When people ask a favor when they are in need
They continue on and your are expected to proceed
Later the favor becomes do a good deed
But the outcome the person is freed
However, no thank you nor what did you think comes up
One does get tired being used
But the other people has no understanding and is confused
It will become a time when one must refuse
There will be a time to charge
Like it or not
When someone does something, it comes from the heart
It’s the goodness of that person
A stranger to one’s eye
It’s wisdom that makes one wise
It’s having understanding in advance
The person was caught by the other person by chance
If you run into this
Don’t let yourself be the loser in dis
Talent is a God given right
Respectful is being polite
Have a different approach go round
Watch as you won’t hear an appreciating sound.

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.

THANK YOU LORD
preservationman Jul 2014
Each day you carry me every step of the way
It’s the Holy Spirit from the many sermons and encouragement in what they say
At times, it seems I fall and seem to go astray
But through your many mercies, your patience is don’t worry as its ok
Yet you take my hand and lead me on
However, I am in church where I belong
Your inner spirit continues to keep me strong
I once was at near death
It seemed my timing had nothing left
My hope of survival became a big question
But through my devoted praying Grandmother, you had the answer as a solution
“You will walk with me for the whole world to see, and your testimony will tell of your miracle bestowed unto you. Your words of accomplishment will be your blessing as an reward”.
I just want to say, “Thank you Lord”
I praise you in all the highest
You have made me whole
Your spirit has captured my soul
Your wonders illustrate behold
Once again, “Thank you Lord”
You have me in Heaven’s eyes
As I continue to walk in your light, I will achieve an even better understanding and the theory in being wise.

THE SPIRITUAL MINUTE

Praises upon praises
Amazes until eternity
My voice being many voices and tongues
A time to give thanks
Blessings many
Rejoice and be glad
I am a witness when I felt alone
Didn’t know about holiness, but a hand extended out and said I am among
From that time on, the Lord has always been number one
His Death and he has risen
Victory for me in knowing I can conquer all things
I feel assured and honored
The Devil can’t have my joy nor praise
The Hallelujah is my amaze
I am guided by Faith
The Devil is the closed book
I don’t even want to look
Flee from me Demon
You are your own sour lemon
I am not your to have
Goodness and mercy surrounds me
The clouds parallel in the sky for all to see
My eyes on thy
Tomorrow’s cry
It’s living being a daily try
Forgive me for my response to the world
My thoughts are not your thoughts
I have been redeemed, and I am glad
I know that makes the Devil just mad
But to know the Lord makes me glad.

This is a Special Television News Bulletin, a Tornado is heading for your town
The Tornado is parallel bound
Winds blowing in the distance being the sound
Evacuate your homes immediately, and head for your underground storm shelters
There is not a minute to spare
This Tornado is not like any other that compare
It’s a double Tornado in size with both being smashing mates
Move swiftly before it is too late
The Tornado has hit Quakerville
Yet it’s moving fast still
Electrical power is totally knocked out
There are reports of Death and injuries here and about
Good luck to you all in your efforts to survive
It’s a matter in finding a place to hide.

NO TIME FOR EXCUSES
preservationman Aug 2016
Destiny and honor all making the mark
I stand as a man with no conviction
My movement needs no permission
I stand as an American in knowing my rights
I stand as a man being direct
I am that man being effective
Let no one to tone my voice down
I want Justice to be all around
My voice ranks high and no volume below
I walk, but my mission will not be slow
I will not bow to any man who sees a lower esteem
Being a man my character speaks, and I rise to the occasion
I can’t stand along, but follow me and let it be known
I am no longer unknown
I am the man to the plate
Success is being complete as my slate

My reasons are unknown
But my outburst has shown
My inner voice yells Civil Rights
The emotion will be a good fight
I have been told I must be silent
My demeanor says speak out
It’s about rights
This is no time to sit back and be polite
A light has set my paths of my footsteps
I see a long walkway, which reads “Leadership”
As I walk further another sign says, “Courage”
Then continued walking and discovering “Determination”
But the purpose in me speaking out, and knowing not to take the wrong direction
I can’t detour with a roadblock
My inspiration will not stop
Let my voice ring even if it means to the mountain top
Yes this is my platform as it relates
My journey is whatever date
If you believe in your heart, you know it is not too late
But today, stand with me and let us all appreciate
A man who stands is a man who doesn’t crumble at the end.

