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 TURKEY’S LAST REQUEST
preservationman Nov 2014
Please don’t **** nor eat me
Find a Duck to eat you see
Just because it’s a tradition on Thanksgiving Day
There must be another meat to eat I say
Try another solution being another way
Now put that ax away
I am determined it won’t be my neck on this day
I will continue to gobble until the very end
I hope the ax just bends
Then you won’t be able to begin
I will not die in defeat
You will not try me like I am some treat
As a Turkey, we are strong and I will use my feat
This is a Turkey rebel and you will see and I won’t tell
I am not no Butterball too be put on the shelf to sell.

THE STORY OF LIFE
preservationman Feb 2015
Months upon months as anticipation all kept in
The moment of birth that will begin
Eye’s open in seeing the world for the very first time
A baby testing lungs in a whine
Stages of life in parents teaching their babe
Then there’s a lesson of obedient called behave
Years will roll on and on
Each stage the babe becomes strong
Later it will be schooling
It will be the concepts within fundamentals learning tools
The teenage years in how to laugh and be cool
A time to explore and learn how too preserver
Your heart always being close and very near
Years continuing and rolling on
Finding place in society of where one belongs
Being inspired and with a foundation in being strong
Life is truly a moment too moment thing
The idea of living the life is letting it become a shining bling.

SUDDEN ENCOUNTER
preservationman Dec 2014
I was hiking in the woods
I saw a bear in my presence from where I stood
I couldn’t move if I could
My first instinct was to run
Then I thought I would be out done
But at this point this wasn’t a game of being fun
I didn’t move fast as I didn’t want to confuse the bear
But at the same time I didn’t want the bear to come near
I tried to reason and you better believe with care
Every tense moment was an eye on eye of beware
The bear was hungry and saw I had food
Yet my food was in my bag and I didn’t want to be a fool
Suddenly the bear started to roar
Being in the woods, this was no time to explore
I felt this was a good time to move
There was absolutely nothing for me to prove
I spotted a lake with the bear on my trail
I had a plan and I knew it couldn’t fail
I maneuvered quickly through the lake
It was careful steps in the take
The bear then decided it would hesitate
But I was prepared in anticipate
A situation that could have happened
But my life was sparred
I could breathe in the wood’s fresh air
An encounter being face to face
Quick thinking with no time to waste
I was able to continue with my hike
My experience told me not to create a plight.

THE AUTHOR KNOWS
preservationman Mar 2017
A narration of an Author with many ideas
Then there’s a caution accompanied with fear
It was many stories to talk about
There was also bitterness turning into a bout
A few of the stories as they were
The Author describes that moment he was hit by a speeding car, and the impact could have been death
The inspiration was the Author still had time left
In between, there was sadness when his Mother died
He had no desire to live and loss all his pride
But the Author remembered his Mother told him often, it is God that you should abide
Yet the Author’s Mother had dignity and honor with divine inspiration that she did provide
His Mother’s living words, “Son, there will be words of utterance, but God is the life in calm and tolerance. Sorrow is only for a day, but tomorrow is the hope and reason to live. However do remember, don’t cry for me, but rejoice in the blessing that is to be. Heaven is and will always be inspiring to one’s soul and spirit and I am going home to be with thee. I lived my life abundantly and you already have the foundation of my uplifting advice.”
Well the Author became energized
His Mother’s true words he did realize
Wonders of behold of thy amazed
My Mother often would give God praise
His Mother’s spirit may have gone up, but the Author’s life was already planned being set up
No one knows what tomorrow will bring
Oh the Author learned well as continued living being the thing
The Author knows all about revolving chapters, but it is God in all that matters
Being committed to complete
Breaking barriers and overcoming defeat
The Author told the story straight
Some might present hate
Others don’t want to relate
Then again, it is about appreciate
But the narration stands by itself, and wasn’t late
Now one might want to debate
However, the Author brought the story together which we all can associate
But again to all readers to appreciate
Now the Author offers all of us advice, “Pull any book from any book shelf and feel inspired”
The truth is not to tire
Time limits are the persons with no time to spare
But the mission is, “Write when you can, and continue to control on when”.

