Companies say, “Equal Opportunity Employer”
But the question becomes equal for what minority group
Diversity covers all races at all ages
But how does equal make the race scale unbalanced
It is more of add with a subtract
Then it becomes observation in fact
A is one minority group, B is another and C being another
If A is predominate in 50 percent, and B is only 2 percent and C is 1 percent
How is equal when it comes to employment
The scale must be balanced all the way around and equal in abilities
It should be simplified and not complex
The equation must be balanced in the algebraic theory of principle having a concept
Let’s look at a sea saw, if one goes up while the other goes down, there is no balance, but when parallel of both equal the center, there you balanced within the possibilities being justified
Why can’t this same principle be in the Work Place
The Work Place seems not to be equal at all of what seems what I call the element factor
Element Factor referring to an employer’s own rules in how they control and determine
It is the standards of what companies want employees to believe
Human Resources having their own rules of the spoken word, hire or reject
Since Affirmative Action is no longer practiced, so why is it on the employment application
If it is voluntary, why bother to even add it
That too is part of why the unbalanced in the Work Place
Would put 10 Dogs and two Cats in a room together
Of course not, one it would be awkward and certainly unbalanced in the situation
I used that as a metaphor
So equal doesn’t equal at all
Addition is simply subtract
Again, back to that fact
Think on that
But I want you to relish what I stated with balance the scale in your mind, and construct the spectrum of equality
You just got a taste in a lesson of true reality.

THE VOYAGE OF CAPTAIN QUID
preservationman May 2018
Word had it that treasure was at the bottom of the Organic Sea
A map that would plan the course
Creed and Selfishness on Captain Quid’s mind
But the Sea God’s disapprove of Captain Quid’s and Crew in getting the treasure
There will be no pleasure for measure
The Sea Waves turned sharp as if they had rage
It had nothing to do with age
Thunder roared and Lightening flashed
But Captain Quid was determined that the Treasure Chest was going to be his cash
It was a matter of timing having a dash
Determination was going to become reality in Captain Quid’s mind
However, the Sea God’s had a force
It would be Captain Quid’s ship in a toss
The Sea God’s wanted Captain Quid’s ship to get lost
The Sea God’s fiery was to make sure that the Treasure Chest stays buried at the bottom of the sea
Electric Eel’s and Whales were carefully guarding the Treasure Chest
It was certainly protection for good measure
Captain Quid’s Crew made several attempts of getting the fortune
But Captain Quid’s crew got the charge of their lives from the Electric Eel’s
Some of the crew were attacked and eaten up
While others abandoned the whole idea altogether
But the bottom line that Captain Quid never got the Treasure Chest to begin with
So how does Captain Quid feel now?
He is puzzled on an empty manifest
Yet Captain Quid and Crew are their own confess
But the Sea God’s said it best
“Creed will never have wealth, and Evil with demise will always have no clean bill of Health”.

VARIATION SKIES
preservationman Jan 2016
As one thinks thoughts change
In an instance comes rearrange
One can only wake up and yond
Having eyes look up is a wonder upon
But with the theory of being among
Skies having their own particular look
It’s the Devil comprising evil ways being a crook
Changeable skies into questionable wonders
It’s not necessarily in that order
What holds for the hour?
Then there’s the added hatred being sour
The clouds seem to hug together
There is a darkened shade like no other
Heaven is way beyond anyone’s eyes
Deep within the universe, there is an element of knowledge and how we become wise
It doesn’t require dollar and cents
It’s something of sequence with a touch of a smelly scent
It’s a matter in having common sense
Questionable tomorrow, but concentrate on today
You are the commodity to illustrate all the way.

One wonders of their destiny in purpose
Thoughts start to surface

Thinking relishes serious
Sitting at the Bayou Bank, one’s life becomes clearer through depth
Will tomorrow be cloudy with no understanding?
One thinks hard, but must look beyond the past and into the current
The Future is uncertain that haven’t arrived
The Bayou seems to know my heart
It becomes a movement of where to start
I am seeing overcoming from life’s wear and tear
Getting through all the beware
Bayou says it is about you
I see my urgency
Let your life direct
You are the effect

Pause and see no conclusions
They are the elements to survive
That is how one stays alive.

