It’s the many situations that arise
Yet it is documentation that is seen with thine eyes
Voices that argue present no truth
The route to deceive
It is not the assumption to perceive
But carefully analyzing in what is actually received
Voice of chosen words
Open ears in being heard
The multitudes in overwhelming mount
It’s the resolutions that truly count
Unity being the community
My sisters and brothers
We are like no other
The proof being the movement and documents being the solid brass
The evidence in being up front and not making it last
Coming together in visualizing effort
What is unpleasing and distasteful too think
It’s like a downing ship that will only sink
Yet prosper on meaningful thoughts with direction leading to possibilities in organized sought
But it takes continual activity
This is what is too become a reality
Lift every voice and sing
Yet I want to leave you with one thing
“Action in multitude and together we shall soothe”
With that said, I must conclude.

FREEDOM RIDERS BUSWARD HO
preservationman Dec 2021
Civil Rights, Civil Rights and Civil Rights
Freedom with a fight
Fed up with plight
It was walk and talk
A battle that had to be fought
The message got out
All that happened moving about
Greyhound took the message across the nation
It became the Freedom Riders presentation
Opposition tried to stop
Name calling in mock
Freedom stands for all
It was no time to stall
Greyhound’s rolling wheels focused enroute
The company supported what the Freedom Riders were trying to do
It was a mission the Freedom Riders had to pursue
Civil Rights being a follow through
Freedom Riders knew they couldn’t tire
The struggle couldn’t be an expire
The multitude of voices in shout
The Freedom Riders stood ******* principles
They were the anecdote with a cure
Freedom simply needed to be secure
Multitude strong with pride
It was togetherness in the Freedom Riders stride
Civil Rights is still an issue today
The world must take a stand all the way
There can’t be a command with a demand
Justice is for throughout the land
Thank You Freedom Riders for the path
This is not the last
Greyhound thanks for the Civil Rights destination
As for the Freedom Riders, you are the face of the nation.

I AM YOUR HISTORY
preservationman Mar 2016
You had been taught in school
I was the research being a tool
Remember Ancient Civilization
The genius in building the pyramids being the indication
A fall down of Ancient cities
How the homeless live being a pity
The struggles between nations
Attitude having no solitude
The search for peace
The Civil Rights Movement in emotions that was released
That strange looking car that was invented then
What we can expect in the future coming at the end
People torn apart
Total separation being a start
Every U.S. President that has ever served
Justice system in what people deserve
Anger into hate
Brutality I how it relates
That was your history
Straight teachings without any mystery
Yes, I was your history, motivator and educator rolled out in one
But I am not yet done
Today I want you to learn history even more
There is yet more to explore
You get right down to the history core
I leave you this history quote, “Words are many, but its true discussions that carry”.

TROUBLED WATERS

Struggles being pressure within distress
Your body is combating a test
It’s your drug addiction that only you can contest
Knowing that you have a drug addiction problem that’s truly your confess
You must be fully strong to quit
It will be lots of counseling that fit
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
Substance
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
It’s will power that leads the way
It’s the drugs you need to astray
Kick away from drugs and don’t make a permanent stay
If you really believe in your own intensive care, and it is about health I want to share
The idea is to stay substance clean, and no more needed for me to say as you know what I
Mean.

THE HAND THAT LEADS
preservationman Sep 2015
Pope Francis brings the aroma of Spirituality
When it comes being a Christian, it’s pure reality
He was a warrior from Heaven being the chosen word
Through God, he wanted Pope Francis to be heard
Italy might be his home base
But it was the messages of hope, Cope, Peace and prayer that many will keep in a vase
Pope Francis telling the word as he sees it
Listen, but make sure you hear
Observe, but don’t worry about fear
Closeness that God will always be near
Pope Francis having an eye on how people will achieve
Look the Devil in the eye that he shall not deceive
Taking the power of one’s faith
Turning that power into one’s fulfillment of God’s trust
The biblical sense being a must
Pope Francis simply was saying, “Follow me and let me teach”
But in regards to salvation, it’s God that will help you reach
His love for children and the prosperity within religion
It’s the reason to prayer and hands up
A Parent’s responsibility with sustaining religion within themselves
Children will lead when the old can no longer go the distance
It’s God’s overseeing that will be in an instance
The beauty of life
One never having to think twice
To the unfortunate, there is hope in the hills of Heaven
The hand that shall lead
God’s doctrine within the message in the hope into proceed
Knee at the threshold in God’s name
The goodness comes from within not needing blame
Pope Francis who is walking among this Earth
Assures us all and has given the world a new birth
A creed to live on, and staying in God’s kingdom where we all belong.