Planning and with strategy in destruction taking a minute
The Terrorist using commercial plans
The two Former World Trade Centers that longer remain
Devastation in truth
Evidence being the proof
At least I still have my house with a roof
So many lives loss on that day
But there is much more I want to say
I went on a interview a week before 9/11 at Marsh & McLennan, Inc.
I would have worked on the 96th Floor in Former World Trade Center One
But I wasn’t the hired applicant among

Each and every given day I pray and look upon
Imagine, my name could have been added to the memorial among
My name could have been read year after as ANTHONY CHARLES BLAKE
However, I am appreciative that I yet can preserver
Life is what matters most
No I am not trying to boast
Heaven just wasn’t ready for me
The world witnessed the death of others and they could see
Once again that could have been me
I witnessed the other commercial plan strike Tower Two
It was more lives again

But deep down I must hold my head up and stick my chest out
Move forward and live now that’s what I am talking about
Can’t let Terrorist to ever make me afraid
This is not how I was created, but what inspiration Heaven made
This is a time to live
Remember, reflect and give
America has triumphed since then
Time told us to move forward and strive on but always be strong
Embrace still while others feel they don’t belong
Destruction hasn’t broken the chain
It is solid and strong and will continue to remain
Trust but be alert
Observe but always be prepared
Stay on track but only reflect
Life is about living but no gamble
9/11 instilled my courage
Fight only when the time is right
We are all New Yorkers, and our hands clasped being tight
Truly we did move on
Striving new Towers being from tomorrow with a continuous every day
What else can I say?
Weak before but strong now
Let us show the terrorist that fear is no longer within, but strength in numbers in knowing we can defeat, and can’t be beat.

A SLAVE’S FORGOTTEN POEM
preservationman Mar 2017
My sunrise is morning to be whipped
It’s the hot sun in cotton picking on the plantation
The Master forces you to give him information
My thought of Freedom being a proclamation
I can’t even express my own explanation
I pray oh Lord
I am your faithful following in accord
Oh those beaten days
The long seemingly days
The Master continues to beckons
I pray to the Lord that he changes his ways
Being a slave certainly can’t stay
Beaten paths
Escape to where and how?
One day just one day
Freedom will reign
I may not be alive to see
But my Soul will know in everything Freedom should be
A Slave’s eyes see distance beyond any mortal’s demise, but wisdom and understanding keeps our focus in remaining wise.

It was a visit to the National Museum of Afro American History and Culture
The date was November 12, 2016
The memory of the past that will last
As the time moved into present time that came fast
There were strides that Afro Americans made
Yet we are far from being in the shade
Funny names but one particular one being Adelaide
Music that had a start
Slavery in how it played its part
Civil Rights now that was a marching fight
It was a Stop and Go with Justice not seeing the light
Unrest and Unjust with the feeling being uptight
Yet multitudes mobilized with might
Dance being a creative move
Relaxation and smooth coming together with soothe
There was everything to prove
Years rolled on in “Break those chains”
Racial boundaries could no longer remain
Educate the mind and read a book for understanding
In God we trust
Having Faith had to be a must
The hour of darkness with the plan to escape
It meant be careful but not acting like an Ape
A President Obama film clip, “This is President Obama as I’m Out”
Strides over the years
This is how we all survived in moving forward being preserver
Accomplishments of the past being our floor plan for inspiration
However encouragement and not to tire
Past history in what everyone needed to know
It was more than a presentation of show
Pick yourself up and go
However that was the flow
Yet the National Museum wanted to state, “Now you know”.