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 NEW HORIZON
preservationman Nov 2014
It was 1902 on the New Horizon 101 train schedule
There was a fancy party aboard
The schedule was from New York City to Kansas City, Kansas being explored
But as the party went on, the engineer completely ignored
A terrible storm blew
It was wind, rain and lightening being the slew
As the passenger train was trotting on its route
Suddenly the train derailed and turned over and over into a final pause about
It was determined there were no survivors
As years went on there was no longer interest being shown
Everyone felt this story was nothing more than a myth
But today is the anniversary of the final crash and perished lives
One night a ghost locomotive engine could be heard in the distance
Citizens were awakened in a sleep as a quick instance
Spirits unrest in moans being the deceased passengers
Human life cannot contest
The passenger train spirits were roaming the rails
A night of remembrance of the encore of prevail
A spiritual train with only souls that remain
Yet the moon being hidden
The souls in stalking in an unbelieving forsaken
An arrival of the Spirit of New Horizon with no schedule nor destination to arrive
The theory of the aftermath being taken in living one’s strive
Rails with no train and the eerie feeling of lives that remain
Yet moans continue to be heard as souls being the herd
The engine with no aspect
The microscope being investigative in what one would expect
The spirits will continue to roam
They hold the key in what should be known
Yet the Spirit New Horizon looking for new souls
A world unknown
The human population that will be blown
It’s quiet for now, but what is the reason being how?
We will never know
It’s the railing place and the soul’s having the face.

HELL CONFUSING THE EARTH
preservationman Apr 2015
The Devil is really getting around
He is corrupting people minds in being bound
All you have to do is just look around
It’s hatred against foe
The eyes of revelation in Oh!
A hand extended out then taken back
Yet the continued confusion has become a stack
The frustration is holding others back, but at the same time they continue to lack
Attitudes that could raise the Richter scale
Holding back to no prevail
Hell having its own name and who wants to tell?
A lot of people all just say oh well
This is what the Devil truly wants to sell
Yet Hell seems to expel that Earth is Hell’s shell
Confusion still emulates
It’s a weaken barrier of hesitate
A Devil’s voice of getting volunteers to participate
The multitudes caught in Hell’s net
The idea is don’t let it become the Devil’s game as a bet
It’s Heaven’s name in let.

Mama, I always wanted to perform
But you kept telling me Church is the norm
Mama you said, “Sing for the glory of the Lord”
It’s the Heavens being the accord
Before you know it, my Daughter will be on Drugs, Alcohol and partying all hours of the night
I pray because that alone scares me with fright
Girl, God is the guiding light
Why are you so uptight and that you must sing?
Mama, my singing was meant for the world
My tone and pitch will make audiences swirl
I could have the audience on their feet
Mama’s response, but God can’t be beat
Your father and I have always given you inspiration through the church
It’s enrichment of Faith, and remember, God’s word is everlasting
However Mama, despite what you say, I am going on the road to sing
New York is my base, but there’s a world I want to explore
For now Mama, it’s the church I must ignore
Entertainment I must explore
First stop Japan then Europe
My bags are packed
My flight leaves at 6:00 pm
So Long Mama, this is something I must do.

A POET’S RESPONSE
preservationman Jan 2015
It was words from creativity of then
All this thinking had the Poet pondering on when
It was the moment sitting high above on a bridge
It was life being a privilege
The seven seas as they revolve
The feeling of the flowing breeze to think of
Suddenly the sun’s spotlight giving warmth all around
The movement of cars all making a sound
Yet the moment of life can be a sudden tap of death
A moment can be a second with fast acceleration
It doesn’t matter of age within the generation
But the source of a Poet’s quick write
Bringing from the heart and knowing how to excite
It’s the pen and paper on a specific quest
A computer and display screen as a back up in confirming the request
We all take one day at a time
Yet as a Poet we take thoughts with ideas in what’s combined
Understanding and wisdom in what experience has given
Education can only take you just so far
In order to achieve you must the experience scar
The inspiration coming from within and establishing a dialog at the end
The Poet is one that knows, and also wants to encourage all and yet instill in let your feelings show. Your ideas no one can take away. Your mind being its own human microchip and your creativity hidden just waiting to come out.
Words upon words, and this is what makes a Poet in what I am talking about.