CENTURY HEIGHTS
preservationman Feb 2015
A mystery house that stood all alone
A lot about the house that wasn’t really known
Yet it was definitely evil that wanted to transcend
In the shade of darkness like a bolt of lightening to begin
A curious citizen who wanted to examine the house
An unexpected surprise being a mouse
Suddenly the house went into a surge
The curious citizen became the house purge
The house became a cage capturing a human mouse
Yet this was a human becoming the house trap
The story was told by various citizens, the remarks were followed by a lot of crap
Beyond anyone’s mind
Timing being precise and it wasn’t mine
A house having nothing but darkness
Yet there wasn’t any witness
A house being its unknown with a surprise that is always shown
Spotlight being the captive who ever enters
A house with an everlasting end, and afterwards eternity being until
When.

DRAMATIC PLATFORM

My life that wasn’t even promised
My vintage tracing back my words in being honest
Death wanted to pay me a visit
But God said there is a limit
Yet Death was determined to take to an undesired place
In my mind I tried to erase
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
Heaven smiled on me as Death wasn’t my time
This was a time to continue living and truly shine
The surrounds of my past all come to mind
My hand extended up
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
I am strong in the Holy Sprit and for that I have been given merit
My life written in the clouds
All this in what is being allowed
Death will see another day, but for now there is nothing more for me to say.

Every year it is always the same
It’s enough to make a Turkey go insane
We are the feast
This will be my getaway at ease
I will hop on a Greyhound bus
I am definitely avoiding the fuss
My travelling is a must
This will be a permanent vacation
I am feeling the appreciation
This will be the Turkey’s thanks
I intend to always be a Turkey among
Greyhound will take me to my journey being nothing but fun
A lane changer being no pun
This Turkey is on a scheduled run
A Turkey only understands
The same old tradition of dinner tables having the Turkey as the main course
I am taking action being the force
Feeling at ease while taking in the refreshing breeze
Lying on a Florida beach
They can’t catch me now as I am hard to reach
The sun will be me a Golden tan
Dinner tables will have to find another plan
Thanksgiving is my take away
I won’t be caught by no ax
This Turkey is controlling the facts
Florida might be my permanent stay
Dinner Tables I will always astray
My leisure moment and I am ok
Being the serving never on any day
Dinner tables can have their feast, I am free to breathe at ease.

Let’s play ball
Hank Aaron’s achievement that was seen by all
Through the years of discrimination
But it was talent that echoed out being Hank Aaron’s attention
Being Afro-American, he made history illustrating his presentation
He was a man of honor and truth
Hank Aaron who felt consequences but conquered them
Yet, he offers this encouragement, “Never give up, but always continue believing”
Believing in the impossible, but comes as expectation
The wonder surrounding inspiration
Hank Aaron the man no matter what
He believed in himself while others had doubt
But seeing Hank Aaron perform on the Baseball field, a determined and destined Baseball Player
Civil Rights was a plight during his generation
But he brought all barriers to achieve history in his life
Atlanta Braves was the term he made victory
But bravery is the story
Heaven is now his glory
His journey was ******* Earth
But he is now enriched in Heaven’s redeemed birth
His story of baseball is in all the history books
All one has to do is take a look
Fame follows throughout time
But now, Hank Aaron is at Rest and peace
Heaven knows
Hank Aaron’s life still has a glow
Remember him, and don’t cry
He is free to roam everlasting
Home run to Heaven at last

My idea in writing a book
For years I wrote down some words
Every day it was voice in being heard
The story of thrills of a roller coaster life
The notions that I may need advice
An eerie jolt of words that will attract
My sentence dialog of my back track
The hand as it opened the door
The mystery of something happened with the floor
It began to buckle and shake
It actually felt like a quake
My family spirits restless
One’s breath of confess
Words that I cannot say
Suddenly my mind seems to have gone astray
It is the writing feeling that is to be
Your expectations of me for all to see
All this will be from a book
All you have to do is take a look
To feel is to experience
Influence with the energy of endurance.

RIP OFF KILL
preservationman May 2016
An invite on Linkedin
Here’s my story from the very begin
It all started with me filling out the application
The invite said no cost and will include
Yet as the story continues, there was elevating fortitude
As the woman continued on the phone, she stated the conversation would be recorded
But my questions were, why was my 34 years experience cut down to and my education pushed up several years?
To no surprise, I got no answer to my questions
I already I knew this was a rip off
The lady talked on and persuasion being ever so long
She stated I would get a personal URL, Business Profile, Lifetime Membership, but I had to send a personal picture and a business card via email
But wait, it gets even deeper
I started asking, “How much is this going to cost?
Once again, the woman stated, I will get to that in a moment
The woman continued on in what I would get
But my mind was already on saying I regret
Than came pricing of $900.00
My answer was way to much, but what happened to being free
Free being the key to attract someone like me
Yet no one gets anything for nothing
The woman even had the nerve to reduce amount to $400.00 then $200.00 then $99.00
I simply told her no thanks, but she continued on and I hung up
Don’t be taken for attempted rip off opportunities
Examine from the very start
Show the rip off folks that you are smart
Then they will have to automatically depart.