CLOSED DOOR LOVE

I mentioned love in our discussion
It became a subject to avoid
I told you the inner feeling I had
It was your frustration in being mad
But the whole communication made me sad
Love is supposed to be a romantic word
Relationships together in wanting to be heard
I am truly in Love
I want the feeling of interlude being everything to think of
I thought when I told you I was in love, you would be glad
However, there was mad and being sad
Love will be a subject I will never discuss with you
In fact, I am just through
I ways thought, it was time to move on
My eyes have been opened, and I see a new dawn.

ROLL AWAY BED

I had to be at the mercy of that Roll Away Bed
Well it was a story of turn from side to side
I wasn’t certain as to where I would preside
It seemed that the Roll Away Bed wanted to dance
However, I wanted to sleep at every chance
But it became a rolling night
Yet for me, it became a plight
But when morning came, I was happy full of delight
That Rolling Away Bed took me on a journey beyond my request
My thought at the time was this is not better or less
However I must confess
So Roll Away Bed in what did I learn?
Be careful at every inch in how I turn
Make sure wheels are locked
Roll Away Bed might be on the go so don’t block
This was my own truth and consequence
That rolling movement I will never forget
The actual bed I will not complain nor regret
Don’t ask me to take a bet
Well my mind is all set
So let me roll out
This is not the moment I need to shout.

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.

I long for this moment
My tears overflow
I am focusing on despite and agonizing struggles
My dreams nothing more than nightmares
I see no reason to preserver
Choices have been ruled out
It’s like I am having boxing bout
Decisions are only final conclusions
Life puts people to the test for them to figure out
But all I want is a chance
A given right to prove myself
I don’t need a Judge and Jury
It certainly doesn’t come down to being a theory
No chapter in a book sustains my mystery
Chance
That is the key word
Now you have heard
Don’t look down on me
I need no microscope for all to see
I don’t need pity
I have a personality that makes me witty
An opportunity becomes a chance
Yet unbelievers want to prance
This is at every chance
Chances to be taken away
Yet it won’t happen on this day
Chance in my eyes is analyzing in creating the surprise, but thinking in knowing how to stay wise.

Trapped like a mouse
But this is not about a house
Cornered in a alley with no way out
Darkened as the night where no one will hear any shout
I ran but have no pace
Escaping being like a race
Followed by Thugs
They all had rough looking mugs
I was weak and meek
The Thugs were strong being at their peak
I didn’t have much money on me
The thugs surrounded me, but their faces I couldn’t see
They pulled out a Gun and Knife
I knew this could be the end of my life
Surely, there was no way out
I had to be clever and think
Otherwise, I will be like a sunken ship and sink
I tried to reason with the Thugs
I was outnumbered and didn’t win
I just knew I came to my end
A knife was put towards my stomach
Just when the **** was ready to stab, Police cars came with their bright lights
I no longer had the feeling of being uptight
I am alive and that is something to praise in excite
Now I can sleep and Good Night.

Every broken heart there is a tomorrow
Every tear comes with sorrow
Yet a band aid can’t heal the broken heart
Healing begins with the morning sunrise
Then follows the blessings beyond anyone’s surprise
Assurance in knowing who holds the praying hands
Tears may flow
But don’t ever let go
Let me share a story with you
My heart was broken when I loss a good friend
I asked myself would my broken spirit mend
I prayed later and the Lord affirmed me I can
It is just a matter of when
The sun is up
That’s the hope in never get fed up
A broken heart is only temporary
Tears will be flowing, but is it the joy in knowing
My broken heart having no quick fix
However it is Faith that will stick
Tomorrow with advice on morrow
Tears only last while
Heaven being the rainbow of the everlasting idle
A broken heart will mend, but continued ongoing Faith is the key of when.