THE TUNNEL WITHIN MY EYES
preservationman Mar 2015
Death being eminent in my years spent on earth
It was from birth to the present
I grown old and weak
It’s a new generation in which the earth seek
Yet through my years, I became wise
My future will be tomorrow
A shade has cast on my eyes
I have seen all I need too see
Tears from mourners looking down on me
Don’t cry for me as Heaven has beckoned
I am the soul that was assured in Heaven’s reckoned
Live in the flesh no more
My soul has been given the opportunity too explore
My praise in being absolutely sure
I am aware where I am to go
I have been called and directed in the flow
I can’t be late
I also can’t hesitate
My eyes have become Heaven’s guide
My soul will be eternal as an everlasting stride
Glory to God, I did abide
My past and my thoughts have been put aside.

POEM WITH NO NAME
preservationman May 2015
A time to write
I might be sounding a little polite
But its words that explore
Happiness and joy in writing that just can’t ignore
Words combing drama and emotion
The vision of one’s life past involving an ocean
The moment of one’s inner heart ready to shout
At one’s last look, there was some doubt
Yet a tomorrow was only a reflection of yesterday
The breeze in feeling at ease
Appreciation and being well pleased
Words followed, and that is what helped overcoming sorrow
Sentences that helped to relax
Overcoming that feeling of being perplexed
But as the sun arose
The writing was the realization in what was supposed
Words became the music
Sentences being the applause
The sunshine being the inspiration
But at the end, an accomplished spirit
The rainbow hand being merit
A poem not needing a name
It is all about thought that shall remain.

A SONG FOR MY MOTHER
preservationman Apr 2016
Giving birth to me wasn’t easy at first
My birth was certainly nothing that had to be rehearsed
It was you who wanted to be a mother to be
It was love between a man and woman in wanting to see
The whole concept was made possible through thee
Yet you didn’t raise me in not knowing how
I was raised by my Grandparents of a moment of now
Being a Mother is about nurturing
Lecturing is about learning
From a child into an adult
All these emotions is what I felt
My whole life has been surrounded by dealt
Mother, where is the love?
There are many meanings that I could think of
You pushed me away
Yet I have survived and I am ok
I long for you Mother to be around
At times, I feel trapped within walls and nowhere bound
But as education taught me in being to distinguish sounds
My life has fulfilled a lot of promise
But I must be honest
A Mother is supposed to be there
But my question to you is where?
I once had hatred for you, but that has since stopped
But through the years, you often made a mock
Mother, you are older now
It’s my understanding in showing you how
I was born with a purpose
My whole life has been raised above the surface.

THE EXCEEDING PAST
preservationman Jul 2014
A life of despair and sorrow
Not knowing if I would have a tomorrow
Yet my eyes were caught up in the sparrow
My past reflection in being committed
My remembrance in my dedication
It was my prayers being alone
My outcry in what was shown
My life my stuck on a record of thought
Determination was going to be my sought
It was God’s hand leading me on
It seemed like the understanding was long
However I knew it was church where I belong
The praying hands in giving me strength
Death seemed ever so close
But God’s word being look beyond
I found myself living among
What was a rough road?
It was a heavenly vibe in being a glorious story ever told
I lived to breathe and smell my own testimony
The enemy tried to make me doubt
But deep within my heart and soul, it was mercy that made me shout
My tongue being more than just words
It was my own sentences in finally being heard
There was a song in my voice
Being close to thee became my choice
My fulfillment in God’s request
He help me see better and not settle for less
My eyes were open
My heart was clear
It was God all along that I hold so dear
My past being more than a reflect
It my forgiving soul that I chose to elect
It was my honest heart in what God would expect
Yet God is mighty and the Devil being in reject
The past being put last, but it is God who gives an individual class.

Heaven is for the praying believer
Faith in the heart and confession of sins being the start
Sin is a pillar of death
Redemption of one’s accord is the time left
Remember I am the Lord who died at the cross
My voice is powerful and strong, but with a distinct force
Yet I am a merciful as a lamb
I am your counselor who will lead you to Heaven
It’s an automatic date, however you must seek Christ first
Change from one’s ways being a reverse

All you have to do is just explore

All are welcome and none is turned away

Everyone thought a woman was the victim being the caravan
A Dead man laid on the floor
An investigation will determine for sure
However, when the incident happened, someone yelled out with a shout
All someone saw was a woman standing over a dead body that everyone was talking about
But it was swiftly the killer got away
Now an investigation by the Police that will have to figure out
For the moment an innocent standby holding a gun
The spotlight is totally on one who was among
A court case for sure to conduct
In front of the Judge and Jury to get details worked out
All the clues in evidence
Witnesses one by one in their accord to speak
But one false witness whose story will sound weak
It’s order in the court
All accords in case in sort
After the Jury will discuss behind closed doors
Careful listening of statements in explore
Verdict will take place with final analysis
The outcome could be long
Someone is going to jail where they belong
Who was the killer and for what reason?

