MOUNTAIN HIGH
preservationman Aug 2016
The solid mountains ever so high
I thought to myself and wondered why?
The answer being a creation descended directly from Heaven
But I knew I had to climb
I had to see the distance of my life to be
The depth of the mountain having a destiny
My life’s direction would no longer be a mystery
So I started to head up the mountain peak
The Half Way point became of what is the mission that you seek
Another step of an established almost there
Inspiration flashed to continue to preserver
Every step I knew I was getting near
I reached the Mountain Top
Endurance is what helped me not to stop
At that moment, I had a reason to live, purpose, achieve and accomplish
It was the mountains solid foundation being my assurance I would achieve
The focus in sitting high at the peak
My institution surely wasn’t weak
But understanding being the convincing key, and it was the Heavens that truly showed me.

HARMONICA BLUES
preservationman Nov 2021
Sitting and waiting playing my Harmonica at the Rivers edge
The moment is my privilege
The Bayou helping me get over my struggles
Feeling tense
Need the Harmonica to help me relax
I am all perplexed
Bring harmony together is what the Harmonica does best
Thinking on worries less
Looking ahead to Dawn
Being blessed feeling the yawn
Through the Dew of expectancy
The Night Stars are certain
The wonder and bright
The Harmonica sooth
Understanding that is smooth
In the eye of struggles
One can overcome
The spirit of hope
Simplicity on target
The Harmonica Bounce
Elevation of tune
Storming the feet
This is a time to refine and be triumphant
Defiance having a cause
The Harmonica set the record straight
Just take in and let appreciate set in
The Bayou is telling me pursue
Tell struggles goodbye
Continue living is what one should try
Living is about sustaining
The blessings remaining
Harmonica finale, you will never be in the valley long
Reached the zone
You stand alone
But the Harmonica let it be known
A Bayou moment being the minute
No limit

THE ADVENTURES OF HEFTY MAN
preservationman Jan 2017
Hefty Man, a super hero of street garbage
Strong and Sturdy the elements obvious
Hefty Man wants to rid the grime of garbage all over the world
Yet its cities being where to start
It might even take maneuvering with a cart
A clean sweep that needs too be done
Hefty Man is determined that he will not settle until he has won
Justice is managing garbage throughout the land
This is a job for Hefty Man, a super hero needed in demand
Hefty Man flies in the air into the windy breeze

For years, it has been excuses back then
But Hefty Man being justice on how garbage should be arranged

I THOUGHT I MIGHT
preservationman Oct 2017
I knew I could
But wasn’t sure if I should
I thought I might
Understanding confirms the definite
But there was a question, but I had no answer
In the mind I thought I might
Observations in seeing things as they are sometimes distance far sight
But I seem to be taking the statement light
No assurance in I thought I might
My whenever becomes sometimes
A drink could be any kind of wine
A moment to start and completion being my end
The time to convince surrounding my I thought I might
Reasoning illustrating my own clarification
Schooling is the surface being education
My facts having indication
I have been stating I thought I might
Perhaps I am taking it just a little too light
Then again, maybe I am just being too polite
After really thinking, what I have established has become what I have accomplished that was all along in plain sight.
preservationman Dec 2014
Write the word then let your voice be heard
Let the power of knowledge be a learning experience
Recharge with energy and continue in endurance
Then go out and use what you learned being an influence
Positive approaches with precise ideas
Word of the day to think preserver
Come out of the thought in hiding in fear
Step back from the rear and move to the front in being near
You are the words
The power is within you
You and only you are the clue
The mirror reflection shows the true image of whom you really are
It’s your ambition that will take you truly far
Stay focused with your thinking ways
What goes and what stays
It will all happen one day
Remember what you were taught
It’s not a matter of naught
It’s a matter of sought and the organization within your own thought.
preservationman Feb 2017
The blackness of night
A flash of lightening being a dazzling sight
The roar of thunder with echoing moans
This is a night to not be alone
Creatures and souls walk through the night
Shrieks into screams will be a plight
Be careful with the knocks at the door
Souls and creatures are waiting and it’s you they want to explore
Your number is up, but who will score
You are scare, because you are not sure
Your mind questions your very deepest thoughts
Sweat pours like a moving rushing fountain
Yet these creatures and souls are alive
They need flesh and bone in order to survive
Conditions are blood and bone
Like I said before, you shouldn’t be alone
Suddenly creatures and souls descend in their attack at every closed door
You can’t scream and ignore
They are coming for you
But what will you do?
Running is not an option
Yet standing still uncanny
You are your only witness
I pity your soul
A night that will be a behold
Creatures and souls will be bold
Your flesh and blood having no value in sold
Eternity has arrived
Tomorrow having an uncertain strive
Everlasting unknown
A storm that knows
It’s too late
The hour has come, and you are already the bait.