Darkness that was in plain sight
But a night that one shouldn’t take light
Darken as the moon
A crime will be soon
Suddenly a loud gunshot
Obviously it was a plot
****** in senseless blood of a victim like a tight knot
Inspector Holmes and Watson appeared on the scene
They were searching for clues and evidence that wasn’t clean
The bullet that was aimed directly for the murdered victim’s chest
However, on the victim’s shirt was an emblem in the shape of a crest
The murdered victim was a member of the sophisticated intellectual honor society from Oxford University
Yet still no alibi as to why and what reason for this ******
However, Holmes and Watson were looking carefully for anything that would be a lead and crack the case
Somewhere the murderer will meet face to face
Immediately, a clue was discovered
An Oxford University Ring was missing off the murdered victim’s hand but was worth millions
There were also fingerprints scattered all over from the murderer
It all goes back to Edgar Beasley who was an average student and the murdered victim was Justin Hanover
Apparently there was rivalry between Beasley and Hanover
Hanover had plenty of honors and the ladies
Beasley was an average student that ladies wouldn’t even give the look over
Mr. Beasley was just plain self-centered and mean
He will now go to jail
Once again, Holmes and Watson cracked the case without fail
Mystery n o longer having a trail
London’s night being clear in justice
A feeling in don’t live in fear

Looking ahead to Dawn

Understanding that is smooth
In the eye of struggles
One can overcome
The spirit of hope
Simplicity on target

Elevation of tune
Storming the feet

Defiance having a cause

Tell struggles goodbye
Continue living is what one should try

But you closed your ears and made mockery blame
You felt salvation would be a shame
Having salvation is a Heavenly prize
This is something the world must realize
The wonders can open your eyes

It’s your true soul that matters

A new beginning with a renewed tomorrow
You are simply drowning in your own sorrow
The hills make you strong
God’s solid foundation is where you belong

Having God’s mercy oh what a relief
God shall call again
The Heavenly voice for your salvation to begin
But because of your doubting questions you have no idea of when
God’s voice speaking directly at your heart
Praying sincerely is a place to start
This is an open invitation to make your mark
Heaven awaits and remember your fate
Don’t be loss in darkness before it is too late
The Heavenly room is coming soon
We all will be meeting our superior groom.

Romance that extends long
Into each others arms where you both belong
Two candles with love still in desire
The commitment being the inner ongoing fire
You didn’t just let love just stop by
It was total satisfaction being every try
Lips upon lips
Kiss upon kiss
Happy Valentine’s Day
Kisses too all that comes your way.

POETRY EXPLOSION
preservationman May 2017
The moment has arrived
Words unite like no other
Poets want to acquaint that Poets are alive
Writing is our strive
Think of us as Theatrical Poets being our words
Our dramatics that need to be heard
Poet’s words into the reader’s hearts
Sentences that actually show it
Inspired, but yet positive
The objective of the verb and adjective
The purpose being a writing heart
We are the source being our inner force
As a Poet, we stay the course
Our influence is our continued assurance
It’s our integrity we stand behind
We have our own surprise
We help the reader to remain wise
The words close in
It’s the reader thinking emotions that begin
We are Poet’s, we can’t stop
Our words are our merchandise to shop
Our intention is to help you bare
Yet we are knowledgeable beyond compare
As a Poet myself, this I wanted to share.

No need for cash
With the credit card I can dash
The Holiday to fill
Determination being the will
Plastic putting someone in debt
Some would rather bet
But later discover regret
Store prices that will soar
The credit card providers who get the score
Interest rates surely will be high
The arrival of the statement passed to I
Payments need to be made before the due date
There will be a fee if the payment is late
Yet the holidays will be a mission in being accomplished
Finances organized being established
The credit card is my expenses discovery
After the holidays, it will become a recovery
Yet I discovered one thing, I have overworked my credit card
Realityville will be my fill
But there is a miracle still
I will buy gifts for people that were true friends to me throughout the year
As Santa would often say, “Have no fear”
Credit Cards are the remedy when cash isn’t available
Credit Cards are the life Saver through the year.