A time to excel
Yet a moment that shall tell
The YES in thinking positive in making the effect
The YES, YESTERDAY, EDUCATION AND SUCCESS
It is you the individual of who will contest
Yesterday’s dream being in thought in where to start
Ready, set, go being education in the mark
Applying all the components of yesterday and education combined together

Everyone also thinks differently from the other
Success comes to knowing you have achieved leading to this point
It is a matter in what steps you shall take
It is also the efforts you shall make
Tomorrow being the future bringing today
Yet is the YES that your lips should say
Thinking negative will not be ok
I am trying to motivate you and see education being your assessment
Out of the assessment comes commodity
All this surrounds reality
Yes you will accomplish

Yes you and only you are distinguished
You are the reason, and your thinking is the vision
You determine your own career division
The yes in you, and now see what you can do as you pursue.

TO ACT OR NOT TOO ACT
preservationman Mar 2015
I was acting from a Shakespeare line
My heart was expelling in dramatics combined
My deepest emotions pouring out
I cried that thundered into a big shout
My voice of who I am holds no fear
It’s a new horizon that I hold near
Consequence is not my designated state
It’s how my ideas and aspirations come together in relate
Anger can be sharp s a ****** knife
But understanding is to think before and not twice
But should my life really go on
I have bound in these struggles for so long
My mind tells me I must be strong
I feel like a missing puzzle and there is no place where I belong
Yet I see sunshine with beacons of my shadow in the middle
The clouds seem to offer me encouragement from Heaven’s ways
The advice coming from Heaven in live, and enjoy the Earth stay
Depart not as a timing being on the spot
The idea is too have confidence and give life a shot
My woes became choses of I can win
With that thought, the curtain came down and the play was a finale at the end.

BULLIED JOUR

Beat down, but still around
My school days
Kicked and punched
All at once
Wounds with scars
Called out many times not my name
Totally lame
Tormented
I was saw as weak
Being easy to defeat
I deserved to be picked on
People’s wishes
I tried to remain strong
I even tried to get along
The bullies weren’t going to have it
I had to fight to survive
It was all in my stride
Reasoning definitely didn’t work
It took all of my Faith to win
Suddenly the bullying came to an end
Overcame
Fulfilled
Destined
I proved unstoppable
Unbreakable
Victory

I see doubt in your thoughts
You are still searching being your sought
Turn positive into purpose
Become assured and make it obvious
Objective into accomplishment
Effort movement
But the most important is establishing negativity into NO
However, puzzled faces are illustrating in SO
Negativity has no place in thought at all
You are holding onto unassurance being a stall
Establish I can approach
This is not a mockery nor joke
Movement starts with being determined
Destined in what you want your horizon vision to be deep in your heart
Imagine being successful and you have reached your plateau
A step is never done until completely walked
There is a beginning and a finish
This is what makes one distinguished
It’s courage to step out
You have arrived and that is something to talk about
But his is in the positive tense
However, the theory of using common sense
Be enthused, but not confused
Feel like an empire, but don’t become expired
Remind inspired, but don’t tire
Your key is to open the door with opportunities for you to explore
Knock Knock, Are you there?
This is opportunity calling, it’s time to preserver.