THE PRAYER BAND
preservationman Oct 2014
The idea was to pray all night
A multitude of voices in heavenly sight
Hear our prayers oh Lord
Our praises are on one accord
We come to you as humbly being one of your servants
It’s Heaven’s voice being the utmost
Oh Lord, Pour Your Holy Spirit upon us
Let us exalt the mouth of our salvation
Let the honest heart be the indication
Hear us as we sing a hymnal song
Blessed Assurance
Our faith and trust knowing you are where we belong
Please give us the strength and endurance
Place your praying hands as our deliverance
Words of scriptures being the utterance
Let us understand and transform our spiritual harmony
It’s our praise to the Heavens that will sound like a symphony
We are the testimony of God’s grace
We don’t want to be loss from your hast
We gathered together as a praying band
But your continued goodness and being merciful at your command
Yet praying will be more than one night
It’s your vision that we will keep in sight
Watch over all
preservationman Aug 2014
It will be an Italian meal
Dessert to **** for being ideal
Then it’s on location away from the reel
A moment with the Soporano’s being for real
A pinpoint plot
The entire cast who call the shots
The king pin mob who is hot
The feeling of the atmosphere
The question being, where do we go from here?
Suddenly a shot rings out
We the group make a big shout
Entertainment, this is what I am talking about
A cry out for revenge
Needless to say
The mob that says everything is ok
Evidence thrown to the fishes
An aftermath of no near misses
Plenty of cheers
The Soporano’s  who will preserver
The Soporano’s way
They have the last word and what can you say.

I HAD RISEN ABOVE THE EARTH
preservationman Feb 2017
It seemed like a dream
But I felt I was being transported as if I was on a beam
No spaceship was involved
Destination unknown
I was moving through space
I noticed atmosphere waste
It was passed the Milky Way
Later into the horizon no one however explored
I saw the outside of Heaven oh my Lord
The beauty and superiority
Heaven beyond my expectation
The Joy that came over me
The Praise that only I could only give
But once I seen Heaven
My dream descended me back
I made my preparation to make Heaven my home
Imagine, Heaven being a place to roam
The dream in bringing reality
Oh Heaven with plenty of activity.

Listen to my accord
Prepare yourselves to meet the coming Almighty king

I GOT YOUR BACK
preservationman Feb 2019
Somewhere I have heard that before
I know that for sure
I remember as if it was yesterday
But then again, it happened all today
Let me take you back
My buddy and I were hanging on the Basketball Court
We often played on the Basketball on any given day including the weekends
We were shooting the Hoops and challenging each other
My buddy noticed some thugs walking towards us
He said, “I hope they don’t make a fuss”
My Buddy stated, I got your back
Meanwhile, I was getting punched and smacked
So much for my Buddy having my back
Then my Buddy and I were being pushed and shoved
It went into a complete beat down in fight
However, it turned into more like fright
But my Buddy and I began to take control
We were feeling Bold
Did these Thugs think we were going to let them push us around?
It was going to happen on these grounds
No matter what, we were going to defend ourselves
We weren’t born to be turtles in a shell
Our message in fight is our circumstance too tell
We have a right on this court
Our protection must be our fought
We have game
That shall remain
We have a name
Its Thugs beware
If you want to play Basketball, we can share
So if you Thugs don’t want to do that, we will take you out in a punch
So Buddy, “Do you still have my back?”
He said yes
I got knocked out with one hard punch and smack
Thanks Buddy for not having my back.