THE MULTI-FACED BOOK

Front and back covers being the same
But your mind in thinking won’t remain
Sentence lines seemed to reverse
Eerie words sounding the need for a hearse
Yet the words certainly strike out
You might even hear a scary shout
Chapters were getting shorter
Rearrangement in no specific order
A Multi-faced Book having its own mission
It’s into the minds to confuse and corrupt
Later causing the reader to get boozed and outraged in a erupt
A story attempting to tell
The reader being stuck on oh well
Yet a Multi-Faced Book
It became a thriller making you take a look
One word into many words persuading you in being took
One page at a time
Numerous combinations
Mind is captive away into many imaginations
Illusions that fool one’s precise
But than again, there is no time to think twice.

POET ANATOMY
preservationman Jul 2018
I know I have said many times to follow the flow
Then don’t let go
But I have a new approach
It’s no joke
Everyone in someway is a Poet within
Positive in mind that says you can
However, it is your opportunity of a Poet as of when
It goes far beyond expression words
Think on your emotions like dramatics in needing to be heard
Where there is utterance writing becomes the therapy in tolerance
You can learn through your own writing in how to be patient
Instance in being automatic won’t necessarily apply
Yet being a true Poet, you be committed in giving writing a try
You won’t become a Poet Legend overnight
But there is a possibility in might
However, a Poet who writes is actually the narrator in illustrate
Writing is an art with having appreciation
This happens on any given occasion
Your writing could alive like a Benjamin Franklin Kite with the charge
Amaze yourself
Yet I leave you these words
“A Poet is assured and sets the guidelines being there own accord. It’s imagination in the words, and having a voice in spreading the word while being heard”
“Wonder not, but do strive in the moment being now with establishing how but adding then and when along with knowledge in stating the Poet is in the know and to the reader, enjoy reading being it’s own show”.

No train and bus that you need to catch
All you need is faith that should be match
No need to fly on a commercial plane
God has his own natural spiritual champagne
Thinking of Heaven which can’t compare
It is salvation that I wish to share
The name itself needs no indication
But Faith is your information
But to the world below of the unbeliever, it’s persuasion with the flow
You can take it really slow, but when God calls be ready to go
Salvation to explore
You have a choice you can ignore
Yet praises lifted up extending beyond the shores
A Heaven’s voice echoes out
Rejoicing joy and this is what I am talking about
The Earth multitudes with many problems too bare
A God who understands and does care
Also the same God who sees trouble and informs in beware
God’s journey is far beyond any earthly trip
Yet the scriptures are our encouragement being the tip
God’s spirit is like a fast amusement park ride
But God knows how to cruise his saints in a smooth glide
Lord Station the destination at our arrival
Our journey has just begun

Be ready and steadfast and in the Savior’s hands of belong.

My Grandmother would often tell me the story of “BY and BY”
I often wondered as a youngster to what she was talking about
As an Adult I know what my Grandmother was stating
It was “Understanding” and later “Wisdom”
As a youngster, you don’t think on those things
A kid just wonders that is just Grandma talking her talk
But believing or not, it’s a theory that is proven and set
You can’t put a price tag, but it becomes valuable information for life
Through the struggles with inner strength to bare
The key is wisdom that will help and handle with care
Overcome fear as God is always near
BY and BY being a learning response
The future in being the time that BY and BY will take affect
Also the notion that Grandma was right with BY and BY
She knew life with tears in cry while learning to be wise
It takes effort, and all one has to do is try
BY and BY
Through the storm of life, we will understand after while.