I STAND ON SOLID GROUND
preservationman Jul 2016
I am a black man who stands with pride and responsibility
I am the person who strides on family providing
My responsibility is to lead
Having understanding to proceed
Yet society has labeled me
It’s a message of don’t trust what you see
Society’s purpose that I have no right to speak
I dare not even tweet
However I have reason to live
I am more of a verb than an adjective
Society would rather delete me in subtract than be wise in multiply
But here’s why, it all started from history back
Slavery being part of the track
But Freedom to excel was the civil rights movement being a combat
Yet history seems to be revolving itself
A shade of another color doesn’t fit in the Crayola
The mission seems to state, “**** until Dead”
Some Police present lack of trust
Just shoot being a must
But justification has taken a negative turn
The focus of a minority feeling like a sandy Urn
Emotions being aggression
Respect a question not needing permission
Being a Black Man
I Stand Alone
But the multitudes of Life Matters in efforts in letting it be known
We need life that will be soothe into smooth
There is everything to prove
Change that must come
We must move forward from
Life is worth living until Heaven says it is up.

Who says Civil Rights is an easy battle?
Ask Congressmen John Lewis and C.T. Vivian they jumped immediately into the saddle
Their thoughts would be, “Redemption, Achieve, Believe and Victory”
This is what the two Civil Rights Moguls were challenged
It was call to action
Civil Rights fight until won
They achieved in the 50’s and 60’s
But their mission is continuous in us until done
Yet, the world is continuing in the separation fight among

Don’t let movement after movement expire
It certainly was no easy stepping
March on March on in Congressmen Lewis and Rev Vivian’s hearts
Step out in one accord
They were assured being guided by our Lord
Struggles then continuing now in 2020
But the banner reads, “Black Lives Matter”
However, let’s take that even further, “All Lives Matter”
The struggles then was separation, but today the world is shouting Unification
Bringing all races together as one
This is nonstop
Civil Rights won’t be done until all feet are on solid ground
Lift every voice and be heard
Utter Civil Rights can no longer continue to be a plight
That was Congressmen Lewis and Rev. C.T. Vivian shedding light
They wanted to open up the world’s minds
No matter what the cost, separation wasn’t sublime
It was a fight for justice and voices rang loud
Congressmen Lewis and Rev C.T. Vivian mission was an urgent purpose
Influence obvious

But it didn’t matter, Congressmen Lewis and Rev C.T. Vivian were simply furious
Civil Rights was a responsibility and should be sustained by all
Congressmen Lewis and Rev C.T. Vivian were involved in the Freedom Riders
Today the Civil Rights warriors would say, “Don’t let us catch you with your Civil Rights involvement undone
It’s continuous until complete
It would be Police in opposition
March on in precision
It was extension of determined exercised rights
Congressmen Lewis and Rev Vivian didn’t take that light
They vision in plain sight
There are two Heaven Harlow’s being Heaven’s call
They conquered and saw
Now it is time for us to continue on the road to Civil Rights
Congressmen Lewis and Rev Vivian are our determination
We will be their representation
Lift every voice and join hands
Let us march together in the sunrise until sundown
Embrace in commitment

Muster from struggle’s past to victories to be gained

Lift every voice and chant, “Civil Rights the purpose, and Freedom becoming the enterprise”

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

It is the biblical words spoken being my stride
No reason for me to duck and hide
I can continue to say, “I am Somebody”
A harsh voice wants me to respond without reason
But it is God that instills salvation for all seasons
Again I am somebody who does not take being last as a condition at the end
It is my life to continue too live
My experiences in share in multitudes of give
Many claimed they have walked who think they have been
But God has always been my reason clearly at the end
My question in thought to them was always on when?
I am somebody who has travelled far and observed
Yet today’s struggles my race in what people feel I deserved
My achievements are my talents in what I learned, but others who never tried
Keeping the faith is how I stride
Struggles suggest too let boundaries block
Yet God has his own timing being his own clock
But being somebody tells me not to stop
Encouragement tells me to keep reaching for the top
Freedom of expression and expelling of rights
This keeps me triumphant and not so uptight
Yet I must be merciful and polite
I am somebody where no one can make me change
Release the chains in what society wants to arrange
Let others continue to just complain
Because I am somebody I will remain
Aim to please is only to the Lord
A good faithful servant being the applaud
The one that made me somebody oh thank you Lord.