THE MILKY WAY EXPERIENCE
preservationman Apr 2017
This is not a galactic space adventure
It’s the mouthwatering creamy chocolate taste venture
The sweet tooth in its pace
The goodness in the mound
The crunchy sliver sound
It’s that chocolate craze
The flavor in the amaze
The Milky Way bar that takes your taste buds far
But it is not something where you need a car
Space is nothing like the Milky Way bar
For me, it’s like my own personal star
The Milky Way bar being the most
Yet it’s popular coast to coast.

A young man who loss his Mom
He mourned his Mother so in thinking he was alone
The young man’s tears felt like a waterfall
But the young man’s passing Mother put the breaks on in stall

But this is all of part of God’s amaze
So when you think you are alone, it will always be God in what is shown
Alone in your mind, God’s resources of everlasting combined
Always remember, God is genuine.

HEAVEN’S OPEN DOOR
preservationman Jun 2016
My Grandmother would often tell me stories about the Lord when I was little
She would also tell me pray before you to too bed
But don’t let other people fool you and you become misled
My Grandmother told me the Lord is Almighty
Heaven is where he lives
It’s his blessings in what he gives
A man who don’t on the cross
The same man who conquered Death at full force
The world is in his hands
It’s divinity throughout the land
The Lord is a wonder with a behold
I am a witness and this is my story told
It’s his skies that often make me wise
His theories are no surprise
Be honest in where you stand
It’s the true heart being the caravan
Embrace one another
Encourage like no other
Lightening is stating show no fear
Thunder being the Lord’s voice that he is always near
Faith is what everyone should have
Praise the on high Savior
Worthy with an honor
Prayer that keeps me inspired
It’s the hour after hour
As daily I feel his power
Truth within my heart
Lord, take my hand and lead me to destiny
Give me understanding where knowledge waits
My life is in your daily hands
I am your servant being at your demand
My belief is my testimony
I conquered Death because you give life
My flesh doesn’t roam

You enriched me in spirituality where others said I shouldn’t
But my testimony ranks high
It is you that help me to stride
For that reason, there is no need for me to cry
Carry me where I need to be
My testimony for all to hear and see

Your blessings just keep giving
Your servant is here, through you, I will continue to preserver
Thank you Lord for always being near

Whispers of love echoing in my ear
Total inspiration when you are near
Your hand in mine feeling the closeness of being among
Our eyes connect to each other to look upon
Lips with another in the enchanting kiss
Our romance feeling like a loving story book
But all it took was the look
I am your Prince and you are my Queen
We have established a bond with nothing in between
But our hearts in knowing what that means
We are the candle with a flame staying lit
Our love being strong with an everlasting fit
It’s the eternity trust
The whole idea of loving being a must
Yet our love goes beyond lust
Fulfillment being our request
For better and nothing for less
Adornment has surfaced being the absolute best
Our naked bodies have connected together like nobody else
We know what love is all about
Our caress is always a shout
Our whispers of love is spoken straight out.

HEAVEN’S WAKE-UP TRAIN
preservationman Oct 2016
It’s not Amtrak, Long Island Railroad nor Metro North.
It’s Heaven’s Wake-Up train that picked me up at where I am station.
It was All Aboard being the indication.
Baggage is not necessary to ride, just praise and tell the Earth Goodbye.
Our journey is going to be far.
Not a place where one could at a distance as it is passed the stars.
Just have your praising voice on.
We are talking about everlasting that will last long.
The Conductor said, “Tickets are not collected”
Your reservation is already confirmed.
When I stepped aboard the Wake Up Train.
I left struggles, hatred, pain, despair and Uncertainty all on Earth.
It’s a tomorrow of a new day and new enriched birth.
Next being the final stop, Heaven being nonstop.
Heaven’s gates opened up wide.
This is where I will stride.
It will be honor and glory that will abide.
I am home.
Home from home, but praise within the roam.
Where souls are never alone.
I will never forget that WAKE UP TRAIN.
It was On-time with no delays.
The continued Lord’s words being the relay
Spiritually I am ok.
Yet praising and rejoicing will be every day.
That valued moment became Heaven’s stay.

