POLITICS ALLEY
preservationman Jun 2016
Momentum on a new high
This election surrounds you and I
Words beyond inspiring words
A mouth clearly stating I want to be heard
I will not mention any names
I will become a target being the blame
One politician has the right idea
Taking the opinions words away from hassle fear
This is the United States, as we must preserver

Every given moment of a rich opinion doom seems to get ever so close
Yet supporters want to boost
The separation of defend being most
This is happening coast to coast
From sea to shining free
This goes for all citizens including me
Justice for all regardless of color and creed
The Civil Rights Movement is what enabled America to proceed
It was injustice being an outcry need
Yet a certain voice wants to separate what an individual feels
But is this Presidential running mate for real?
Yes fellow Americans, the running mate wants to put a rock in your roadblock
But the encouragement to all, rock the vote
This is a serious election and shouldn’t be a mockery or joke

America must strive
Its not a matter of some have, and others have not
The White House can’t be a scene of a plot
We as voters must tie this knot
Thoughts are many, but outright uncanny
Stop the hate, but let’s come together in relate
It’s America and the world in how we communicate
This election surely must illustrate
Please vote in November before its too late
Our vote will determine our fate
Make November your date
The true President must be our Ambassador
However, we don’t need a matador
We had enough of all this bull
America’s cup is too full
Vote while you can, and question why you can’t
In any event, make it your chance
Voting is the only way we all can advance.

On any given Sunday,  you will find bible teachings to the homeless and people who have no place to go all happening within the Port Authority Bus Terminal
But there is more
Sunday Preaching’s to the misfortunate
God’s word in giving them inspiration to understand
Spreading at the same time God’s gospel throughout the land
A teacher and several listeners
One could call the teacher a parishioner
Today everyone needs the gospel in order to preserver
But the gospel doesn’t stop at the bus terminal
The fact it extends into the AMC Movie Theater with church service at 11:00 am
No movies are shown where the church service is
It’s nothing but the word of God
The bible doesn’t state teachings have to be in a secrete place
The bible can even be taught in your own home
But understanding has to start somewhere
It’s the here or there
Today, it’s vital that everyone understand what god is trying to say
Sinful nature is not ok
The word of God is about accepting from one’s heart
It’s a start, but shouldn’t end
It’s an enrichment that should begin
So you thought the movie theater was about entertaining
Part of that will still remain
However, the spoken word taking aim
So the misfortunate will not be able to blame
They will have the opportunity to open their eyes and sustain understanding
All it takes is one to come to Christ
Praying and encouraging is the best advice
So Bus Terminal and AMC, you have the right idea in gospel fellowship
But it’s the gospel and nothing but the gospel being the tip.

HEART OF A POET
preservationman Jul 2015
Poet’s words capturing the reader’s heart
A story dialog that makes its mark
The heart of another that the Poet to whom he wishes express
Heart to heart being a true confess
Poets are who we are
Our ideas of words and thoughts have travelled far
But it is the Poet who always says it best
We are more than a phrase on a baseball cap
To get our attention just do a shoulder tap
The Poet in telling their story that will amaze
A moment of have you heard
Happiness in one verse
Desperation being controlled in reverse
The Poet’s angle alone
Encouragement that the Poet wants to be known
To the reader, it is actually being shown
A Poets enduring piece
A charmer who wants notions to be released
So heart of the inner soul
Words that come from a faceless hole
It’s line by line being the scroll
It is the entirety being the whole
The writing Queens and Kings being the majesty of the “Heart of the Poet”
Refreshing enjoyment and sentences being food for the soul
Poetry that never gets old.