It was a letter telling a word have you heard?
An alphabet letter is better and a word is not
What is this some sort of plot?
What makes you think an alphabet letter is better?
As a letter of the alphabet, I can form many words used in many sentences
But the word responded as there are other instances
Now as a word, alphabet letters can be reversed to form other words to highlight the sentences
You are making me feel I should jump into some alphabet soup
The word said, I am only making my point being a coup
Now we don’t have to justify who qualifies
We just need to see eye to eye
Why don’t we just collaborate?
Now that is something all readers would appreciate
A journey against what’s in the hidden mind
Alphabet letter and words all combined
As time changes, so does alphabet letters and words
Now to the reader, have you heard?
A letter and a word have teamed up
There is no need to compete
Letters and words are the poetry treat
It’s what’s thought of and can be written.

preservationman May 2017
An Amtrak train travelling to Washington, DC
It was Union Station bound
The Amtrak train was maneuvering in acceleration in sound
Everything was moving in a timely fashion
At least that is what the passengers thought
Then suddenly the Amtrak came to an immediate stop
Mechanical problems came up
Meanwhile the Amtrak train being stuck on the rails
Apparently something on the train had failed
One of the passengers felt the train would be stuck for a while
The passenger took action in style
So the passenger called from his cell a nearby Pizza Restaurant, and had the Pizza delivered directly to the Amtrak train
The passenger thought, “If I am going to be stuck on the rails, it’s going to be feed my hunger being the trail”
But the question does come up
There’s a snack car aboard, and why wasn’t it utilized?
I guess with mechanical problems with no power, all the Amtrak Personnel aboard could do was apologize
The Amtrak train finally arrived in Washington, DC three hours late
I would have taken the bus and avoided the fuss.

MOTIVATIONAL KNOCK
preservationman Oct 2015
Set your determination high
I hear a question from the floor of why?
You are the one to motivate yourself
Don’t depend ever on somebody else
Opportunity is giving you a chance
But don’t anxiety step in and advance
You have dreamed in bettering yourself
But always remember, you are not like everybody else
Your thoughts are your chosen ones
Once you have achieved your tasks, you will then be done
Being motivated is the ultimate word in keeping you charged
March like the Daracell battery rabbit in accomplishing more
Don’t stop, but continue to explore
The key being courage to open the door
Opportunity knocking, but don’t ignore
Be destined with a confirmed sure
The sun has risen
Your captioned shadows are the directions you should take
Every effort is the steps you should make
Opportunity is that you shouldn’t hesitate
Move on with numerous desires and be positive with being inspired.

WHERE THERE

Where there, the sun brings warmth
Where is in a ruler extends measurements of length
Where there are clouds comes inclement weather
Where there is joy follows happiness
When one thinks comes an idea
Where there is a mirror reflection appears the image
Where there is praise followed by a blessing
Where there are many possibilities
Where there is life brings situations
Where there
From where in can
From there in shall

MY WALK WITH THE SHEPHERD
preservationman Oct 2014
The Lord and I talked on earth
Yes it seemed my life was transcending into a new birth
Yet we walked and talked
The Lord had encouragement for me
The things on this earth just let be
I am the Lord who sits high and looks below and I see
My heart was full of praise
It’s my testimony that would amaze
My candid look of Jesus face
This is something that I will never erase
That walk with thee
All this being his servant and being merciful to me
A Heavenly calm voice
The spiritual icon being the choice
The Savior who can make thunder roar
Oceans to behave
Make the earth shake
The wonders in behold
A stretched out hand
God’s power always at his command
Again those influencing words
I can tell you, I have heard
“One walk, one voice with faith to believe and an open heart to receive combined with the armory against the Devil to not be deceived”
My soul at the call of the Lord
Strength to withstand the evil of the sword
Powers from above
The flight like a white Dove
Divinity within salvation to think of.