But it won’t be anytime soon

For all it takes for as long
I wish I could just reach the moon straight up
But from the distance, I can only see the Moon’s make up
At night the moon looking like a bright sphere
However, I wish I could move from Earth in order to preserver
Live on the moon being a new place
The old environment of Earth certainly I would erase
Gat away from this rat race
Having inspiration and a fulfilling trace
The moon a waits
However no specific date
For now, I will remain on Earth in my current estate.

A POET’S DIARY
preservationman Apr 2017
My mind says write
My thoughts illustrate am I right?
A Poet must have a concept
But also adapt
Words can have a rhyme
It can also have possibilities
Adjectives into verbs
The right combination being like an herb
But the specific Poet’s story had an angle, and it went like this
Tension was pressures on my heart
My mind being like a violet storm
Echoes upon echoes of many voices
Yet my senses alert alarm after alarm
A rocky avalanche occurs
But one is right in the middle of the situation
One’s life could end in that split second
Reckons calls
Pray on the knees in fall
Oh Lord I am in a plight
Possible darkness with transcending light
My soul will go up to thee
I am asking spare my life
Suddenly the avalanche passes over
One praying soul survives
This was a Poet’s story encounter
But it makes one really wonder
The Poet was destined to write
But if one has Faith and truly believe
Writing with confident will help relieve
A Poet must have the idea to always perceive.

Tomorrow from yesterday
The past reminding for the future
The journey shall be until
The place, Smithsonian National Afro American Museum of History and Culture in Washington, DC
The date was April 22, 2017, Saturday
Heritage coming in many accomplishments and shouting voices
Legacies of choice
A time of discrimination
Places where rebellion rang high
Questions still remain as of why?
Historians who were determined to break racial barriers
Race being under one accord
Yet all guided by our Heavenly Lord
Wars fighting the many struggles
Freedom being only a word in distance of when
I am Black with a mind to think
Being a Slave they were told to obey
The whole idea of being a slave it was simply a resource being ok
But Black Scholars spoke out
Yet Race was about interacting with other Races and moving about
A time for justice being about time
We will use whatever resources combined
Fight we will, and win we shall
It didn’t matter Bloodshed or Death
Justice was coming no matter what
Marches all throughout the South
Town after Town with names called out beyond their own
Segregation being a term that was considered ok
But this America is about being free, and this was decreed from thee
The Freedom Riders with determined to fight and Greyhound Bus Lines was the one that opened the light
Marches and voices
Chanting Freedom, “We shall Overcome”
Air waves were spread into big waves being shore to shore
Afro-Americans were told they must stay in their place
The thought being from the opposition
But Afro-Americans knew they must position
Education was the number one tool
Having knowledge doesn’t make you a fool
It just makes opposition drool
Freedom did come, and Race was a combination in coming together
Smithsonian NMAMHC being a way of helping all Americans to see Freedom as a right
Smithsonian shed some light
Cause with effect
A purpose not being an elect
I am a Black who seen and conquered
Wonder no more
Just continue to educate and explore.