Heart problems with Cancer that has spread
Discussions with the patient’s family beyond compare
The hour having not much time to spare
Dr. Blake’s patient is suffering with pain
The Angering hours will continue to remain
Timely is everything
Medical Technology can’t help the patient to survive
I have done all the research and spoken to other specialist doctor’s with all having the same results
We can do more for the patient
The family is suggesting if there were any more tests that could be done
But over and over, there is none
All we can do is just wait
Destiny has the date
Dr. Blake sits in his office feeling more like a tiny room
The moment of announcement that could be soon
The patient is sleeping as comfortably as possible
Possibilities having no options
Suddenly Dr. Blake was summoned to the patient’s room
Announcement made throughout the hospital
When Dr. Blake entered the patient’s room, the patient was dead
Even though the hospital staff was trying to revive the patient, senseless tries failed
Death was the patient’s call
Establishment having no stall

Misleading evidence having some speculation
Here and there also having some indication
The Grand Jury was determining if or should a trial begin and if the Police Officer should be charged
Months upon months in a Jury room of while
When the verdict finally came, the Police Officer was released
But there were many things that needed to come up
It seems no one wanted to seriously talk about

Yet a continued investigation still needs to clear the air
But the nation is on warning in beware

Another bullet has taken another name

It seems Police just be ready to take aim
Something must give, as this cannot remain

DESTINY ACROSS

It all started from a young Canadian boy to become one day a high wire walking act performer
Well a boy thinking the vision in tall order
A Canadian boy who would often perform on the streets of Montreal
He would do acrobatic tricks and magic with sticks
Inspiration truly came from watching Circus High Wire Walking Professionals
It was skill and precision being the technique that caught the young Canadian boy
But the boy had a name, it was “AMPLER” meaning robotic stunts in human form
Ampler would often practice with two small trees in the backyard of the house
It was always practice, practice and more practice
It the mission to master until he became a professional apprentice
But the big true picture was crossing the Niagara Falls from Canadian to American side and back
But the question was always how and when?
A careful study thoroughly from beginning to end
But Ampler needed professional advice
It was getting through all the proper loopholes
Turning perfection into behold
The now adult Ampler was now going to be named, “Accomplisher” the wire walker in attempt
A mindset to achieve
Block out doubt from others in deceive
No time for love affairs
A movement to prosper and the theory to preserver
A test run was made over Niagara Falls
Courage with action and not stall
Walking across the falls for audiences being the multitudes for all
The actual moment in walking across the FALL’S was now
Accomplisher took a deep breath and started his descent
His destiny establishing victory
He made the records being history.

The Earth spins and continues to spin
A wind blows, but there is a change to begin
Whispers try to speak, but the echoes are just too weak
Change is about to come
But living could be next to none
Cracks are starting to form on the Earth
Scientists are predicting it’s a new birth
But the Earth is getting hotter and hotter with destruction being its name
Our understanding has been lame
We constantly miss the bull’s eye having no aim
So what am I supposed to do?
Does anybody even have a clue?
Years of polluting, but the price has become a toll
Evilness has struck, and we are our own foe
But all you can say is “SO”
Yet the Earth is accelerating with time
But have you truly changed and what residue will remain?
No time to think nor plan
The Earth Spirals, and it has become an endless peril.

One particular song that comes to mind is “SHINING STAR”
Anyone can be a star, but can they shine?
Maurice White was his own shining star
Turning a ballad into a beat
Giving dancers of all ages a real treat
Mr. White knew how to make everyone dance and feel the songs with a tap of their feet
His shine being his smile in knowing he had talent
But it was the group together known as Earth, Wind and Fire
However in my terms of Satisfaction, Commitment and Desire
It was the music that made people feel the mood and love in soothe
Maurice White had nothing to prove, as it was music along that did that
But this is a memory as a look back
His singing voice had women chanting
But it was the introduction of romance being the night
Ballads after ballads of love being forever
Mr. White lived out his shining star
He is in Heaven and has gone far
Mr. White is now in Heaven’s eyes
It shouldn’t be any surprise
The music beat has come to a slow
Yet Mr. White says, just follow my flow
Earth, Wind and Fire has slowed down
Their music will still be around
To all of us here on Earth, we need to keep our feet on solid ground
Melodies are many
But it is the praises that stand out
This is Maurice White that I have been talking about
He wants us to cherish his music that made us dance
This was an opportunity being his chance
His spirit has been lifted up and advanced
His legacy stating, “Thanks for letting me entertain, but my heart of appreciation will forever always remain”.