I CRIED TO THE SKY
preservationman May 2015
Depression had set in
My struggles seemed like it was the end
My desperation tears poured like a fountain
It seemed I was in the valley and not on the mountain
As I prayed, my words became a Heaven relay
I was sincere from my heart
Suddenly a voice powerful as thunder spoke, “I am the living son and you are my servant being among”
Life will have boundaries once and awhile
But you must be able to adapt being the daily style
Troubles come and go
But hold on, and continue to follow salvation being the praising flow
I am the spirit that transcends in
It’s a new beginning that has truly began
The wonder of your praise
The Heavenly one that will continue to amaze
Your cries will become less flowing
Now rise up from your knees, and get going
Your soul in the right hands and place
The Devil will try to erase
But I am at your defense and the Devil will be pass tense
Your spirit is among and this is something that will always be upon.

Your writings were like a Christmas tree shining bright
You brought out from the darkness and into the light
Snowfalls and your poetry being narrated like a holiday call

My honest heart of Love in continuing to preserver
Everlasting inspiration year after year
Happy Holidays and inspiring write

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

I LIVE TOO

I walk to arrive
I learned what it is to strive
I eat to energize
This helps in keeping my in thinking wise
My words being creative sentences
The moment capturing my instances
The light bringing out the shine
The struggles combined leading to victory
My birth from past a reflection of history
The story in the beginning like a mystery
My steps of a rythmatical beat
The motto, “Don’t give into defeat”
Let the smile on your face become on own retreat
I live to explore, and being confident and thinking sure.

DESPAIR
preservationman Oct 2015
My heart beats strong, but is too loud?
My tears pour, but I need to be tough
As a rock I must be rough
Yet my thoughts don’t have an aim
Totally my fault in being the blame
My emotions captivating an up roar
This is something my inner self cannot ignore
I fall to my knees in search of prayer
Oh Lord you the king beyond compare
Comfort me being Heaven’s share
Help me to cope and bare
My life feeling like a closed shall
Yet my heart has a confess to tell
I once was a robbing thief
The thought doesn’t give me relief
I turned from being wicked and harsh
But I am moving like a fog beaten marsh
I longed for a rightful gift
But it seems I was been labelled a thrift
Destiny needing precise direction
Guidance coming from a higher mountain being perfection
I need my cries to dry up
I need fulfillment to fill my cup
Agony not wanting any pity
At least not from this city
My heart rings out and faith being the shout
Being despaired had made me wise
It’s understanding being no surprise
It’s about overcoming and meeting despaired face to face
My eyes to God who will erase
My trail of where I have been, and continuing footsteps until the end
Walk with me LORD and help me get through the winding bend.

OFFLINE
preservationman Oct 2017
Las Vegas being a gambling place
Vacation being full of fun being the trace
The climate having the warmth for perfect getaways
All hotels having excellent room stays
But there is another relay
It is about a shooter on went on a rampage
He was so full of rage
Ammunition having ready aim fire
But the killings don’t seem to tire
I don’t see an even expire
Numerous lives loss in cold blood
The shooter having an evil mind for human killings like an overflowing flood
Families tormented with loss loved ones shattered like broken glass
This is a like a movie where shooters wear a mask
The incident happened all so fast
Prayers should be going out to the families
The shooter being controlled by the Devil
Evil of the criminal mind
The split second having no time to respond
It feels like a dream waking up from a yond
Yet the nation must look on in as actual reality to look upon
Life having no remorse
It is a fact
Of course of course

As the song began to play
It was wow what can I say
Growing up in WHAT YOU KNOW, KANSAS
The farm belt of the nation
I remember my father using the tractor on the farm
He was always attending to the harvest
It was his folklore in not to fail
Growing up on the farm, we were always taught to be sure
As night approached, the skies were no joke
A twister began to blow
We had to leave the house and go
Under the house we went
The twister was heaven sent
My mother would often chant
Have courage and don’t be a little ant
Life has promise, but you only get one chance
Take life for what it is worth then you will advance.