WHY AM I HATED SO?
preservationman Jun 2017
It is because you went left and I decided to go right
Yet around me why are people so uptight?
Could it be when you cough, I yond
When you cuss I don’t respond
It is how I define and you complain
Perhaps my devotion to Christ
This is where I get my advice
A real want isn’t a need
But is how Christ helps one to proceed
Understanding is goodness
Yet lack of knowledge is being uneducated
The mirror image is what people think
The outer appearance is what people actually see
I am straight forward being my confess
My personality and stature says it best
Who thought?
Yet you didn’t bother to find out
Why should I shout?
Conclusions are your illusions
Confusion, I can’t take part
I won’t even start
Hate goes beyond what a people feels about me
But if you talk to me anyone will see
No need to figure me out
Don’t even think about a shout
I will not argue being a bout
Life is worth getting along
Togetherness in harmony where everyone belongs
So hate on
I am a person whose mind is strong
I could go on and on
But I have more achieving to do
While you are still thinking through
I said what needed to be said being due.

Hidden behind the curtain, the audience is in for a surprise
There will be wonder in the audience eyes

The stage that will come alive
The galaxy yonder and what the audience doesn’t even suspect
The purpose in giving the audience an illumination as if they could touch the stars and accelerating through the Milky Way
Now this is no time to eat a Milky Way Bar
Planets after Planets zeroing in on the audience
Occurrence could happen in any given moment
Closer and closer
Suddenly planets collide hovering over the audience
Later, the seasons suddenly change, and it is a moment of being in the cold
But following there will be a behold
Snowflakes start to fall as light snow, but get heavy and turn into a snowstorm
However, there is something strange about this norm
I urge you in don’t be alarmed
Suddenly a Snowman appears, but all he wants to do is just scare
But be alert and beware
Now we are in for an uphill climb
The finale that would be up any kid’s alley

Fasten your seat belts
This is a Roller Coaster ride on the big screen
We will be going up for the start and down in acceleration throughout the ride
Entertainment the stride
Immediately the curtain will come down
The audience will feel they had travelled around

Yet no Wizard nor magical wand
It’s only a memory to look upon.

A search for resolutions
Drawing not to own conclusions
A test of one’s Faith
Struggles that can be many
Possibilities in opening the prayer door
Salvation where one must explore
In the Movie Theatre during the screen showing, I found myself lifting up my own praise
The illustration of God’s miracle, I found myself thinking about what I overcame being what would had been my own Death with nothing but amaze
I poured out my praise with tears
However, it was pure joy having no fears
My thought during the movie in Jesus being the Great I am
Hope in believing
The Holy Scriptures in relieving
Temptation being nothing more than deceiving
Deceptive having God’s receptive
Heaven being a worthy place
Everlasting in eternal being the trace
The journey on wearing full God’s armor on
The Question of Faith
Embracing of God’s love
Follow me, and you will find peace
Follow me, and you will find rest
However, in salvation there is always a test
The Lord being the miracle maker
Hallelujah, and again Hallelujah
Doubt having no place in Heaven’s place
Question of Faith
Answer being established with the Lord
Faith Assurance throughout being under God’s accord
This is all brought to you by in thank you from our Lord.

FACE IN THE MIRROR
preservationman Oct 2015
A reflection that wasn’t my own
Yet my curiosity needed to be known
The face was of somebody else
It was another like no other
A face I didn’t know
But a refection with a voice in having a message
Tell others, “Inspire to be alive”
A true promise with no jive
Reflection in not having a mirror crack
The message being clear and sharp as a tack
The reflection made me realize to put all my troubles away in a stack
Later throwing them away as a permanent memory pack
True inspiration with full desire
Face in the mirror can be anybody having an outlook
For me this is all it took
You in the mirror needing a change
It’s all a matter to just rearrange
To change into improve
The heart and mind coming together in soothe
The end of anguish with nothing to prove
Mirror with a reflection, and appreciation for one’s self being the indication.