PAUSE IN WRITING
preservationman Aug 2014
My writing ideas began to stop
My pages became darkness with no light
The blank page a plight
Yet I wondered why all through the night
My inner soul wasn’t thinking
My desired for writing was surely sinking
Will I ever write again?
Will my inspiration give me a new blend
But for now my writing is a pause at the end
Suddenly the skies became my answer
The horizon was the clouds in my writing being told
Slowly my heart had the urge to write in being sold
A very merciful voice said, “Your writing never really stopped as it was only a consequence off cue that intervened”
I was writing because I want to achieve
I certainly don’t want other writers too think I want to deceive
I write because of the gratification
I write, as it’s me in my masterpiece being my identification
My soul says continue to write
The other side of me says don’t write and let it be a plight
My pen guides my hand and says write and your mind will illustrate how much your words excite
A sudden writing call
This is my inspiration for all.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE
preservationman Nov 2016
A house in the center of town
There were old quaint stores all around
There lived a Little Male Mouse
Oh yes, he had a wife being his spouse
There was a feeling of Christmas in the air
The winter winds that blew
The stars that shined bright on that clear night
But this story was more than a night to remember
However, the Old Male Mouse only wanted to slumber
You see, the Old Male Mouse loss his belief in Christmas
By somewhere, Christmas is going to be returned to his heart
The fact that the mouse was Old, there will be no giving up on Christmas past nor present
He just needed what Christmas represented
As the story continued being narrated of the Birth of the Baby Jesus
A lonely star giving direction of the Wise Men
The Baby Jesus giving hope to the world
Now that alone should make anyone’s heart swirl
But it is Christmas Morning when Children wake up and surround the Christmas tree of all the gifts that Santa dropped off
However, I hear the Polar Express in the distance heading back to the North Pole
Holidays Stories after another, but none are like the other
A Male Child who wanted to see Santa before dying of Cancer actually got his wish
A Little Girl whose Parents were killed in a car crash, but wrote Santa in a secrete request
Santa read the Little Girl’s letter, and it was granted
She wanted loving parents like her original one’s
It came to past
Stories of joy, hope and the possibilities
They all became realities
Well the Old Male Mouse started shedding tears, and shouted “Christmas I Believe”
The Old Male Mouse’s heart simply melted
No matter how cold you feel
Your own reality could become for real
Oh those winter winds
Santa is still on the job even when
The Old Male Mouse and his spouse had surprise of their own being a little mouse
This is truly a reason to celebrate
Happy Holidays to the world
Believe and always believe
Hope is what you will receive
Wishes do come true
However, I will let you think that through
Well Santa had already dashed away
But that is ok
Year after year, Santa will continue coming your way.

ENDLESS MILES
preservationman Jan 2017
I think back on achievements I made in my walking miles
Dreams of imaginations during while
Struggles that were sustained
Yet having the inspiration that remained
Determination at every turn
Lessons through learning being experience
But through it all, it took endurance
Many Heritage achievers were my influence
Inspiration that could only come from a true achiever
There were decisions to make
Traditions to break
Stand strong and it doesn’t matter how long
Like my many ancestors before me, be determined and don’t tire
You have dignity and honor being the desire
Faith in believing in doing in value worth receiving
Abilities all surrounded by efforts
Hate from others being morality that you process
Negativity only makes you stronger
Didn’t fall to weak is a form of defeat
Pushed on no matter what the obstacle
It was a matter to either go over the struggle or around it
The whole time was survival and encouragement you can make it
Life is about fulfilling a commitment one aims for
It’s the confidence that makes it sure
Understanding one’s purpose and coming together with the outspoken voice
However, it is assurance in knowing that everlasting is marvelous, and the creed of shall and can being obvious.
preservationman Dec 2014
The total body experience all inside
A moment on thought but not on hide
Think agenda’s, but move on stride
Christmas meaning more than presents
The birth of Jesus an everlasting presence
But the best gift of all is the breath of life
Nothing can compare and not even a touch of spice
You can keep thinking, but that would be questioning twice
It’s all being sincere within the heart
More than tears and far from fears
It’s that special closeness that you hold near
The word is love in the preserver
Help one another
Be like no other
Seek to continue to explore
Don’t ignore nor subtract being no more
Life is an open door
What you think is closed but is subject to sure
What seems in what it might not seem
It is your assurance in you seeing in the actual seen
Christmas is a time to spread joy
Perhaps giving a less fortunate child a toy
Bring joy to someone who needs joy restored
You are the fulfilled in giving
This is the key in living
A motto to live by, “If I can help someone”
Watch as you and the person see eye to eye
Tomorrow was yesterday, but the future will always be a new day.

JOURNEY TO WRITE A BOOK
preservationman Jul 2015
I am going to try my hand in writing a book
I have shared my writing poetry and you all have taken a look
But writing a book requires being precise and concentration
I often think do I really have what it takes to write
At times I feel people are just being polite
When writing a book, I am not sure if I will excite
In fact, it might become a plight
Words will have to be just right
Sentences and phrases that should be tight
I want my book to have the rainbow and enduring light
This is how I feel perhaps I am making a big deal
Yet this is my thinking seal
I need encouragement but keep it real
I want to know how you feel.