Too no prevail, I still didn’t know that the dream would mean
Yet the dream offered no solution
I was left to draw my own conclusion
The dream showed me an ocean
Then there were signs of methods being notions

I still didn’t know what to think of all that
My mind was taking the dream as a movie stream
It seemed to be a test of understand
It was again fast moving and plenty of illustrating
But later the dream seemed to come clear

This is where each of us comes in

Freedom and Justice should be heading our way
Opposition wants us to continue from the past and into the present in being silent
We are American’s creed
The constitution gives us the right to proceed

Discouragement from individuals should make you stronger
It’s perseverance and endurance that helps you achieve longer
The vision is to see the light
Overcoming boundaries not making you uptight
A theory in sustaining plights
An upbeat flow that will certainly take flight
Let your inner positive thoughts be like a soaring bird
Let your voice illustrate inspiring words
Stand up being the test in having a reason to be heard
Words being a leader, but having a strategy
Involvement presenting plenty of activity

Thinking positive with a plan to be on the move
Concentrate with every bouncing step of a positive soothe
You have everything to prove

Destination on the Greyhound bus to a place called “Trust”
So as the passengers sleep and recline in their seats
The Greyhound bus tires turn and turn to every moving beat
Tire tweet sounds
Onward and onward the Greyhound bus being bound
But there was an uneasiness that no one will expect
Suddenly within that second
The Greyhound bus started to lose control
There was no preparation for the passengers to take hold
The Greyhound bus turned over and over on its side
No passenger aboard had any place to hide
So what caused the bus to crash?
You see, a car had literally stopped in the express lane
The driver of the car was completely lame
Fortunately, there was no loss of life
This wasn’t the Greyhound Driver’s fault
The passengers of the bus only had minor injuries and not serious
But you can imagine, The Greyhound Driver and passengers were totally furious
Yet there seemed to be uneasiness from the start rising to the max
Accountability being nothing more than witnessing having facts.

Be who you are and nobody else
I am that image and it surrounds self
Strive while you have time to be alive
Moments can be short
Yes negative things you must abort
Yet life has its wonders
Sometimes a wake up yond into Yonders
But its what one contributes to make life more meaningful
The ability to create
However, a time not being too late

Understanding comes with Education
Knowledge comes with teachings
Inspiration comes from within
All these above state the possibilities in accomplish
But one must truly establish
One must know how to succeed in getting to proceed
The first thing, one must not listen to negativity unless it’s constructive
Later set goals for yourself and not what goals other people want you to have
The term you will never amount to anything, delete and toss out of your mind
Instead add I will, I can, I shall
Everyone has abilities, but you have been labelled like a food can
Labels are only words and they need not to be heard
You have that creativity, but you must unlock in order to be proven
The honor is with you
This is something you must think on in order to pursue
No one is going to give you anything
However, if you make the necessary efforts, the rewards can become endless
The purpose is to prove to your self
Don’t be a follower like everybody else
You are the voice of reason
Don’t live your life within a forbidden treason
But live your life having a reason
You will excel
But negativity doesn’t want to tell
Inspiration being your own accord
What you will establish will be your applause
Many people in your life don’t want you to succeed
But turn my thoughts into your success creed
Let my words be like a motivation feed
Success waits
Don’t sit back and hesitate
Fate is an uplifting slate

9/11 MEMORIAL NOT
preservationman Sep 2021
It relates to 9/11
You see, I went on an interview Two Weeks before 9/11/2001
The interview was at Marsh & McClennan, Inc. at their Midtown New York City Office
But the Clerical job I would be doing was at the Former original 1 World Trade Center Tower on the 96th Floor
If I worked during that period, I wouldn’t have made it out for sure
I never did get hired
But it was a blessing
The World Trade Towers were attacked
I could have been involved in that
A blessing was bestowed unto me you
Perhaps a learning lesson for me
Faith was the key
My name could have been on the memorial list
But God saw my name would be overlooked survival miss
I firmly believe God’s mission having a plan in his hand
I am at God’s command
Faith
Hope
Praise
It was all through God’s amaze
Amen in the blessing
9/11, I will never forget and always remember
I was given another chance of life