The word “Abundantly” comes at every phrase Jesus says

Trials and Tribulations were mire test

I am learning about Faith, which only Jesus can teach best
Jesus told me the Devil would often try to attack
But when you are a Child Of God, the Devil will have no control but to step back
Walk with me yonder
You will continue to achieve understanding and having nothing to ponder
Born Again being my time from when
Struggles are a part of life

Cheers of welcome could be heard far away in distances from any town

A Prince making an entrance just might be found
Perhaps if Princess Alley does a waltz, her Prince will come
As Princess alley stepped to the center of the ball, she was dressed in Red and white sequins with a crown of Gold with a touch of red which she started with her own dance
A Prince who was in Black and white stepped up to Princess Alley and kissed her hand and made his dance advance
They both danced like shining chandeliers
Princess Alley and Prince Courtney continued in their preserver
Suddenly they both broke out into an enchanted finale kiss

Mr. Big was a Gambling and Player Mobster
You could say he was large like a Lobster
Mr. Big stood 6’3 dangerous tall
He was also known too all
He appeared like a Monster if he was to attack
In fact, if you were to hit him with a baseball bat it would crack
Money and Ladies is what Mr. Big was about
When it came to romantic interludes, it would be oh Mr. Big in shout
Mr. Big was heavy in Gambling
Heavy sums in money, and if he didn’t win, a few broken bones on oppositions
Well Mr. Big was large and in charge and didn’t need any permission
After all, Mr. Big had the name for a reason
It had nothing to do with seasons
Yet Mr. Big was a big spender
He wore expensive Diamond Rings, and Gold plated Bracelets with Custom made suits
Mr. Big was big in business pursuits
He also had tattoos on both arms that read, “BIG BY CHOICE”
When Mr. Big enters a room attention is mounted on the spot
Woman would stare upon stare and couldn’t stop
The woman were like butter and would melt just by the sheer size of Mr. Big
I should also mention Mr. Big had bulging muscles on his arms
Mr. Big might be considered as a King Kong alarm
One could always see a mobster with detail
Everything to gain and nothing to fail
One time Mr. Big got into a fight with another Mobster known as “The Shield” and Mr. Big’s suit sleeves Jacket rip with stress from his anger
It was apparent of the look at Mr. Big’s biceps being a tip
But that didn’t stop the Shield in intimidation
So the fight was on
The mission, there’s only room for one mobster and that’s Mr. Big, Chief Mobster
Mr. Big and The Shield had their bout
There was definitely no way out
The Shield attempted to toss Mr. Big but he was too big
You dig
Mr. Big picked up the shield like it was nothing
It was as if the Shield was weights
Mr. Big later dropped the Shield hard, and the Shield was knocked out cold
Mr. Big was powerful and bold
Well Mr. Big won and proved he was the true king pin
Mr. Big wants you to wager your bets
This is as good as it is going to get
Mr. Big conquered and saw
No need for me too go further and continue in explore.

Don’t debate with yourself
Go deep within your emotions that becomes the change of self
You shouldn’t be like everybody else
The theory of achieve is knowing you can achieve
The focus of receive is the appreciation of established accomplishments
Honor having dignity
Understanding and knowing how to fact reality
By all means, don’t pity yourself
But think of yourself being important like nobody else
The best voice for encouragement is the specific individual alone
I am trying to be a motivational speaker and the outline in letting it be known
Be upbeat like sticks to drums
Step into the sunshine from the shadows being among

Let no take you for granted in labeling you less
If I can do it, so can anybody else
I am the example you can achieve it if you do it right
There were times of darkness of uncertainty, but I came through with a guiding light
I have been asked, “When do I plan to retire”?
Well is tomorrow too soon
I am not at retirement age
Too many people that would be an amaze
I am not at retirement yet
But that does come with a regret
But my work is far from done with blessings that I will continue being among.

BLACKMAN UNFOLDS
preservationman Jul 2023
A world of wonder, but no delight
Anguished with always under plight
Living life doesn’t come easy
Struggles that can become overbearing
Love that is not love at the other end
The unfamiliar blend
Trying to fit in as a Blackman is at end
When you try to explain
It becomes lies by response
True spoken words
Not heard
No one listens
Emotions break out
Even tears
Cries being from a Blackman
Thinking positive is not always an option
Staying away from negativity almost impossible
Possibly forming maybe, could be or never
As a Blackman being the center of attention
Transgression
A black man wonders will he be alive or dead
Thought to think on
Sometimes it’s hard to even get along
A fight here and misunderstanding there
Am I understood
I can’t control what I feel
It is a big deal
Is this what the Black man is about?
Racism at all angles
Is this the way the Black man is to live?
I wonder, truly wonder
No resolutions only conclusions
Drawing only from personal experiences
Having gone through instances
A Black man only understands
I am a Black man
I speak
The Black man knows
The world doesn’t understand, but won’t
I am expected to accept
But I won’t.