I am glad you are
I am not
I tried wearing those colonial shoes
My feet have the nerve to just refuse
In fact, the term was “Pain, Agony and Defeat”
I tell you not a happy feat or better known as Feet
The only shoes I would wear being a Town Crier is Flip Flops
Colonial shoes back than
However, who am I too say and wasn’t born until after when
Comfortable shoes are my favorite word
Now have you heard?
Apparently not as I think
I court you in that wink
Painful Agony feet wouldn’t be my best suit
No being a Town Crier for me as there wouldn’t be any pursuit
Now the Colonial Town people wouldn’t want to see a Town Crier Cry
I ask you to look me in the eye
The explanation would be hard to explain
This Town Crier would only complain
Everything else would just remain
Uncomfortable Colonial Shoes would definitely come to their end
Relief that would start from when
Imagine passing information to the Colonial Citizens
I would probably wine up in prison
Nothing in reason than shoes that hurt
Arguing Feet
A total give into being defeat
Those Colonial Shoes I just couldn’t keep
In my eyes it just a clean sweep
It would be a Town Crier try
As for the reason, all I can say is why?
I don’t know how Benjamin Franklin and other Colonial Pioneers wore those shoes
I would have to refuse
Those Colonial Pioneers must have had feet like stone
But I will leave that alone
But History is History
As for Arguing Colonial Shoes that is a total mystery
My opinion in a final thought, I should have known.

I seem to have a mark in being a Greyhound Bus Company Employee
But let me explain in understanding so you can see
It was three years ago
Now this is a dialog so I will narrate slow
I was waiting for a specific departure being a Greyhound Bus at the New York City Port Authority Bus Terminal
My destination was Philadelphia, PA
It was an Express Bus
I was on my way to the Philadelphia Flower Show
As I was standing waiting for the bus to pull up to the Gate and Load
Too my surprise, a Travelling Customer was passing by and stated directly to me, I look like I work for Greyhound
Now even though I am a Greyhound fan, I made sure I wasn’t wearing any bus memorabilia on
The only thing I was wearing was my Bus Patches on my Denim Jacket, but my Coat was hiding it
So I wonder was Greyhound written on my forehead
What did that travelling Customer feel I was knowledgeable about Greyhound
Whatever the event, the secret was out
Perhaps being destined to work for Greyhound is what I am talking about
Imagine, From the Greyhound slogan being my version, “Greyhound and me, travel with adventure and take it from me”.

INSIDE A POET’S LAIRD
preservationman Oct 2016
Poet’s words continuously pop out
It’s a pull of surprise I am talking about
Words that seem to creep and make you peek
It’s those sentences for the entire week
Inspire is written on the walls
Yet keep moving but don’t stall
As you open the door, a word of don’t ignore
You are in the Poet’s exploratory hands
Silent is the heart
A trail of words on the floor
Those same words encourage you in reading for sure
Accelerate, Illustrate and Participate
These are the values in how a Poet relates
It keeps the Poet’s thoughts alive and strong
The communications of words in where they belong
But let’s continue our tour
We have been here for about an hour
A Poet stands live in front and center
The Poet of motivation
Eye in point and phrases being the indication
The Poet wants to persuade with you being the subject of response
“I read, but I know I must understand opportunity in being once in a lifetime, but achievement is far more doing than a dream beyond, but tomorrow with a future to look forward to”
Now as we exit, I hope you enjoyed the journey down a Poet’s laird
Now continue being a Poet you always was meant to be
Continue to inspire readers eyes so that they can our inner heart for all to see
It’s a wonder yonder
A short walk from the mind
It’s a happening all combined
A true Poet is his or her own virtue full of inspiration being more than expressions, but establishing commitment
So long from the Poet’s laird, and just write with all the influence of care.