VETERAN’S HORIZON
preservationman Nov 2016
All military salutes we honor
It’s more than Red, White and Blue
It’s the brave and the chosen few
Our hearts we continue to pray
God’s protection being our relay
Let the fight on struggles to end one day
This I pray were sustaining the battlefield stay
The fallen always having a place in my heart
I hear soul spirits chanting in the distance, “Carry on, but remain strong”
Drums that beat, but with the tone in don’t give in to defeat
Missiles that fly, but remain alert with continued courage, but don’t cry
Carry on Soldier you were meant to be
Eyes of the world we all can see
The world continues to give applause
Salute again and again
It’s Veterans Day
There are many words one could say
Yet it is my appreciation in every way
I will salute you until the mission is done
Keep your military stance at every chance
It’s doesn’t matter of rank as you will advance
Music in your honor is playing and I hear a Band and a flute
Battle Hymn Republic
My eyes see victory
It’s God’s glory
Keep marching to the mission drums until the battle is truly won
My prayers continue and will stay in place
Move from the shadows and into the sunlight
What is a plight, but it will continue to be God in might
Yet battles take time until won
Onward Soldiers, you will be always number one.

DEVIL’S SEA
preservationman Jul 2023
Mysteries into mysterious
The thought just makes one curious
History having accounts within its own log
The wonders through the creation of the seas
1871 was a year when cargo ships would sail through unchartered waters of LAST CHANCE ALLEY would often disappear
The crews were never found
Some say the Devil would be aboard their ships
But there is no record of witnesses who can contest to that
All you hear and feel are the sea breezes
Many ships dare not to go through Last Chance Alley fearing that their ship would be loss and never be seen again
Captains and crews heard stories about Last Chance Alley, but feel the name should be changed to PROHIBITED ALLEY
Mysterious doesn’t make it obvious
Once mystery still a mystery
History has stated the Devil being disgusted as a monster aboard all the previous downed ships
One would think the many storms feeling like a monster itself
Imaginations gone wild
Some see Fishy ship tale being folktale
Perhaps it surrounds too much ale
Yet many ships have disappeared without any findings or known abouts
What’s the reason, and why no investigations out?
Unknowns still uncertain
A torn curtain with splits could be a beware
Was it the sea or storms themselves being lies of the Devil Sea?
We can only guess the many assumptions being nothing conclusive
Only suggestive
The Devil’s revenge
Myth or theory?
We will never know
We don’t know what is happening below
Maneuver your mind and continue to wonder
Devil Sea with an evil approach
Madness and controlling
Fulfilling in offsetting

SCI FI POEM
preservationman Apr 2017
Ghost that lived in the house
There was even a family of frightened mouse
The house was originally owned but they had died
It was twenty years ago
The actual death no one really knows
But the Ghost revolve all through the house
Spirits that don’t want any human visits
Witnesses say was a struggle in a fight that was heard in the house
They think it was the husband’s spouse
Yet moans and groans are heard all through the night
It only happens when darkness appears and there is no light
Surrounding homeowners often feel the plight
Witnesses also say the house often moves
It’s the Ghost making their point in ***** with prove
There was a ****** in those twenty years that took place
No one can even erase the trace
It was so long ago there is no accord written from the past
But the question is often asked, “How long did it really last?”
The Night of scare often happens at the precise quartz of midnight
No one and I mean no one can sleep tight
Darkness reigns with no light
It’s all moans and groans in scary sounds
People on the streets are nowhere to be found
It is clear the Ghost control
It is there own story being told
They are their own spirits that rise to terrorize
As I said before, even mouse are frightened
Unspoken words and your screams are never heard
I was murdered and you caused me to roam
I will not let go being left alone
The Ghost story must be told
But you are weak and can’t be bold
It has been years, but you are now old
This night isn’t yours and belongs to the Ghost
Your mind, heart and spirit have their own boost.

You had three months to soothe
The sunshine and warmth and wouldn’t be enthused
But as August comes to an end, it is Summer about to conclude
The fact of being on vacation
School’s out being the indication
Summer fun beyond the job
Sharing the beach with the multitudes being a mob
But Summer is slowly coming to an end
September will soon begin
Where did Summer go?
Apparently we moved entirely too slow
But the months just moved with the flow
I am in the final day of my job summer hours
This truly makes my heart really sour
Summer is gradually moving on
The Seasons are going to be long
It is a sequence where they belong
Once again Summer fun almost gone
Now you need to wake up from your yond.