MY TEARS THAT FALL
preservationman Dec 2014
My tears often come down my face
Situations of the world I wish I could erase
The act of violence that is out of control
Then there’s the momentum in behold
I can’t even close my sleepy eyes
I feel I must apologize
Yet the world seems totally confused
Perhaps the appropriate term of being used
Civil Rights documentation of dignity and feeling proud of whom you are
It shouldn’t be like a community with an unwelcomed gate
This we all can relate
It shouldn’t be a drama of fate
Nor **** a life and think this is being straight
When will the killing of people stop?
Why so much killing of a cop?
Revenge is no one’s reward
It’s disobedience being a strike of the sword
The world won’t heal overnight
However it cannot continue as an ongoing plight
There is a song, “BREATH OF HEAVEN” and that is our light
Tomorrow shouldn’t be a forgotten yesterday
But a future that clearly states what tomorrow should actually be
The world’s eyes in full focus for all too see
Change must start from within
Otherwise there is no reason for begin
The question is as of when?
Total unity coming from then to can
Then true living of prosperity to the very end.

HAWAIIAN BUDGE
preservationman Aug 2019
Hula to the shores
I see a Tsunami coming which I can’t ignore
I guess my hula caused a tidal wave
Ok hips, you need to behave
The hula must be done just right
But looking at my hips is a pitiful sight
Even the sun looks mad
Now that makes me feel sad
So much for the hula skirt
People on the beach are making a smirk
Let me stop using the hula with my hips before I cause an Earthquake
Even Heaven is saying, “For peak sake”
I guess one would have to give or take
Now attempting to do to the hula I do believe was a big mistake.

A POET’S HOLIDAY
preservationman Dec 2016
It was the holiday feeling where a Poet needed to write
From Poet to Poet, it was holiday greetings in being polite
A Poet writing sitting in a chair by the fireplace
As the Poet was at home, the snow started coming down
The feeling of Christmas was heard being the sound
While the Poet was at home, he didn’t worry because he was warm by the fireplace
Suddenly there were echoes of ranging bells
It was familiar being a Christmas Carol, and the Poet could tell
But what really surprised the Poet were his own words giving him holiday cheer being total inspiration
The Poet wrote many times, but being extra careful in not saying the wrong words
Even a little mouse sat and observed every word in the write on the Poet’s page
Both the Poet and the Mouse were amazed
But the snow outside got even heavier
In fact, it had become a snowstorm
So the Poet thought, “How would Santa travel through the storm?”
The Poet felt it was time to go to bed
The Lantern was turned off
Later the Poet felt into a deep sleep
Suddenly, Santa arrived and came down the chimney being his normal stride
But Santa’s Reindeer certainly had to hide
Santa left the Poet a special book, “Inspiring Poets in the Know”
Later, Santa took off and dashed away in the night
Well the Poet woke up Christmas morning and was surprised in seeing the book
Page after page, the Poet took a look
If you dream and believe enough comes with possibilities
Well the Poet appreciated the book
This was a Poet’s Holiday
Just like Rudolph, the Poet went down in history
Yet to others being false hopes, and to others no mystery
A Poet who writes today becomes words yonder ever after.
preservationman Apr 2015
Words that came with being inspired from the sky
It was those thoughts being notions with learning in how to be wise
The Poet’s voice being the connection of my true self
As a Poet, we have our own secret like nobody else
The clouds being the platform in setting the stage
The Poet’s true heart in what would amaze
The freedom of expression
A Poet’s lesson being the indication
The Poet’s mystique setting the romantic vibe
The sentences combined describes the Poet’s written scribe
A Poet’s thoughts comes from making many strides
A true poet who only knows
What became suppose is what the dialog that showed
Eye on inspiration
Eye on condition
The words in what you see
Your thinking in what they could be
The Poet’s mind wanders
The ideas that are complex and how they ponder
A Poet takes you on a trip
Yet upon reading you discover a tip
A Poet can always transcend because it’s the reader’s mind that lets the Poet in. It’s a new beginning with a different approach. While its one that writes, and it is the other one that thinks.

FAITH EMBODIED
preservationman Jul 2019
In church on Sunday gone, one of the Ministers within the church preached a sermon with the theme, “WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?”
Look at the world in turmoil
People are living with not believing in Faith on this Earth soil\
How many people do you think don’t have Faith?
Too many to count huh
You would be counting into everlasting
Faith is a matter in having hope in believing
The blessings come when Faith is for you in receiving
But doubt seems to overshadow keeping people from reaching Faith altogether
Whether or not one believes in Faith, doubt only becomes temporary where Faith will take over
If you want hope, one must be open to believe
In order to overcome any struggle, one must believe there is assurance in overcoming
There is False Hope
This is where one thinks they can’t cope
But it is Faith that helps you cope and gives you hope
True Faith is moving through a storm and knowing you won’t be harmed
That is true Faith with the full garment of assurance
The full praise influence
Assurance you can count on through Faith
You are never alone
Yet Faith will always let itself be shown
The fulfillment being known
So try Faith when things get you down
Start believing and watch as Faith picks you up and praising being your sound.