THE HITCHHIKING TURKEY

Going your way
At least for today
Harry the Turkey was trying a getaway being escape
But he was on an island known for the first name as Cape
So Harry ventured out
The thought of Thanksgiving is what Harry was talking about
Every year a possibility of the ax
But it was a known fact
So 2017, Harry decided to hitchhike
But will it turn into a plight?
So Harry is thumbing for a ride on Highway 18
Harry wanted to make sure he was seen and not hide
So a truck happened to stop, but wait?
It was an animal meat slaughtering truck
What luck?
Would Harry become the star attraction on Thanksgiving Day?
Well as luck had it, Harry would be sparred and not be slaughtered
So the getaway was on
The ride to the mainland was long
It was that hound bus being the get a long
A new refreshing breathing life
No one has to give Harry advice
An oven Harry will stay out
Let’s celebrate and shout
On the Dinner table on Thanksgiving, Harry will be out
But too some unhappy family, I see a pout

North and South at war
The breakup of Slavery being the score
Movement having a maneuver
The plan being a strategy
Ammunition creating destruction
It was a cause having effect
The act of slavery needing an end
A time for Freedom to begin
The names of Andrew Jackson Abraham Lincoln
The thought of Freedom in blockage from one’s means
Yet Slavery being a cause to reject
A constitution of Freedom
Years of divine wisdom
Ashes being the years far too long being a slave
The separation became the hour of change
The North was going to rearrange
A Civil War having a battle
Darkness of war no more
Road to Freedom became a life of explore
A slave being no slave thereafter for one to ignore
The ashes are only what it took to change slavery
But it was all handled so bravely.

The key to this poem is “Elevation”
Planning your destination for success
You proved that you can learn
Now excel and go out and earn
You knew education would be a role in being a plus
Yet it is the absolute must
Theories have approaches
Analytical yet logical
The purpose is to position yourself
Stability with a solid direction
Making sure your options are your alternatives
Negativity force stay away
Positive aspects being the way
Now your parents and guardians tried to encourage where possible
The lesson from the start was preparation for survival in life
Now that has come in being my advice
But here is something I want to share
“You go the learning angle, but go out and use what you learned”
Sounds simple enough
Yet put practice into action
Try to grasp the concepts
Adaptability in following suit
Intellect in seeing the reasoning
But feel proud of yourself in what you have accomplished
It becomes apparent in what you have established
Remember a craft is a talent falling under ability
Don’t give into defeat, but break through the barriers
So turn your graduation caps graduates
You earned it well
Through the applause its an overwhelming tell
Now go out with all your ambitions, and present yourself like a Salesmen and sell
Courageous you are, it’s your own elevation that will take you far.

UP IN HEAVEN
preservationman Feb 2015
I see a troubled world
Many don’t have Christ within their lives
Many are leading understanding within their own strives
Tomorrow’s arrival and future being everlasting still
Heaven who sees below and observes stubborn wills
Heaven’s movement being the show
God’s spirit establishing the flow
A world where a few pray
Some are living without salvation and are slowly decaying
It means you haven’t declared God as your salvation, and you will die with the Devil on your side
Where exactly will your soul preside?
Follow the trail from Heaven to Earth
This was a commitment starting from birth
The unbeliever being a loss soul time bomb
There could be an explosion at any given time
But salvation predestinates the bomb from going off and all the praises of resources combined
Even though I am high up in Heaven
I pray for a world that accept salvation still
I am giving you the opportunity at your own will
I want too see you all up here where I reign
All thou flesh will remain
The soul will be caught up in a Heavenly bout
Praises, Joy and Hallelujah is what I am talking about
Heaven being far from earth
A new nation forming a new birth
It’s riches of what Heaven is worth
It is also how stable you have made your salvation too become
My indication to people that salvation is not just for some
It is an open door to all too just come.

HUMAN RESPONSE TEST
preservationman Jun 2016
Just what is the Human Response test?
It’s a test to determine true friendship being a confess
But mine you it’s not a competition to determine whose friendship is best
It’s a matter to find out are they true friends or foes
This test will eliminate all the woes
Make up a story about yourself being a like a confession
Just see how the responses come about
But just don’t try to figure out
Your job is just observe
Then cut off false friends and give them what they deserve
If the friends are true friends, you will certainly find out
Now true friends will inspire you, and even examine yourself being the true friends given in the test
However, if you get negativity along with insults
Then you know it’s time to clean house
You don’t need any negative Human Mouse
Friendship is about caring and sharing
False friendship is about eliminating and ignoring
But it’s just so sad we can’t live in harmony
Let’s look at hatred
How many times have you heard, I don’t like you, and you think you are all that?
Perhaps I am all that and a full bag of chips
But notice, the haters have given you all the failing human tips
However, don’t you fall into their trip being a careless trap slip
Try the Human Response test, and let the true results confess
Responsibility is true living in being life’s best
Observation is the best natural test
Examine and experiment for yourself and don’t be surprised in what you find out.