I LIVE
preservationman Apr 2016
I live because I have been honored
It was a given right
It was illustrated in being God’s sight
I live

The sunrise was my eyes seeing the light
Tribulation was a short plight
Heaven said we have you life
I didn’t have to seek advice
Because I live

As I began to lay down
My eyes just looked around
Life stated, “You are not ready to be Heaven bound”
I must continue to live

Life was my day in a continuous tomorrow
The steadfast with a morrow
The goodness in knowing how to live
Appreciation in sustaining in thinking positive
The encouragement too others in give
I shall live

It’s a new day
Praise all the way
Living is where I stay
I can continue too say, “I live”.

MICROWAVE LOVE
preservationman Aug 2016
Turn up the heat
Let our two hearts come together and compete
Our ***** in a deep treat
The emotions are in control
A feeling like cruising on a boat on the ocean
Our bodies being our island
We are remote and don’t want to be disturbed
We are alone at last
Moments have turned into seconds
Our love to Reagan with
We don’t need any *** toys
We have been created and apply all the joys
We have been caged long enough
Our love is not someone else’s bluff
Love does conquer all
There will be times that Love will cause one to fall
But get up and stand tall
The idea is to confront love
It’s everything you can think of
Our love has us soaring through the skies
However, it’s understanding that has made us wise
We are flying Doves
But remove the D in Dove and we are back to Love
Flying Love being in one
Romance together has taken us far
Yesterday’s love was only a start, but tomorrow, it will be love eternal captivating through the endless tunnel.

This is not about a wound actually being a cut
It’s about overcoming a loss one
It can be a shock whether it is a loss family member or a close friend that one holds dear
But the loss will always be close that you will hold near
It comes with that emptiness or simply put a missing piece of your life puzzle
It’s truly hard to accept
But as one continues to live you will adapt
Sounds simple, wrong?
It’s easy to say, but hard to follow
But the beauty is the encouragement and assurance that comes from Heaven
Even though someone will receive a broken wound, the healing process will begin immediately
Yes, it takes time for all wounds to heal
But think of the heal being the seal
Almost like a Band Aid
But it’s everything that God made
There’s your hope
Then follows is the cope
It’s a tomorrow to live on
Going the extra mile beyond
One little Tear being the moment drop
But your eyes will look to the Heavens for inspiration
The moment can be any occasion
But the Lord has a way of persuasion
Remembrance of someone being a lifetime
The healing process will already be in the works
A begin that doesn’t end
It will be everlasting until when.

A Journalist and Author gone
It’s Gwen Ifill America mourns
Politics being her mount

This was her analysis being the intersection

Ms. Ifill was Politics front and center
Come along and become part in enter

Washington’s questions and answers no one wanted to ignore

Ms. Ifill starting from when
In between Ms. Ifill being an Author in writing a book
Yet Washington often took a look
Ms. Ifill always inspired me
The Capitol has dimmed their lights
Ms. Ifill has given up the fight
Yet I see loss written in flying kites
Tomorrow arriving ahead of schedule
But yesterday more than a memory
The flags all wave until we meet again
Ms. Ifill says, “My time has come”
But don’t feel lonesome
I have been lifted up
The Lord carried me to my new home
It’s a place that all will roam
But I won’t say goodbye, I have given my eternal life a try
But don’t you cry
Until we meet again.

CERTIFIED AND QUALIFIED
preservationman Apr 2019
Certified and Qualified
Talent in demand
Presenting one’s personal standards
At interviews, applicants are put too the test
But I often wonder do Interviewers take candidate’s words for less
Now the Interviewer is looking for “Certified and Qualified”
The Resume speaks in advance of what the candidate has accomplished
That’s obvious
Then it is up to the interviewer after reviewing the Resume in scheduling Face to Face meeting
Candidates do have the training and standards
But it seems Interviewer’s state company standards
But if there is a correlation, you already meet the objective
If you didn’t meet and your Resume says you do, why sudden change on the Interviewer’s part
Yet most of the time, Race is a factor on qualifications
It shouldn’t, but often is
However, a company will say they are an Equal Opportunity Employer
That means Equality for all
If Race comes into play, how is that Equal?
One’s Resume states what the candidate has achieved based on ability being merit
Two words that stand out, “Marketable and Commodity”
But why do interviewing questions be asked to one Ethnic Group but not another
One’s Resume will state Qualified in the Interviewer’s eyes
But personal feelings being spite
The Resume is the first Representation, and one on one meeting being the second
But with all one’s training and experience makes an candidate in the interviewer’s theory of overqualified
What makes a candidate Overqualified and Qualified?
If you were to ask the interviewer, there wouldn’t be a precise answer or perhaps no answer at all
Certified and Qualified
But if the salary doesn’t compensate
Obviously, the interviewer doesn’t want to negotiate with a compensate
The qualifications after that doesn’t lead to appreciate
The candidate still has an accomplished Resume
Certified and Qualified.