Let’s gather the words
My Lecture I need to be heard
Words are more than just a sentence
They can be used for reference
A story having influence be told using pointer words
Your heart has a word which pumps blood throughout your body
Words are the intellect which educate
But let me illustrate
Participation and involvement all relate
It’s movement established through the mind which communicate
Words can carry your thought and bring you to distance
The understanding in what the mile of theory would be
Yet the continuing sentences explaining the theory
Words can become deeper than any Lecture
The letters add to the adventure
As I walk around the room, I am thinking of words that would inspire you all
It’s EXCEL, INSPIRATION, ENCOURAGEMENT, OPPORTUNITY AND COMMODITY
They all connect with each other
They are spelled differently, but lead in the same direction
My lecture was such to open your eyes
You possess knowledge with understanding and words that will make you wise
This is the conclusion of Professor Knows It
All you have to do is apply the principles, and that’s all too it
But the mission is to try and experiment your self.

SO WHAT’S THE NAME, GREYHOUND
BUT THE OTHER BUS SAID, IT BELONGS TO THE SECOND LARGEST BUS LINE
SO WHAT’S THAT NAME, PETER PAN
SO WE WERE A TEAM
AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT IT WOULD SEEM
NOW I AM NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN
REMEMBER, GREYHOUND AND PETER PAN DID A PARTNER DEPART
YET WE BOTH ARE A BUS
WE ARE DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER
BUT WE ARE VINTAGE AND THERE WILL BE NO ANOTHER
BUT WE ATTRACT ON THE OPEN ROAD WITH A BEHOLD
SO LET’S BE BUS FRIENDS UNTIL THE END
BECAUSE WE ARE BUSES, WE CAN
STEERING WHEELS TO TIRES
HEADLIGHTS TO ENGINE
BUSES TO BUSES OFFERING AMAZEMENT TO BUS FANS, AND EXTENDS THROUGHOUT THE LAND.

THE POWER OF A HUMBLE LAMB
preservationman Mar 2016
My name was called in the distance
I stopped suddenly being an instance
I proceed to walk on
But the voice got louder and it was a command being strong
I began to tremble in my stance
But it seemed the distance voice was giving me a chance
It was the connection of the voice from the Lord
I didn’t utter a word
I listened and let the Lord be heard
It was inspiring words for me
You could see the praise for all to see
The Lord told me, “As you continue to live and see, I will always be with you guiding you through many struggles and you are my flock”
There will be people that will try to mock
I trained you well and you know how to block
Your defenses will be like a lock
A voice that was so kind and gentle
It was the humbleness of a lamb
A man so powerful
A man who is great and worthy
The same man that has given me inspiration being my own story
It’s all about praise and glory
No more too say then the end of the story.

A WISH UPON A WHY
preservationman Jan 2015
I looked up at the sky with my own eyes
A voice said I am high above and are am I
I wondered if there was some truth
I am older and no longer in my youth
The W was my thinking on what
The Y being illusion from yesterday
No beginning but an endless conclusion
Yet my heart is not certain
My soul doesn’t seem to be assured
My life needs detail to be explored
A moment could take an hour
My continued negative thought could end up being sour
Every honor with every story
Praise with everlasting glory
It stands with every circling hour
My why comes near
Yet I feel some astonishing fear
My mind not wanting to question
I don’t want to make a suggestion
But a continued wish in my why
With every effort there seems to be a cry
My Why is the analysis within Try
But I don’t want to get wet but stay dry
With every passing thought, I knew I have been taught
I figured it out, and it’s my understanding in a proven sought.

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.

Can you imagine small scale toy buses spelling words?
Have you heard?
My collection of scale toy buses
Having enthusiasm adding being pluses
I wanted to do something different
Being the start, I took of some of my buses, and formed the word “BUS” actually using my buses to spell out
Now that is what I am talking about
It didn’t stop there
What came next doesn’t even compare
I decided later to spell out my name using buses to come out with my abbreviation of “AB”
It came out exact
I am telling you being the fact
Then I decided to do “TONY”
I can honestly say it was no phony
My scale toy buses formed all in perfection
A creative mind being the selection
I believe I added to my bus appreciation
It has become a committed responsibility
Now it’s mounting as reality.

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.