I live life alone
My Parents are unknown
I am not famous
I have no fortunes
I am often abused on these mean streets
I have no place to run to retreat
I am poor
The streets are all that I know
I steal to eat for food
People think I am worth nothing
I never had a husband and never knew love of a boyfriend
Thinking back with having a life I could never take back
My teats are starting to fall
Yet all people can say is poor Abigail
I don’t dwell on self-pity
Yes I am surrounded being in a big city
Perhaps I have loss my way
The fact being I have no place to stay
The alley street is my home
It has no address but that is where I roam
I am a woman in my own right
It’s survival and I am living the plight
There is often darkness and no light
Faith is all that I have

I will let individual track records in what will remain
Being the President is a very important job
It involves numerous resolutions to solve
This is a time where all people need to come together
Actually relate to one another
Separation is a thing of the past
It shouldn’t be a disguise hiding behind a mask
It’s decisions with precision
Debates in now one relates
It shouldn’t be emotions being a fate
Chief Ambassador in bringing countries to agreeable terms
Having understanding and a strategy to present
After all, The President is the U.S. represent
The White House is only a temporary resident
Yet during those four years, it’s about standing up to Congress to pursue
Always having new ideas to always look through
Remember, we must chose the true candidate to be
Then later vote with wait and see
A true change in what the U.S. people want
Not a voice being only a mire chant
Yet having a stature with personality to match
A theory being a well documented catch
However, always observing being a watch
Politics in the air
This was something I had to share
Keep your eye on the voting booth and let caution be your beware.

One last thunder roar
Then suddenly the storm was no more
The clouds parted and went their separate ways
Yes I explored this in a lifetime on this day
I wondered because the storm was ever so strong
The days seemed shorter, but wasn’t getting long

One’s life departure in a second
One’s journey spirit in flight
What’s on one’s mind of beckin?
Has the storm truly passed?
Was the skies casting its mask?
For now the storm has passed
Can we live through another storm and be surpassed?
We must wait and observe

An Edgar Allan Poe thrill
A house and a Raven on a hill
The house surrounded by a gate
A test of fright that won’t be late
The eerie feeling of a darkness fitting the slate
From deep within a spirits soul
Its wonders of fate in behold
The mysterious from inner after
A case of another chapter
A Raven flies in flesh to ****
But the question of wait still
It’s the moment of wait until
Echoing voices from within the house
The pacing of a frightened mouse
Lightening flashes through the sky
It is daylight and no one knows why
Yet the house has a mission
It’s the humans being under submission
Spirits are looking for soul’s to live in
A new life to live in
Yet on universal go
Blood thirsting being the flow
A house and a Raven maneuvering slow
You as a reader will never ever know.

If this house could talk and what would it say?
We don’t get many visits on any given day
Suddenly the house spoke, “If you enter you will be stalked”
Sounds like a run for your life too me
But let’s enter and just let be
As the house haunts
It’s bone and flesh in what it wants
However, I feel the house could be playing taunting
Ghostly creatures immediately pop out
My feet want to move swiftly and about
Get ready to run but on your mark
Breathe while you can
It’s a full moon tonight, and there will be a plight
Darkness with no light
1550 Center High Street, but with no good-bye yet
Yes 1550 Center High Street
The same house with a mystery treat
Yet you dare not take a peek
A house with several traps
The eerie feeling that will have you taking a crap
Many have tried to see what the house was all about
However all you could ever hear was nothing but screams and shouts
Lightening and thunder seem to surround the house
The house even scares the life of a small mouse
The house sits on a high hill
It seems too have its own will
However, mystery as it sounds, the house fits the bill
But just be very still
Happy Halloween Until.

A Poet loss in their own words
A point of no return
Ideas mounting like flames in an unbreakable urn
Sentences that prepared the words for take off
Journey through the Poet’s inspiration
The speed being acceleration
The Poet establishing a tomorrow
The pinnacle having a morrow
Being the steady pace of arrival today
There are moments when the Poet could go astray
Yet at that point, it is ok
The reason being the thinking in progress
A mind getaway would be considered like recess
A Poet’s thoughts are always on the move
Having everything to prove
A Poet being who the person is
Emotions the Poet wants to express
To the reader, it could be a sign of a confess
But always remember, the Poet holds the everlasting test
The Poet is the only key to their mind
No Pass or Fail
A straight line being direct to the Poet’s trail.