FRIGHT WRITE
preservationman Oct 2014
A dark and thunderous night
Howling in the distance
Mourns within an instance
It was creatures from everywhere
Yet the eerie night in beware
Traces of blood could be found along the streets
Innocent victims loss into defeat
Suddenly across the street a hand extends from the ground
A deceased unrest was making a rebound
As the deceased walks it is the voice of a troubled sound
The earth was cursed
The rising dead being a new birth
Night of watch and observe
The creatures have taken control of the earth
A moment too late
Tomorrow being a new date
Happy Halloween being the slate.

DESTINY ACROSS
preservationman Oct 2015
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.

Praises go up and the Blessings come down
The Savior’s inspiring voice and the Bible scriptures being Heaven’s sound
Life is an everyday battle, but the answer being the Lord in not having your nerves rattle
The battle being in how assured you believe in the Lord
Heaven’s open door for you too explore
As time gets nearer, there is no time too ignore
The Sun has joined in Heaven’s rays
Changes are being made in every way
There are many words that come to mind that I could say
However, these are my words on this day
“A new day that no one has ever seen, but it is the Holy Spirit that inspires in keeping all Unbeliever’s Soul’s clean. It is your first stop in
Accepting Christ as your personal Savior. It’s the joy, praises and new
Beginnings for one too savor”
There’s your Good News
With the Lord, you have nothing too lose
You have everything to gain, as it is the Lord that soothes.

GOOD TIMES
preservationman Mar 2016
The best of times
The worst of times
Sudden times
Happy times
Questionable times
Time to rejoice
Time to rehearse
Remembrance of a verse
A moment to be sad
The minute in being mad
The time that never stops
Timing being everything
A time in knowing the value of time
Turning time to catch up
Making time to be on time
But through the good times, its knowing where time you stand, and it is time that runs your daily caravan.

A world that believes in itself
Looking beyond wealth compared to everybody else
People that will respect one another
People also that won’t think like the other
A deleted racism mark
A work sincere heart being a start
Hire me, but make no mark on my skin
My tomorrow one day being on when
A world I can feel assured
A world that I will feel to applaud
A life of all creeds coming together
Talking and exchanging ideas with one another
Inspiring thoughts
Encouraging, but not wondering of sought

WHISPERS BEYOND
preservationman Oct 2015
Mire voices echoing in my head
Am I dreaming instead?
Yet I feel I am being talked to
It’s every day living through and through
Yet I don’t seem to have still a clue
Perhaps a method of inspiration coming far away
It seemed so sudden even on this day
The whispers were telling me to appreciate
But as I walked I stopped in my tracks on hesitate
Yet whispers moved my footsteps to position of on
I had no idea as to where in life I belong
Yet it seemed the voices had the true answer
But of course I was in a prance
Whispers had my ears in being well toned
My destiny would be coming sometime soon
Whispers telling don’t worry what people say
You are thinking normal and you are ok
Tell me more I responded to the whispers
But the whispers responded, “I have already heard and captioned every meaningful word”.

The life of Robert Guillaume
A Butler with distinction
A man who turned sophistication into laughter
Dinner is served in the Main Dining Room
But if you didn’t move you would probably be told to eat before you come
Snaps upon snaps being Robert Guillaume

The show aired on ABC-TV
It lasted for Seven Years from 1979-1986
But besides Benson, Robert Guillaume also did several skits of other television shows such as playing a Homeless Man named “HAMBONE” on “GOOD TIMES” Family Comedy TV Series
It aired on CBS
Robert Guillaume was gifted in talent gaining proclaim in acting experience
A man who lived to be 89 Years Old
But it is Heaven establishing a behold
Robert Guillaume is his own story ever told
He is now free
Heaven is his spotlight
A musical song in my mine comes to mine “HEAVEN I YOND”
I knew Heaven is where I belong

Your life in which you never gave up
But Heaven knew it was time for you to be lifted up
This is not an end, but inspiration you left us in letting hope begin.