Medgar Wiley Evers, a name strong and powerful
The college, a mission of knowledge, Understanding and Education excellence
The beauty of essence
CUNY Medgar Evers College being my discovery
Yes this is the story
Medgar Evers College showed me the way in being the person I was seeking and supposed to be
I became the graduate the world did see
I was a truly believer in Evers Teachings
It was the transformation enhancement of the Medgar Evers College uplift
Coming to Medgar Evers College was the balance of what can be achieved and the offset of Social Justice
I learned knowing where I belong
Being prepared for the challenge in getting along
Yet, Medgar Evers College enriched my educational soul like an upgraded electronic component
Stand on purpose with a mission in mine
Set the standards while drawing the line
The discovery of Medgar Evers College was my own exploration
I was on the launching pad, but aimed with the foundation of learning being success
Being my MEC alumni was my honor and privilege of appreciation
Many said I was not college material
But Medgar Evers College changed that into “I was Capable”
Destiny was in my corner because of Medgar Evers College efforts
So Medgar Evers College fulfilled me in being one of their many products for success and beyond
Words can be expressed, but understanding must be an answer. Medgar Evers College showed my own elevation into education as an open door. I entered and was enriched with instilling self-esteem in every way. Medgar Evers College objective was my take away of always remember and don’t forget.”

A moment of 70 Degrees
It’s still winter, but the East is in for a freeze
Out in the Midwest and Deep South, storms and tornados are moving about
A touch of mild with a cold spell bout
The Cold Front is pushing the warm air out
Severe storms covering numerous states
Tornados people know and can relate
Be prepared before it’s too late
Heavy rain accompanies in pour
Damage and destruction that seem to soar
The Midwest and South have had their share
Yet in different states it didn’t compare
The storms are heading east
The cold front will be fast
It shouldn’t last
Winter returns once more
No one will have the opportunity to ignore
Heavy coats must be put back on
But you need to wake up from your yond
Mild and cold in a tug of war
North and south not really sure
Midwest to east a possible explore
Storms that will pass through
The hour of direct weather change due.

Freedom from years try
Through the fight there was an outcry
Being determined and not being scare to go on
It didn’t matter for how long
Together in the fight we were strong
One distinguished voice that echoed out
It’s Dr. Martin Luther King shout I am talking about
Throughout there was who says with a cannot
It seemed other powers had a plot
It was like a choking knot
But through it all we the people continued to march on
It was endure the hot sun, rain, cloudiness and anything else in between
The struggles simply added more steam
The Devils were quite mean
Eyes were looking at the skies
Freedom was going to be a big surprise
Tell me more young people would often ask
It was time that passed fast
The months within the struggles seemed to last
But Freedom was a mission determined to achieve
Our victory became our honor and dignity in pride received
However, history seems to be revolving once again
It’s not a how nor when situation
This is the time to be ready to speak out for the occasion
Expressions to mount and the exercise of rights ignited.

Her two Fathers who were mighty
What’s in the Thor name don’t take lightly
It was the strength of the God of Thunder
But there is a new Wonder
He had a daughter, Thor Athena, God of Creation
Just like her Father, she stands for Justice for civilization
She swings her hammer proving supreme
When it comes to Justice, Thor Athena shows Evil mean
Her own brother is jealous being Thor Athena is the Queens, and all civilization bows down to her
Well her brother Loki will never accept
Loki has his own concept
Rule over good and make bad
That sounds so sad
But on Asgard, it becomes a moment of uncertainty
Even though Loki with full of greed
Thor Athena will always be able to proceed
She has her Grandfather and Father guiding her deed.