BOOK OF LIES
preservationman Sep 2016
Truth having on place to be found
Falsehood is the chapter always being bound
Chapters after chapters that are never defined
Yet total conviction that’s never kind
There’s never a reason for truth to sink in
Book of lies that never bends
The Book Of Lies for people to feel like fools
Circumstances that would make anyone drool
You don’t deserve the truth
Think back on the evilness you did in your youth
It was people’s hearts you torn apart
Yet you continued your lies thinking you were clever and smart
Book of Lies was written just for you
It is for you in thinking through
Your constant lies
Come to yourself and compromise
You will find you are the surprise
Lies in turning things around
I don’t want to hear it, and don’t make a sound
Book of Lies that had its own truth
Your lies were of that proof.

SHOWBIZ LIVE
preservationman Aug 2023
My memory lane
Entertainment in can’t complain
That would be lame
The Great White Way BROADWAY
My time at the Town Hall Theater on West 43rd Street in New York City
A City big and wide known as the Big Apple
The show was “I NEED A MAN’, a small role with a big cast playing a Date
Moment that took effect where time wasn’t wasted
It was as gospel play leading to spiritual
Nothing unusual
Showbiz seen through entertaining realize
Utter in the sound and it will be heard throughout the town
I hear voices chatter of words of who and how being heard
Care to dance or do you prefer to sit it out
The show must go on
The stage is where I belong
Life is never easy
Certainly not cheesy
Learned the Piano and ***** through a Professional Female Opera Singer and Male concert Pianist and Voice
Sometimes I cry and ask I want fame beyond my real name
Isn’t it rich
Be patient now
Through the light and dark, I have gone far
I know I was born to do this
Dancing is only part of the twist
Don’t stop me now or you will see my fist
Wait a minute, you told me you would give me that kiss
I guess it is a hit and miss
My memories in Pennsylvania came about through SHERATON HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER Lily Langtry Dinner Theater in Valley Forge, PA King of Prussia area
Juke Box Jubilee and Egyptian King
Ruling over colonies with dancing girls
The King was ready to be entertained
Appeared in “THE CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE NUTCRACKER and various other shows
One in particular being MOUNT HAVEN RESORT in Milford, PA in the. Heart of the Poconos
It was a musical moment of make believe delighting the audience
Some have said to me personally, “ I don’t know enough”
I call their bluff
All I can say is Spotlight, Dazzle, Music and audience applause
Showbiz best
Forever reminded
Uplifted and Determined
Encore being my finale
Showbiz friendly
My time being my fondest moments
Showbiz accomplished.

JUDGE FANCY
preservationman May 2021
Innovation and Precision
Honor the Judge
The court does not serve any fudge
Prestige in here comes the Judge Fancy
Justice setting
Quality cases
Jurisdictions being money wasted
Taste within the courtroom w4alls
Lawyers in designer Fancy Suits
Cases after Cases full of investigating pursuits
Rights
Justifications with no courtroom fights
The Judge Fancy wearing a distinctive robe
Judge Fancy is known all over the globe
Fancy with essential fashion
Judge Fancy’s verdicts seem more like a cushion
Some might think all an illusion
Yet everyone draws conclusion
But everyone in the courtroom wants seclusion
Judge Fancy is that moment of truth
It all started in his Judging youth
Judge Fancy, a man of elegance
He knows just the right fragrance
You scent the presence of Judge Fancy in an instance
That’s his way
But things do change day by day

Sweetness like candy
One Savor at a time
Sensual whispers
Eyes that attract
Words of romance
Candles setting the mood
Closeness Love nice and smooth
Tender touch
Loving much
Heart pounds like a book chapter being continuous love
Kisses like a recharging battery
The talking in love flattery
Love holding steady
Vibes that extend
Love never wanting to end
True love with no pretend
Love at the chasing moment
Beckon call
True love says it all.

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.

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.

