ignore
Think on crush and ouch
Some might think that Mr. Gorilla Strong might be too strong
Just saying, what if Mr. Strong was arrested, and was put into handcuffs, do think they would hold being his strength?
It might be considered a strongman act
Gorilla Strong being a man of excellence
Essence at its best
Powerful with might
Mr. Sensational
Global name

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.

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.

GRADUATE TRILOGY

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


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

Too sit or get up
Too try or never start

Be uptight or at ease

But have ever saw your own excel

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.

MY MEMOIR STATURE
preservationman Oct 2016
It all started at 1330 Pacific Street
There I lived in a two family Brownstone that couldn’t be beat
Heat in the winter sometimes didn’t come through
But we had back up plans in knowing what to do
Yet it was home where I belonged
But my story I won’t prolong
The winters were hard to take
But living in Brooklyn, New York being the stake
The memorable moments was at holiday times when I had a ** Scale Baltimore & Ohio passenger train set that always went around our Christmas Tree along with the decorated lights for all to see
Christmas cards would be hung all on the wall
The Christmas tree would be stand tall
I was living with my Grandparents and we moved from Pacific Street to a high rise COOP
This is where I am still living today
This was when I was the age of 7
It was a place in making one feel like a living Heaven
I travelled Across Country on a Hound Bus in the United States, Canada and Mexico
But remember Greyhound’s past slogan, “Take the bus and avoid the fuss”
I got my taste of Entertainment
I appeared at the Valley Forge Entertainment Center
Being an Adventurer type, I ventured out on a canoe riding the Water Rapids in the Adirondacks in Upstate New York
Later I decided to do some Writing and be a Poet
My day as a Writer was ideas like a sunrise
My inspiration was days having surprises
Everyday I become more Wiser
My tomorrow will be a continued advancement of wisdom
My Grandparents instilled “Commodity into Excellence”
Educate my mind in becoming my own business success
I graduated from CUNY Medgar Evers College
If they were alive they could surely contest and a testimony of confess
All that is all part of me
But there is something else I want you all too see
I was almost at near Death at Birth
Doctors had given up hope
This was something where it became hard for my Mother and Grandparents to cope
I was suffering from Asthma, Yellow Jaundice and Malnutrition
My Mother was smoking while carrying me
But my Grandmother was a praying warrior and believed in God
She felt the Doctors didn’t consult God directly, but she did
Well my readers, God gave me continued life and I am 59 years old
In fact in February 2017, I will be 60 years old
So there’s my memoir
Life where living continues on

As I live on, I will continue to illustrate my life and leaving my legacy mark.

EVIL AND SORCERY
preservationman May 2016
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 hour has passed
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.

AS THE POETRY TURNS
preservationman May 2017
Pages after pages of pure amazing
Inspiration in accomplished
Poetry connection that has been established
Commitment that has been coming alive
Poetry has been opening reader’s minds
Sentences in words illustrated line after line
It’s more than emotions combined
The secret being magical
A message from the Poet’s in get ready for acceleration
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.

YOU WERE GIVEN THE KEY
preservationman Oct 2015
Unlock those chains the Devil put you in
Unlock your mind where yesterday was from when
Unlock hour heart where your tomorrow can begin
The Devil has you shackled with strong lock
Yet Jesus knows how break and knock
But Jesus has the key and knows how to unlock
No need to settle for darkness end
Step into the light and watch as the beauty of you that will begin
The Devil wants to pound and keep you bound
But just look up and around, and its Jesus Praise being the sound
Chains can only stay on if you allow
But seek Jesus while he can be found
Your soul will appreciate, but unfortunately unbelievers will not be able to relate
Goodness comes from Christ
It’s not a confession to the Priest seeking advice
Just tell the chains to fall off
Be faithful and knowing your stance
With Jesus this is how you advance
Merciful father who gives all a chance
The Devil wants to be King and have you in a fire fierce grave
But the point is, the Devil needs to behave
Tell the Devil your true soul belongs to Jesus
The Holy Spirit are controlled by Heaven
It’s Heaven alone
Understanding comes in letting it be known
Shake those chains and watch them come off
This will make the Devil mad of course
But will be chains away and praises that will be ok.