THE CHRISTMAS WRITER
preservationman Nov 2015
Beyond the beard of Santa and reindeer
A dream beyond the Christmas tree shine
A moment to reflect coming from a writer’s mind
It all started in Bethlehem and the North Star
It was a journey ever so far
The night sky being feeling like a curtain
Endless desert dust swirling and all around with a blindness end
A room for a night, but their was no vacancies in the Inn becoming a plight
The story of Mary and Joseph carrying a newborn babe
Oh life in what it seemed
An Angel appeared and said have no fear
Hold that babe close and near
You are carrying the newborn King who will help many to preserver
Carry on and you will make it to your destination
Well that is what Mary and Joseph did
Mary gave birth
A new creation upon the Earth
The news got out
It was a newborn babe with words spreading in shout
Wise men from all over travelled to see this new born
A wonder it was and it seemed like a wake up from a yond
Gifts were presented and everyone bowed
The North Star being the spotlight
A twinkle of spirit
The celebration adding to the merit
There was singing and rejoicing in the air
The night being magnificent and fair
Join me in singing, Oh Come all He Faithful
This is what the Christmas writer thought
The true meaning of Christmas
Later the page that was saved for another day
Happy Holidays to all, the writer wants to say
The Christmas writer is saying thanks for letting him come your way
I hope you have been captivated and the joy that will stay.

SOLAR SYSTEM SURPRISE
New planet called PLANET GHETTO
Scientist didn’t expect and know nothing about
Telescopes had no effect in sighting
Mars said, “Don’t look here”
The Milky Way responded, “Don’t even come our way”
The Moon stated, “Don’t even think about it”
What do these planets know about Planet Ghetto that we don’t
I certainly won’t perpetuate
A planet that became a create
Planet Ghetto appeared out of nowhere in space
Not much to say
Don’t bring any Earth waste
Being new to the Solar System
In fact, all the planets are protesting that they don’t share the solar system with anyone
NASA says beware with care, and they must study more for sure
Planets have made history with stories
There are still some mysteries
Planet Ghetto certainly is a surprise
No one had any idea nor realize
Unknown element in the principle
Planet Ghetto distance far
You won’t even find any car
Don’t expect to look like Earth
Planet Ghetto being a new birth
No comparison to Earth.

THE QUESTION IS
preservationman Jun 2017
Why is it people will believe a Meteorologist?
But when it comes to the Lord, it’s having no Faith at all
Why is it the Heavenly Father who controls, people turn away?
The Heavenly one is the one who can destroy and move elements being Almighty
This is reality
Why is it people will read a novel book or computer news from beginning to end, but won’t pick up a Bible and read a scripture waiting on when?
The Bible has stories that actually happened or is prophesized to happen
But people just don’t believe
Yet the Lord is the one that gives relief
He also offers strength during grief
So why is the separation in who believes
Man functions on possibilities and assumptions
The Lord being Almighty in definite
Assurance you can trust
These are all added pluses
People tend to think they are their own victorious
But the Lord is involved and it is he who does the problems in resolve
So many more questions after questions
The question is, have you truly found the definite answer?
The answer is the environment was created not by man, but a more superior being
Man can think, but wisdom comes from understanding through the Superior
Man can’t construct nor destroy
Man is the decoy, but the powerful one instills the joy.
preservationman Sep 2014
The spirits from another world
A transformation in making the mind swirl
Another life being more than transcend
A moment in accelerate in begin
A battle among evil
The Officer being the Devil
The clouds that darken the moon
A hidden light with the harken gloom
Spirits will reign supreme
An eerie voice in the world only knows what that means
Blood with decaying flesh
An eye on the right and nothing on the left
The spirits being unrest
It is the humans being put to the test
Evil from down below
A moment in thinking although
The moon in the distance disappeared
The night has become full of fear
Many questions of who to trust being near
The spirits stork the night as to who will preserver, and at what price, in shearing a tear?

UNCLE DIXIE JOE
preservationman Jul 2016
A drunken old man
Music from his past being the caravan
Down by the bayou
You would have to be Southern in order to pursue
Uncle Joe performed when Race was an issue
When he tells his tail, he often needs a tissue
Yet my Uncle was meant to be on stage
His sheer talent the world often was amazed
But he made a vow that no one is going to make him stop
He worked too hard and was determined to make it to the top
Uncle Joe would tap and move to the beat of rhythm
His hands and dance reminiscing a spiritual hymn
Even other past celebrities would always reframe
But Uncle Joe was total entertainment being the aim
However, his was an entertainer that welcomed change
But you had to prove in what needed to be rearranged
Uncle Joe had his own virtues
He stood out because his civil rights made him strong
No struggle was going to stop him in getting along
Draw your own conclusion if you will
Uncle Joe achieved and the fact that he is old, he wants to perform still
He was his own masterpiece in craft in having a marquee fitting the bill
From time to time he must take a medicated pill
Anybody wanting to step into his shoes, you must have talent in order to fill.