EERIE IN THE HOUSE
preservationman Jun 2017
Sleeping peacefully
But how long will that last?
Time moves with the moon and changing skies
Thinking intellect, but being wise
A noise churns outdoors
But suddenly there was a noise on the living room floors
I dashed carefully downstairs
I moved ever so clever through the darkness giving stares
I had a club in my hand
Ready to attack at my command
A soulful voice appeared in a ghostly manner
The Ghost said to me, he once lived in the house
It was he and his spouse
The Ghost was Warren Stellar who was quite a tall fella
Ghost Warren Stellar told me to get out
All I could do was yell and shout
I ran as far from the house as I could
I had no thought on my mind if I should
I knew I couldn’t stand where I stood
I did in fact go back
But communicating with Ghost Warren will take some tack
I was able to reason with the Ghost, and my house I could surely continue to boost.

A DRAMATIC ACT
preservationman Apr 2016
My act in yet to perform
My cries are far from the norm
I am at the center of my conviction
A knife I hold in my hand of my demand
I want to aim straight for my heart
I am not worthy to live
I can no longer give
My pain of a bottomless soul
The years of my past have grown old
Pity me not
The knife is my only shot
Death was put in the center of my own spotlight
My consequence has always been my plight
Life has no meaning to me
Even my eyes don’t want too see
I leave now
My consequence I know how
My presentation being the show
Death has finally called and my light has turned dim and I must go
Goodbye I say unto you, and tomorrow I have no debt due.

FOLLOW ME TOO THE KINGDOM
preservationman Oct 2017
Follow me too the kingdom
Are you ready to go?
You can’t be slow
Just go with the Heavenly flow
But if you want to get to the kingdom there are provisions
Seeking salvation in knowing you need to be born again
Praying Continuously
Follow God’s word and reading scriptures
Witnessing for Christ to others in Christ’s honor
But before you follow me
You must remember, Heaven is a place you can’t get to by Car, Train, Air, Walk nor bus
It’s pure salvation that surrounds us
But there must not be any fuss
You must have Faith
Believe and no doubt
Confessing one is a Sinner
Only then accepting salvation one has permission in Heaven’s enter
But you must keep the Faith while you are on Earth
You must value salvation for all it’s worth
Take full in God’s word
Witness to God’s people in letting his goodness and mercy being heard
Heaven bound having preparation
Your testimony being participation
Spreading the gospel in illustration
Now that you know, are you ready to follow me too the Kingdom
No need to pack bags
But Heaven and salvation is a made up mind but don’t drag
Your mind should be all made up
Yet you should pray Lord always fill up my spiritual cup
But seek Heaven with your true heart and just be caught up.

The possibilities within dreams
The emotions moving like streams
A capture to someone’s heart
The offer of hope
Struggle bearing, but with encouragement to cope
Through believing, there’s survival
Eyes of the sunshine, there will be light
The beauty of vision having outgoing sight
The thought, “Throughout any illness struggle, have a smile during while, as intervention being God’s style”
The inspiration captivating
A comfort being sustaining
Breath being the new tomorrow
Having morrow, but don't stay in sorrow
Spread the good news of the new day

Hope in any situation

One wish being a skies kiss
Heavens look down being no miss
Wish high and well

A MIRACLE OF THE POET
preservationman Aug 2017
Mystery of words the Poet had
The thought coming from a young lad
The lad who always wanted to write
Yet he didn’t try because he thought being a Poet might be a plight
Unknowingly to the young lad
He wrote a poem, but didn’t know what to expect
In fact, the young lad thought his poem was going to be a reject
So the Poet took the poem to school
When the poem was read, his classmates and Teacher all drooled
There was magic in those words
Every sentence was a signal to be heard
A voice is truly a voice, but it is only when inspiration comes out
Writing shouldn’t be a chore, but your mind concentrating with observing within explore
Those few lines were like hypnosis and put everyone into a writing trance
This was opportunity being a chance
Classmates, Friends and many others caused people to start writing poetry
The power of the mind
The fundamental being the concept
Ideas coming together ready to adapt
So you haven’t written yet
Make time for a poetry write
Influence people being inspiration being poetry excite
Just imagine you in the center spotlight
Poetry going beyond having pure encouragement being Explore and just watch your ideas as they just soar.