The Man, my Mentor, Legend and Also known as DAD is what I call him being Mr. Donald M. Coffin
As a permanent Greyhound bus memorial, a blue License plate on the right bumper of a new Greyhound bus in front that reads, “IN HONOR OF DONALD M. COFFIN, MR. GREYHOUND”
I was presented with the Greyhound bus picture this past Tuesday right before Independence Day
I felt honored and Dad would certainly be pleased
At this moment, I feel so at ease
Mr. Donald Coffin died in 2017 at the age of 93, but I know he is resting comfortably
Yet the message is, “Where that Greyhound Bus, Mr. Coffin’s spirit will always offer direction
Dad will always be the guiding light in the Greyhound bus highway
So if that Greyhound bus should ever get lost have no fear, as Mr. Coffin will always be near
Mr. Coffin devoted his entire life to buses
It was Greyhound in particular
Dad will always be my center piece I my heart and soul
My wisdom and understanding came from his behold
Mr. Coffin is the man that taught me everything I needed to know about buses
I was the Greyhound Historian and I was his student
So how fitting in the Greyhound Bus honor
Mr. Coffin vision was buses being ahead of their time
The open road to Dad was a Bus of any kind
So the heritage vision has been established in me
I thank Greyhound for giving Dad that well deserved recognition
Appreciation within my heart
Establishment having the honor
The road will always greet and welcome the Donald M. Coffin name
It will be Heaven in telling Greyhound, “Start your engines as it is the road to take aim but remembrance of Donald M. Coffin that will always remain
“Lead by heritage and vintage being everlasting”.

It felt like I was in a tomb
Perhaps even my doom

My bets were living in bid
The room seemed to go faster
It was a moment that seemed arrived
I don’t know, but I managed to survive

The sunrise shows your beauty each and every day
The message is appreciation in every way
Your mountains in think high
Your cities skyscrapers in think success
The landscapes in general in being an enterprise
The American flag that waves in being symbolic with Honor, Pride and Dignity
But we must reflect and give thanks to our Legend Forefather in striving in making America a reality
Yet America wouldn’t even exist, if it hadn’t been for our Heavenly Father
Throughout America’s history, but there was confusions, but understanding where knowledge came together as one entity
Yet struggles in conflict in battles and Civil Rights taking a turn
But as an American, just what did we learn?
Freedom doesn’t come cheap
This is what I hold close with my soul to keep
The Statue Of Liberty standing tall offering arriving citizens of new hope
She stands in helping one another to cope
Together as American’s we stand
We are America, and stretches throughout the land
My country tis of Thee
This involves you and me
America, and we are all of part of it
We got in touch with one another like no other
I am proud to say, but this can come on any given day
Happy Birthday America
You became America while others said you wouldn’t
Negativity was trying to block with a shouldn’t
But Washington, DC spoke and the message was couldn’t
Yet America, you pushed your way
You are here to stay
God bless America
From my heart to yours
Happy Birthday on July 4th
Your creed has always been our destiny
Our moment being the very hour
You are our America’s eyes, and offer wonders beyond having a surprise
City after City celebrating the birth of a nation
I salute you America
Let the music play
It’s harmony being the relay
America stands, and we are all the Caravan
Let us applaud
But give thanks to our Lord
Embrace in love in America’s history, and tell your stories in how your possibilities became mysteries
Embrace and take your place

I happened being an unknown event
That is how the Earth’s Environment went
Suddenly a plight hit the Earth
Transformation into a new species
Living and walking Turkey’s
This is what humans had become
Gobble here and there
Humans could no longer speak the English language
Perhaps it was years on Turkey’s being the honored table guest
Turkey’s warned Earth everywhere and would get their revenge
Through time
The Earth didn’t take the Turkey’s Serious
But now Earth is furious
However, Turkey’s always got the raw deal
Humans now are the element being the feel
Scientist have no idea in how to combat the Turkey reverse
Now it becomes an everlasting curse
Gobbling effect
Forever Turkey’s