HOUNDMAN COMETH
preservationman Mar 2018
More than a dog
More than a Hound Driver’s written log
It surrounds a Hound bus
Greyhound gave me that nickname and I took it as a plus
It’s my passion for the Greyhound bus
My enthusiasm that might be to some people what is the fuss
Houndman Cometh yes I have been named
But inspiration that shall remain
Houndman Cometh not a name for hounding around
It’s my personal preservation that can be found
My own destination being solid as the road
My direction being beyond flashing lights
I am Houndman Cometh and don’t need to be polite
No bones about it in approach
It’s not a speech that I spoke
My love for animals and the hound
The shout of “Houndman Cometh” being the sound
I have arrived with the appropriate name
The buddy system has taken aim
What makes Houndman Cometh unique?
The name just sounds neat.

QUARTER TURN
preservationman Jul 2014
It was time people forgot
It was at a party where people got their drinking shot
The night was young
It was time to have fun
The moon was bright on the streets
The moment caught people in a tweet
Suddenly the earth did a reverse
What was truly happening too the earth
The world was changing
You could say the environment was rearranging
There was panic circling all around
Yet the streets were where people could be found
There was cracking and echoing sounds
Immediately the sun seemed to turn black
The sky was evidenced in what was lacked
The theory of scientist of who weren’t really sure
But this was something they needed to explore
There were waves rising higher than the shores
This phenomenon could no longer be ignored
Time was revolving
But no one has any reason in solving
Suddenly without warning, a miracle did a reverse
The earth didn’t become its own hearse
The quarter turn wasn’t the first
What will happen in the future, could it be for the worse?

SHATTERED IN THE MOMENT
preservationman Jun 2017
What I thought was my life being a dream
I was trying to find reality in what did it mean?
Windows around my house would often crack and smash themselves
I would often see fragment pieces on the floor
But somewhere in my life was a pattern in not being sure
A thought of uncertainty
However, I am back to finding reality
Yet the self being with shattered hope
But it is a mechanism that one must cope
Shattered with the message in pieces bringing my life back together
It doesn’t have to be a dark cloud hanging over
I was meant to live a life
I am my own advice
However my tears are starting to fall
But I need to end this shattered once and for all
Life is what one puts in
Make life continual and not a begin
Shattered becoming a reason to survive
The message is clear with be thankful that I am yet alive.

Some dreams can take affect
While others might to reject
In any event, dreams can become the actual
Yet be nothing unusual
A little boy would often dream of Driving a Real Greyhound Bus
You see, the little bus had lots of toy Greyhound buses, and dream of going from the toy Hound bus to the real one as his dream states
Well that’s an appreciate
The little boy thought of all of the Greyhound bus
Travelling from cities to town being pluses
But there is something about a dream that might have a message
It’s Desire, Commitment and Responsibility
But what does this have to do with a little boy’s dream?
The dream shows an open road into a career of possibility
Now don’t laugh
It could very well become a reality
How did this dream actually start?
The little boy would often travel on Greyhound a lot visiting his Grandmother in Chicago at Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays
However, the little boy was fond of animals, and the Hound dog perhaps captured the little boy’s heart
So the dream whisked the little boy into a reflection of destiny
The highway alone in the dream being encouragement
The Greyhound Bus itself showing the little boy the way
His little fingers on the steering wheel
The whole dream feeling like a movie reel
Wheels in motion
In the distance crossing a bridge across the ocean
All the wonders of the Greyhound bus
Grasping the little boy’s attention with no fuss
It all surrounds the Greyhound bus
Ok Thomas, it’s time to awake
You don’t want to get to school late
The little boy now is all grown up
He drives a real Greyhound Bus and travels the U.S. Continent
The dream did the preparation
The dream was simply a little boy’s hidden mind in creation.