A story about a Wolf
He was the living proof
Teeth that would often bite
Caution in not taking light
Yet his breathing wasn’t a single puff
The Wolf would often fuss
You see, the Wolf lived all along in the forest
But he would never try to be honest
Every step the Wolf made was a consequence
It wasn’t time well spent
The Wolf often disturbed people
He didn’t have any friends
It all started from the very begin
His Mother and Father who left him in the woods
It has been since being his stood
A Wolf in trying to be wild
All this his whole life while
You remember the story of the Wolf who was trying to blow down the house
His puff wouldn’t even stop a mouse
The Three Pigs being his dig
He had no success
The Wolf won’t even confess
Maybe the Wolf should get a Lie Detection Test
Now that would be best
The Wolf was never sure of himself
But then again, he is no better than anybody else
Yet it is the Wolf that is alone
A story that someone should have known
A Wolf’s life couldn’t be full blown.

What do they have in common?
Simply speaking, encouragement with a talk with the Lord in overcoming a Health battle
Heaven holds the key
It’s the amazement for all to see
Health issues Doctors really don’t understand
A call to jesus is in demand
A dial up being prayer
Now let’s continue on from here
Senator John McCain has been diagnosed with Brain Cancer
Father in Heaven look on Senator John McCain
He needs a healing, but if it is your will
Doctors can on rely on a medicine pill
But Jesus you are truly the one that can fulfill
Please heal Senator McCain from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet
Encourage his family to look up
Lord, you are in control and for the family to not get fed up
I am a witness to what you can do
I had health issues at birth
Yet Doctors finalized that I would be leaving this Earth
Death and nothing but Death on the Doctor’s lips
But the Lord had other plans and living being an extended life
The Doctors said I will only live to the age of 7
Witness God’s miracle for all and Senator McCain, I am 60 years old and still living under Heaven’s breathing oxygen
Senator McCain never lose sight
This is only a temporary spite
Healing power coming from above
Blessings that come down below
Senator McCain, please take it slow
Of course be careful and patient as you go
Lord, give Senator McCain my praying hand
Let it reach him like a caravan
This I pray
Connection my relay

The hourglass having its own precise time
Cries of anguish with a press of sorrow
What will happen to my tomorrow?
I tried to figure out
But I was totally breathless and let out a shout
Tears flowed like an uncontrollable river
Seconds became minutes
Hours into days
Even the sun had a haze
Being quick is not fast anymore
A shore is simply something one must explore
Yet that moment within an instance
A breathing chance
Not knowing from one’s compelling advance
It was while on still
I have given up the will
I can no longer capture the moment
Time has passed by
It was only a try, but now I can only just cry
The hourglass has stopped
Watches and wall clocks being idled
The sun has turned black
There is no time to look back
My life being none
I say goodbye to the moment, and redeem my soul to the Heavens
My moment now being everlasting and forever in peace.

LIVE YOUR DESTINY DREAM
preservationman Sep 2016
See your dream
Yet know what you’re dreaming for
Achieving takes movement
Courage takes assurance
Encouragement is a fuel for influence
Take action for what you want to strive for
Get to the bottom of it being the core
However be confident for sure
It’s you the individual to explore
Nothing more than having a strong effort to pursue
It’s doesn’t matter if it involves moving heavy weights
But take your mind over matter and see how it relates
A dream is a destiny preparing you for the journey

Heavy weights was only an example
The method was helping you see being ample
Self-alliance at every cost
But you set the standard in what will be the course
Act like a Band Leader and carry the orchestra on
But to reach that, you must put perfection to the test
However, only you will be the one that will confess
Take control of any career you always wanted to do
But think carefully through

See you in the career of choice, and feel the career being at your grasp
Ability, commodity coming together in excellence
The sunshine shows your path
Destiny having a reason
Opportunity being the purpose
Awake now from your dream
The time is now in your reality
Let your footsteps going forward be like a cool stream
Yes it is going to be tough
But let your courage be solid like a rock in rough
Achieving won’t be easy
Excuses will often come
But say no that you will never be out done
Dreams only lead the way
But it is those excuses that will have you going astray
However that is not ok
You are victorious and have been chosen
The knock at the door says open, and your determination calls for you to fulfill
You have been given the thought and the will
But you are holding on to still
Only you can see your true thoughts
You are your own mover and shaker
Your tomorrow has risen with entities being numerous opportunities
Expect nothing less, but be at your best
Dignity and honor have been rewarded
Your true heart has applied.