It’s heavy rain tonight
The road is so dark there aren’t any headlights
But along the rain are flashes of lightening and thunder
We have taken a forbidden route
It has been said those that take Route 8 never return
Route 8 has not been driven down for years
The reason being fears
Road signs say, “Turn Back” and other signs continue on if you dare
The clock on a old building says, “No time to spare”
But it’s fate that doesn’t care
The road being its own detour
Minutes have quickly accelerated into the hour
The road took hold
Drivers are all bold
Route 8 has turned into a final conclusion
The minds are working like its all an illusion
The road being its own consolidation
Evil welcomes having no appreciation.

The announcement has been called, “Welcome Aboard, and claim your seat at Gate 15”
Think Greyhound and Trailways
It was back in those days
Two bus companies who were competitive
But each company had their own objective
It was outdo the other by being the best
As for the customer, it was their test
It was achieving in passenger in destination in rides
It was revenues that would be strides
So Greyhound was the dog and Trailways had the Eagle
Trailways being an Eagle to soar beyond the possibilities
As for the Hound dog, it was like a race in a speed run
The essence were both their flashing lights
They were often seen day and night
It would be schedules around the clock
No matter what kind of weather, it was no time to stop
From sunrise to sundown
The Hound Dog and the Eagle could be found
But there was a change in the bus lanes
The Independent Trailways is now in the Greyhound family in a merger of combined operations
Some Trailways Terminals were converted into Greyhound Terminals
While others were closed completely
But at the same token, Greyhound had moved into Transportation Centers not being their own Terminals
The perfect example of that is the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City
The idea is to cut expenses while reducing economical costs
But what is left in the bus lanes today is small independent Trailways carriers, which even today, Greyhound shares
Those independent Trailways carriers cover various parts of the United States
So Greyhound and Trailways names you know
Although
Greyhound still reigns supreme in the tow
But you have bargain buses that stop on the streets in the flow
Bus Lanes may have changed
But the Greyhound name still remains
The highway bus lanes of the past, but Greyhound is still accelerating the dog moving fast
Bus lanes know
Whether it be the Hound or the Eagle
Both were born to achieve
But Greyhound is still here to preserver
So Highway Bus Lanes, have no fear

A soldier’s battle drum

The sun has risen
Tomorrow being the new day
You are yet fighting for justice and freedom
But it’s your dignity and honor that prevails
I see numerous naval ships on the set sail
The mission we can’t fail
There’s a job that needs to be done
We are not finished until we have won
The Fallen Soldiers have finished their battle tour, but they too can’t be forgotten
The American Flag stands high and proud
It’s the moment to reflect in being allowed
Conquer we will and victory we shall
It won’t be until
Salute being continuous
It’s not something contagious
I hear military voices in the background
The enemy is near
But as Soldiers we cannot show fear
God has given us a personal creed
“Be a strong soldier in order to proceed”
Yet the battle drums beat long
Onto the battle with a mission where we belong
Music plays in the distance and echoing out
Inspirational singing is what I am talking about
Endless struggles seemingly beyond repair
But don’t get weary and full of despair
A Soldiers walk is God overseeing in that captivation talk.