There was no image sharing with another
I looked beyond the person
My wildest dreams I haven’t seem
However I know I must be truthful and come clean
As a Poet I must stand up for who I am

February is destinated as Black History Month
This is the time to think back on Afro-American strides
Innovations in they provide
It goes beyond the struggles of slavery
But what follows is pure bravery
Afro-Americans forefathers having the theory of understanding and devoted wit
Education was a solid it
Sunrise to sundown
Afro-Americans would often read a book when the Slave Master wasn’t around
There was reading being the sound
Sometimes Afro-Americans were caught
There were racial barriers becoming a fought
But through it all Afro-Americans saw
It was initiative seeing a wrong
There were many biblical songs
Yet it was a battle that lasted long or not
It was the opposition planning a plot
Afro-Americans were determined to be free
Eyes of Heaven Looked down and they were guided by Thee
Multitudes upon Multitudes
Oh the thought of solitude
It all surrounded by fate
Later came a constitution that ended the slave date
Afro-Americans were finally freed being the slate
What do Dr. Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers and Malcolm X have in common?
Plain and simple, Civil Rights and togetherness among all races of people
I wasn’t a simple matter
Yet there was plenty of negative shatter
But eyes were opened beyond the shades
It was not strides that were made
Afro-Americans contributed inventions upon inventions having a mention
George Washington Carver in the peanut for oil
That is just one, but there were numerous inventions from others
Even though the opposition said “NO”
Afro-Americans made their point being all systems go
Determination had an agenda of persuasion
Illustration was a call to order being participation
So young people today should always stride to educate themselves
This is their chance in opportunity and bringing forth unity
The young people are tomorrow’s future of presenting their own selves
Excel and acceleration being there tell
Their enthusiasm having a sell
However, I weep in my heart and soul
We seem to be going back in time
A venture with a sublime
However, my heart seems to bleed
Will Afro-Americans still be able to proceed?
What’s behind the door being an unknown?
Yet our legacy of the past gave us understanding being shown
However, we can’t just relish on the past, but I will leave that alone
Instead, we should move forward and take what we learned from the past and make it our future to extend on
We need to see the ocean beyond the shore
Yet venture out on the waters being our explore
Tomorrow is today
Whatever situation that comes our way, we are prepared, and that is ok
At least we can say, “Achievement will always stand regardless. There must be trust among us. Yesterday was only a reminder. But Afro-Americans have God in their corner”.

I strive to be
Yet hesitate in my own maybe
My assurance has no influence
I lack total endurance
My eyes just look up
But my heart feels all stir up
A problem seems to surround
I am loss in my own bound
I need access to gather my thoughts while they yet can be found
My sentences are my uttering words
Am I dreaming or did I just want to be heard?
My wonder is actually myself
I am human just like everybody else
So I should wonder no more and just explore.

Strength being the multitudes
Eventually things did soothe
But there was a purpose with a mission to prove
History went to some degree just like that

The songs established America’s history in what the lyrics says

When the smoke finally cleared you were yet still standing

But you are America
A sustaining nation
Decree of people countryside to countryside

Proud to be an American and your enriched history
The day America claimed her independence
The very signing of declaration was July 4, 1776
A nation under God
Also a nation guided by God
Fireworks show the beauty in what you have accomplished in all the color variations
It’s the people in all creeds adding to the assortments
You are America from the past, but a future that extends forward
America, America, America
You are the tis of thee
In God we trust who makes America in what it should be.

THE ENTERPRISING BOOK
preservationman Jan 2016
Pages upon pages
A book read for all ages
Chapters among chapters
The words shouting like actor lines
The feeling of emotions coming out all combined
I remember a romance that began to start
It was pure fireworks as two starving hearts that came together
But it was that kiss of two lips like no other
Yet their communication having no word line slips
Who could forget a teenager who tried?
The teenager was studying for a very big math test
He was nervous so he had to confess
It was an SAT exam, which would determine what Ivy League University the teenager would attend
He wasn’t your average teenager as had a totally different blend
The teenager came from a wealthy family, but wasn’t really a bright kid
In fact, this is something his parents always hid
Yet the teenager prepared for the exam, and scored high beyond his expectations, and enrolled into Princeton University
The Secret Within the Storm
It was the farmland of a Kansas family
It was a heavy fierce dangerous thunderstorm
The Kansas family worried that if the lightening bolts were to ever hit the house and farm barn, they would lose everything they owned
That wasn’t the case, it was a storm that helped the family grow even bigger crops and prosper even more
They were thankful and didn’t ignore
The Kansas farm family just continued to pray more, and blessings they continued to explore
There you have it, stories into stories
The skies opening the stories like a curtain with all its glory
All it takes is a book read and seeing how in life you will proceed
A chapter could be written about you
I must conclude for now
It’s a matter in believe in yourself, and don’t depend on anybody else
The Enterprising Book says it best, “Words are simply inspirations with knowledge being the indication. It’s a matter of taking advice in, and being successful in your own begin”.