DISTANCE MEMOIR
preservationman Jul 2014
The story of one’s life of a past far away
Words fitting into sentences certainly looks ok
The dazzle of living
The rewards within giving
The wisdom in being in the know
Yet the comfort of surrounding clouds going with the flow
I remember a rich Aunt
A woman with a mansion and acres of land
All this from her wealth at her demand
Seasons with the years
The determination that helped preserver
The sunset was a wondrous thought
The pain and agony to seek and now I have found
The hands extended and my life was given back
I wrote down words of my trail
It was the moment when I was alone
Heaven guided the writing hands in letting it be known
The events were written that truly happened
Prosperity became a reality
A memoir being enlightened within a chosen society.

CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
preservationman Nov 2016
It was a weekend spent in Virginia Beach
The trip took a long time to reach
It was through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel
Then finally reaching in 6 hours
But that was getting to the destination
Homeward bound was up close and personal in becoming direct
It had that affect
We journeyed back taking the same I-95 route
However, our Bus Driver stated he wanted to get close to Washington, DC
Well that wasn’t a bad idea or was it?
We entered in what we thought was the Harbor Tunnel look alike
I realized it wasn’t the tunnel after all because there were busts of past Presidents and there were turnoffs for Senators throughout
When we looked up, we were in the Capitol right under the Rotunda
It was a very historical sight along with sunbeams giving light
How’s that for Washington close up
Right in the heart and where history and decisions are made
Yet we managed to get out and maneuver around all the Capitol Statues
Just what were the Statues you ask, what else, some past Presidents
As we got out, the Bus Driver wanted directions to I-95
A walking passerby was asked, but was told, we were already on it
Now that was an embarrassing moment
Well the Nation’s Capitol saying thanks for entering in
Sorry your visit came to an end
The thought, remember to plan ahead in the route, and that is when and moving to can.

A TARGETED SOUL
preservationman Apr 2016
Father I cry
My tears flow like a fountain
My heart continues to be weary
I need comfort to quite it my soul
I need God’s holy spirit to help me look up and see behold
A son loss in a struggle of despair
Yet you are the Savior that no one can compare
I pray deep
I need your mercy in keep
Your spirit tells me through darkness there is a light
This light is in remembrance in helping you overcome your plight
Trust in the above
Jesus the almighty to think of
A scar being a cut
I know it doesn’t sound like much
But God delivers and he does comfort

A sunrise with a darkened heart
A triggered shot with a hushed voice
Acceleration of life with tomorrow having no meaning
Another soul to sleep
The Devil’s demise in attempt to keep
God’s eye in wonder
Heavenly soul gone yonder
A young life cut short from the score
A question of justice in needing to explore
A time to pray
A nation in turmoil not feeling ok
The question being is when will the violence end?
My Tears on what will tomorrow be?
An uncertain pause of wait and see

Life we question in what it seems
However, it is the praying hands given to above
Once again it is Heaven that we think of
Endure in the goodness
I am the witness
To sleep is only a victory on a new tomorrow
A sunrise will return
Everyday living being an urn
God can and will
But continue to think on God still
God will comfort in your distress
But believing in faith your own personal test
Everlasting, fulfillment and joy as the final word
An ending sermon in have you heard
Peace unto you
The praises that is due
Walk in stride as you take God’s word to abide
My lips in one last kiss
Heaven’s doors open wide and remembering the hour in your stride.
preservationman Oct 2016
Could it be romance with the air of the kiss?
Perhaps the passion beyond
The ****** in a mystery with the Police investigating above
A time when the Earth didn’t remain still and survival was all in a pill
A Thriller meeting Evil and Good, but could you withstand the circumstances being a struggle
Death unto you who revenge against Evil
There’s a thief in the house, and what do you do but hide underneath your bed
The Moon cries with every passing cloud, but it is time that will only allow
A shot rang out or a knife was thrown, and there was a ******, but who did it and why?
Achievement has a way in becoming effort in excel
Each every chapter of a novel will tell
The Witch casted a spell and it becomes a magical tail
The novel continues, but follow me in the trail
News Flash, residents claim they have seen an actual Sea God
Ships have sailed in violent waters and angry skies
Novel can provide in its own surprises
It can become your only realize
The book that has its story to reveal
The accord can certainly be or seem for real
A title alone says to the reader, I am the book you need to read
I am that novel you need to proceed
The Author’s ideas and commotion of powers within thought
A journey being a sought
Chapters upon moments
But don’t conclude until done
Reading a book can be relaxing and fun.