Two people living together, but with two different writing styles
A Writer into Novel Books and a Poet in just take a look
What can you say as the living room was a mess?
But only the Writer and Poet that can contest
Paper was thrown on the floor
An idea with a thought concept just didn’t sound galore
I believe lack of confident in not being sure
The Writer Sam was formulating a new novel
“Tomorrow’s eyes with Brightness being a Surprise”
The story about Nancy, a blind girl struck by Lightning receiving a miracle to see
It happened when Nancy the blind girl was walking home from school
Nancy was guided by her everyday faithful cane tool
A storm was stirring up
Clouds immediately gathered, and then the rain started to pour
Later then was a flash and streak of lightning that circulated through the sky
Immediately, Nancy could now see
She wondered what happened, But Heaven was the answer
Nancy was now able to read and cherish everything she loved
I see a flying Dove being the reminder of the miracle to think of
Now Bob, the Poet he always wanted to be
It was words having a meaning and showing his true emotion
Well Sam and Bob decided to team up and form a business together called, “Writer’s Bout and Poet’s Shout, Inc.”
A publisher’s friend being a motivational with nothing but inspirations for future writers and Poet’s to be
So the message is clear, start writing and Poet’s look into your most inner morse
So Sam and Bob’s company was starting to blossom nicely
Now did things change in the living room of clean?
They now had a business and they straightened up, but I will let you be the guess.

You know, “Leave the Driving to us”
Well I thought of the cross country experience having no fuss
So traveling by bus was a must
It was the open road and Rocky Mountains high
It was America and I
Seeing Indians along the way
No sight of John Wayne on that day
My journey greeted many major cities
The St. Louis approach with the McDonald’s arch giving a Midwest welcome
Cheyenne being of its western days being a throwback stop
That Hound Bus was well on its way
It was move on with no time to stay
Mountains upon Mountains
The thought would I be able to climb
Another thought being the old Western Movies
Stage Coaches and Indians
As my Motor Coach turned around the bend
It was the vision of an American Indian on a White Horse
It wasn’t Mr. Ed of course, of course
But the Indian Wave
A welcome to the Hound Dog bus
In the distance being the city of Downtown Los Angeles
We had truly arrived being our final destination
It was four days being strive
A welcomed venture

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

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.

Let me explain the details very slow
It’s a house structure with many ceilings and walls
Yet no completeness in boundary stuck on stall
Missing were the floors
This is something that really needs to be explored
It’s seems back in the colonial days
There was hesitation rage in every way
A fierce fight between the house owners and the Government Parliament
A fight that continued before the house was ever complete
There was abundant of deceit
One of the key house owners had died
There was no more fight in try
All was left was a strategy in take it in your stride
The house remained the same
No one ever visited in came
Excuses after excuses became just lame
But there was a lot of blame
Nothing more than finger pointing being the aim of shame.

It was my Aunt who took me when I was a little Tot to Macy’s Herald Square

As my Aunt began to move out of the store, she noticed I had the bus in my hand and told me to put it back
My Aunt tried to take the bus out of my hand, but my grip was so steady as a vise tack
Even a little Tot such as I, my Aunt couldn’t get that bus away from me
A bus passion from the very beginning being so strong, then still remains in my history being long
But the story continues in how I liked the hound
I still have a love that continues at every single bound
I have a love for animals
However it was that race and stretch that caught my attention
I didn’t need any persuasion
The Hound became my inspiration and my commitment being the indication
I was definitely under the Hound spell
Even today, my friends can tell

Full determined mind being the key
The clouds being your eyes not to wonder, but be assured in yonder that is certain
Drugs do nothing more than course your body to withdraw
Eyes of observation in what I saw
There’s help that is always on the way
Your encouragement, “A fulfilled life is worth living and a chance worth giving”
Death is what drugs say in how much time you have left
Live on and be determined along with overcoming the habit being a battle of your own

It won’t happen in an instance
It’s all about timing and commitment
You are the race against the clock
You are a victim that many people mock
As a drug user, you are the human who can quit and stop

But the moment seemed dark
It looked like Death was steadily making its mark
But Death was pushed out by a strong beacon of light
Death couldn’t see me because it had no sight
Intervention that was just too tight

This was a time to continue living and truly shine

My praises could have filled a cup
Nothing stops a Heavenly heart
This is how Death wants to make its mark
Yet I wonder when and how Death will find me
I will just have to wait and see
But for now I must be glad and let be
I am living from Heaven in a time of giving
Yet the Devil wants to corrupt my mind by being deceiving

CREATIVE WRITING 101

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”.