The Lord’s advice is like sugar and spice
Walk around Heaven Mr. Landau
You made it in

LET’S TALK CIVIL RIGHTS
preservationman May 2018
1950’S – 1960’S are years I and many others will never forget
It all adds up to regret upon regret
It was a time of discrimination and separation
Of course, there was a lot of speculation
It was a battle for “FREEDOM”
Afro-American’s faced much turmoil because they had wisdom
Skin color was a curse during the Civil Rights Movement
But that still holds true today to some degree
Struggle’s in where Afro-American’s can go
But continue to follow me in the flow
Afro-American’s had to take a back seat on the bus
Opposition upon opposition in what was all the fuss
Dr. Martin Luther King knew he must take his stance
This had to be our chance if all races are to advance
No longer could Afro-American’s be a race that shouldn’t be knew
The opposition felt Afro-American’s was making Civil Rights too full blown

But somebody had to let it be known
Various Leaders and Afro-American’s in particular let their voices be known like a Church Bell on Sunday Morning
Each day, there was a sunrise being the continuat8ion of Racial Equality
But the ordeal was a Wake Up call full of reality
As high as the sun could shine, possibilities was going to be a change
Discrimination could no longer remain

Through Dr. Martin Luther King’s efforts, change started to come
Life seemed to get better
But remember I said “SEEMED”
Let’s fast forward to 2017 to present
There is still a Civil Rights Resentment among the Opposition Peers
But Afro-American’s are staying focused and that’s how they preserver
Yet, Civil Rights seemed to have been reversed
Its let being on stage and forgetting the lines from rehearse
In this instance, it was what learned from the past, but a short moment that didn’t last

Time revolting back
Now what do you think of that?
Discrimination has returned like a sharp sword
Wounds seemed to heal, but the wounds are open again
Recovery unknown

Opposition at Afro-American’s once more
Through the commotion, no one can ignore
We have a President of the United States that has turned up the volume in separating all Races
It doesn’t matter of creed
It’s the powers in how they want you to proceed
It’s the opposition mirror having I don’t like your skin color look
Now this wasn’t a picture took
For Years, Afro-American’s had to live in being frightened in shook
But will there ever be a true Civil Rights change?
Only time will tell
But for now, all I can say is oh well.
preservationman Aug 2020
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.

An hour that was only a minute
Your voice of what you will only admit
A sunshine that suddenly went down
Darkness being your cast
Your life that was certainly vast
Time’s movement accelerating fast
All you could was look around
You found yourself being alone
No time too run nor hide
Your own redemption you didn’t abide
You tremble from which you stand
This world is under God’s command
You are nothing more than mire flesh on this land
You thought not but wouldn’t on will
Your mind was trapped on still
But not your wait has reached until
Heaven knows you not
Your voice has always been agonizing plot
Yet you can still be redeemed
All you have to do is confess and come clean
Heaven wants to recognize
God the almighty is more than a Saint
Your Soul is everlasting but don’t faint
Your past still a waits, but your gone is ready to move on
The Earth revolves with your new sunshine
The Lord has provided you with a new advise
Walk with me now
I am your Teacher and I will show you how

The Devil wants your life to end
But with Jesus Christ, you will have a rewarding begin
The Devil’s aim is for you to be in his court to remain
He also wants you to point your finger at Heaven
The Devil is just mad because with blessings from Christ, he can’t get your soul
Jesus is about observe and behold

He also picks you up when you fall
When you pray, he is the one to call
All you have to do is dial “Pray Until”
Honest prayer and God will
Be steadfast, but yet remain still
These are God’s encouraging words
Opened ears and I hope you heard
Now go now and spread the word.