THE TAIL OF TWO KNIVES

ONE KNIVE FOR CUTTING
THE OTHER FOR STABBING
TWO KNIVES HAVE MUCH IN COMMON
BUT ONE KNIVE GOES BEYOND CUTTING
IN FACT, IT’S DESTINY WITH A MISSION
IT’S ****** IN BLOOD BATH
AS THE DOOR OPENS, A KILLER HAS A KNIVE IN HIS HAND
WANTING TO BE UNNOTICED, BUT THE ATTACK TO TAKE EFFECT
THE VICTIM IS ASLEEP IN BED
BUT I WANT ALL TO NOT BE MISLEAD
THIS WILL BE A QUI K AND ANGUISHED STEAD
SLOWLY THE KILLER GETS EVER SO CLOSE TO THE VICTIM
SUDDENLY STAB AFTER STAB WITH THE KNIVE UNTIL
THE VICTIM BLEEDS AND FINALLY DEATH
THIS WAS AN ATTEMPT TO ROB
THE VICTIM NAMED WAS ROB
A KNIVE THAT LITERALLY TOOK SOMEONE’S LIFE
BUT A MORE CALMER KNIVE THAT HAD A SOOTHING ADVICE AND CUTTING DINNER MEAT
THE KNIVE IN A CONTROLLED HAND
THE AFTERMATH BEING DEATH IN THE CARAVAN
NO HONOR, BUT PITY
IT ALL HAPPENED IN A BIG CITY
A KNIVE THAT HAD NO DIRECTION UNTIL POINTED
THE CUTTING EDGE
THE LOSS OF ONE’S PRIVILEDGE
EVIL IN MIND, BUT WHAT ELSE COULD BE COMBINED?

THE TAIL OF TWO AUTHORS
preservationman Jun 2016
One Author wrote of his own writings past
Another Author wrote his life as a thief
Two lives having extraordinary detail
All you have to is come with me in the trail
But before I begin, I want to inspire that there is no such thing as fail
It’s the determination to succeed and continuing inspiration in proceed
Joe who is the first Author, he wrote all about his life
He would often just sit and write sentences
But there was something in those sentences that had an impact
People would often read Joe’s sentences, and the readers would always say, “Your sentences seemed to attract”
Joe had never thought about being a writer until an Editor of a Magazine had a copy of what he wrote in the past, and suggested that he write a book
But the idea didn’t catch on right away in fact Joe had a puzzled look on his face
However Joe ventured out to see how writing his first book would sell
It became New York Times book list, and there’s your tell

Now Warren being another Author took a different approach
However, this is no joke
Warren was a thief in his past
But as he got older, his stealing didn’t last
Warren decided to write a book about being a thief and encourage young people that there is relief
He sat down and wrote every account of what being a thief was all about
But one reading of Warren’s story was nothing that any reader had to figure out
The whole point in putting stealing on alert
Warren wanted all readers to know that stealing is now a perk
Yet, Warren continued to write, but added being a Motivational Speaker
Two Authors having different lives
But with both outcomes and the word being strive.

INTO THE NIGHT
preservationman Nov 2016
The clear darkness said it right
The twinkle of the stars that shine bright
A bright Full Moon being a destiny in life pursue
The wonders of my heart
My dreams that became a reality
Living is about taking responsibility
One can only see, but it takes analytical sight
Where there is darkness is followed by light
Where there are problems comes solutions from plight
The night that made me think
I am captioning the moment in ink
The night being more than a centerpiece fireplace
It’s time that never can be erased
Oh the joy in knowing
The plateau’s in life where one can reach
Destined in values
Virtues with there own individual hidden treasures
Elements all for good measure
The night I will absorb, but tomorrow life in meaning
A reason to live and conquests too achieve
Night like a temporary curtain, but outward in horizon being certain
I believe in me where others don’t
It’s the same people that won’t
I will persuade for all too see
Night is only my hour, but understanding at dawn will be my power.