Share being the male and Bare being the female
As for Bare, a female who would have show and tell in a heart beat
Before you could say well, you already would be given a showcase treat
Now as to how Share and Bare met was somewhat a questionable event
It was a fantastic party in which they went
It was a party when Share and Bare glazed into each others eyes it was like Heaven sent
Now imagine looking into each other’s eyes
It was that very moment Share received an unopened surprise
It was very revealing
But perhaps that might not have been too wise
All this happened in front of everyone at the party
It might have been embarrassing to most, and Share didn’t even boost
Share just took it in his stride, and was confidence and didn’t hide
Nonetheless they became a loving couple together
They are definitely like no other
Share and Bare were like two birds that were linked together like the wind
They went from then into a loving blend
They are still in everlasting love and will be until the end.

Think like the yellow pages fingers in the walk
Don’t spend too much time in just plain talk
Let your mouth be constructive words

Be determined and take charge

Prepare yourself and thinking you are the best
Let your skills speak for you in being your test
But always be ready and answer in confess
Say this is your year

It doesn’t what level of your career of where you are

Follow the R&B; line, “MAKE THAT MOVE”
Turn your career search like a smooth groove

It has become more and more harder to wake up with a yond

My sight has gone dim
However, I am deep in my self-conscious being a whim
I remember my youth being athletic
Back in my school days, I ran track, swam and lifted weights
Those were my dates as I relate
Young and full of energy
I would have many women to date
But time as expired, and age says I am too late
I am an old man walking with a cane
I have aches and pains that shall remain
But I won’t concentrate and complain
I lived my life in how it was meant to be
My wife passed on after 45 years of marriage
We met in college and became lovebirds
Tomorrow became today being remembrance in heard
My heart wants to shout, but my mind has no uttering words
Old age in how I gained wisdom
It won’t be long before I will be entering the Heavenly kingdom
My wife and I will be reunited once again
It’s in God’s hands of when
Old man with a thinking mind and sincere heart
Hope in Heaven, and target everlasting.

DREAM SET

My dreams come, but my mind doesn’t give in
A crystal ball being my already mind set
Inside being hollow
It’s only a straight line to follow
A short walk into the subconscious
Questions having no answers
A song I remember being the impossible dream
A past dream I recall being me and a stream
Never knew what that dream mean
No fish were in
I am right back to thinking from when
Expectations were actually hesitations
Perhaps imaginations gone wild
Happenings of the mind during while
Yet the mind takes me on a journey
The destination is always unknown
Maybe a theory of overbearing in being fullblown
My dreams are starting where my life all began
There is no dream conclusion, as we haven’t reached the end
A dream on my mind, but the outcome could very well be sublime.

THE STRENGTH TO CLIMB

Oh mountain high
There are mountains for me to climb and I ask why?
The Lord responded, “You have been in the valley long enough”
I am going to prepare you to be rugged and tough
However, I don’t you to take this as a *****
The mountains looked like they had steps
The length was steep
As I climbed my legs began to feel weak
I am the Lord with encouragement and this is no time to retreat
The Devil wants you to be succumbed in defeat
I am the Lord who is almighty and the Devil’s beat
Climb that mountain and continue to climb
Reaching the peak will be your reward
I will honor you with a golden sword
All you have to do is, “Oh Thank You Lord”
The reason I wanted you out of the valley because there is a more definite tomorrow that you haven’t seen
As you continue to live, you will see what I mean
Notice the horizon in the distance
Look how quick it transformed in an instance
Possibilities illustrated into a swift assurance
I gave you the strength and endurance
I wanted you to see just how you will influence
Now go tell others
Let your experience be told to one another
Tears don’t last forever
Cries are only in the conquest
Mountains are as solid as you want them to be
This is what I wanted you to see
Prosper beyond the enemies expectations
Give them no answer to numerous questions
Give them no accusations
You have fulfilled my sustaining test
You will become one of the best
The mountains were only an example
Now go my servant
Spread your good news
You have nothing to lose
Amen and I must conclude.

TOMORROW REVERSED

Yesterday I thought I conquered in order to move on
Somehow my tomorrow never came
But did I see the vision of my aim
Perhaps I am being just lame
In my head the bitterness of my shame
Tomorrow comes for only who try
My forgotten heart in its own cry
A tomorrow with a held back Hour Glass
My tomorrow will not be coming fast
But how long will all this last?
A decree is no degree
A bird soars in knowing how to be free
What does yesterday want of me?
A true heart with a destiny
One soul showing no one pity
A shadow not recognized
But being intrigued in fully energized
Tomorrow being my reminder to excel
But be confident in ability that will sell and tell
My tomorrow will be
Just wait and see.