A QUESTION OF VIRTUES
preservationman Jul 2016
People labeled me what they thought
The image of me in what the world had me to be
It wasn’t a talk to find out
It was a play of my mind in being a bout
I was called a **** and ******
My voice was a very shy low
I was considered beyond average and my being below
I wasn’t what they thought
But how would I have convinced?
When the world has questions
What answer do you truly give?
I am beyond a verb and don’t consider myself an adjective
I began to challenge myself
This was strictly only for one self
The process didn’t require anybody else
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Why do I feel inadequate like a fall?
But the mirror advised to remain strong and stand tall
The world wants you to feel insufficient and stall
But you must be above all
A story from above, you were created being Heaven’s call
It was your inner heart in what I saw
Because of your given heart, I will encourage you in not to fall
Step out and hold you head up and act tall
Your life is destined for greatness
You are the man being the witness
Your paths are ready for you
Walk straight and continue to pursue.

Shortage on Drivers is what passengers were told

Stranded passengers feel their money and the company just used
Greyhound being an Icon around for years
It seems Greyhound can no longer preserver
A passenger refund doesn’t cover any delay
As for that refund is not ok
Passengers are entitled to quality service
It’s satisfaction that must surface
If you can’t deliver your promise
Then Customer Service must be honest
Passengers want operations to be an On-Time ride
It’s that guaranteed service that passengers want Greyhound to provide
No, passengers must not take in as their stride
Greyhound improvements that you be solid in how you operate

THE HAND THAT LEADS

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.

The written word of someone’s life performed on stage
The dialog you will be amazed
The story of a young boy who was bullied and who wanted to commit suicide
But the inner emotion from within in being reside
My life is in shambles
I grew up to only be beat up
People thought I was gay
At least that was discussions way
Word got out from here to there astray
Discussions remained strong
I tried as I may to get along

My Parents even thought so as well
It wasn’t hard as I could tell
But that is not the whole story
I often get strange stares
Yet it wasn’t really crystal clear
I was called names beyond my own
I am you have heard of and they are known

I feel I am not worthy to live
I want to take my life and never again think twice
How should I commit suicide?
Take pills, hang myself or stab myself with a knife into my heart
My life has no meaning
I have no creed to proceed
People want me dead for what they think I have become
Their focus is next to none
I don’t even have my Parents to look upon

My tomorrow has become today
Perhaps I will be better off dead
Then I will never have to hear instead being misled
My eyes are beginning to close, and darkness being the overcast
That second came quick
I am no more.

SAVING TOMORROW
preservationman Feb 2016
Rise and shine
This is the day to live
Yesterday was a day in preparing living for tomorrow
The living being your hour glass
A time telling you to keep on living

Yet one’s heart can be troubled with despite
Counseling is a form of share
One’s emotion can start at sorrow
But let me illustrate a mural, I am standing high above on rocks overlooking the ocean
As I stand there, I have a notion
Whose lives can I save today?
What some of encouragement can I offer being living every step of the way?

Saving lives means understanding one’s self
You are not like everybody else
Suicide is not a stride
It’s being cowardly and an excuse to hide
There are many options that offer positive approaches to abide
It’s about being confident and assured
Its believing that was established by the Lord
Saving lives is a daily continuous effort
But one is never alone and living means you don’t have to bare it alone

I gave you a picture involving an ocean
Along with that ocean is comfort, but there will be times storms will arise
The horizon is the image for you to see the reason to live
Living is encouraging advice from give
When life seems like a struggle, take your eyes to the skies in finding hope
It’s the Heaven’s that helps us all to cope
Saving lives, but thinking of others
Making choices but follow wisdom
The sun rise being your wakeup call as it is the establishment of living for all
The thought of saving lives is saving tomorrow.