My location in viewing was Regal Union Square in New York City
October 15, 2022
Mississippi was where the story took place
Medgar Evers on the case adding to the trace
It was injustice and hatred portrayed
The analogy of being black
The opposition in wanting black to take back
The movie was more than a flick
The lies told throughout that stuck
Anger with emotion
Cries feeling the pain of Emmett Till’s Mother
The open coffin of her son’s reality
The world saw and remembered
The lifeless body of Emmett Till
Justice wasn’t served
A mixed menu of what was not ordered
I held this movie close to my heart
Legacy influence from Thurgood Marshall and Civil Rights Leader, Medgar Wiley
Evers
There’s a connection, and I personally felt the experience of the movie throughout
I actually met the Medgar Evers Family, and I graduated from CUNY Medgar Evers College
This person is legacy as well, but wasn’t in the movie with a mention
I was lectured at CUNY MEC by Professor Dr. Betty Shabazz, Malcolm X’s Widow
Even though Miss Till loss the battle, she proved to the Racist world that Blacks have a Voice, Courageous, Determined and will not be still
The voices of reason will always shout out
Miss Till surpassed through the tribulations, Boundaries and Crossing Forbidden Lines
Yet, she held her dignity in honor of her son, Emmett Till
Miss Till was encouraged through the higher minds of legacy
She was guided by Heaven’s eyes
Pillar of Strength
All costs at every length
Emmett Till with smiles and joy
The train may have departed
The Sunrise and Sunset captures the paths taken
The world awakened
Emmett Till until
Everlasting
Spirit reigns
Emmett Till ranks
Thanks

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.

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.

8 DAYS OF SCENERY

IT ALL HAPPENED ON A GREYHOUND BUS
IT WS A VACATION GETAWAY BEING A MUST
THIS WAS WHILE I WAS IN MY TWENTIES
A CROSS COUNTRY RIDE
THIS IS WHAT ONLY THE GREYHOUND BUS CAN PROVIDE
THE BUS STOPPED IN VARIOUS TOWNS AND MAJOR CITIES
COUNTRY MUSIC WITH ROCKY MOUNTAIN THOUGHTS
I ACTUALLY SEEN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS UP CLOSE STANDING TALL WITH SNOW IN THE HIGH PEAKS
THIS WAS IN SEPTEMBER 1983
AS I LEANED BACK IN MY RECLINING SEAT
THE GREYHOUND BUS ADDED JUST THE RIGHT TREAT
THE BUS PICTURE WINDOWS BEING LIKE MOVIE SCREENS
TOWNS WITH STRANGE NAMES
SALT LAKE CITY BEING THE MORMONS THOU
THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS WITH SPLENDID SUNSET
ARIZONA WITH THE CACTUS AROMA
MY THOUGHT WAS RIDE THEM COWBOY, BUT THROUGH THE GREYHOUND WAY
SCENERY BACK TO BACK
VENTURE BEING A NEVER ENDING TRACK
EAST TO WEST AND BACK TO THE EAST
THE ADVENTURE WAS A THROUGHOUT FEAST.

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”.

PEPPER AND SALT CHAPTER
preservationman Jul 2016
Shades of a different color
Yet you don’t want to communicate
Because of color, you don’t want to even relate
The above skies spell fate
However, we all were put on this Earth to associate
This setting being what formed years ago called create
But Race is becoming a strong factor
One man with courage in being great and powerful wanted to make all of us change
It was Dr. Martin Luther King who wanted separation not remain
Yet as individuals we constantly complain
Freedom the outer world wants to change
But what happened when one opens their mouth?
Yes it all started in the Deep South
A world can’t live on Bread alone
It’s fellowship being togetherness and I am letting it be known
This just makes plain sense
However, the past is the past and I am keeping it in the present tense
Slavery is where Race all came in
It became a trend that continues today being a begin
Why is separation so important?
Why can’t be come together as friends not enemies?
Do we have to be foes?
The country is running on overdrive woes
The decree of freedom is exactly in what is says
Skin tone should be left alone
It is not necessary in letting it be known
Race hasn’t done you No wrong
But when you think of Pepper and Salt, an ingredient adding flavor
We should be just like Pepper and Salt and coming together being savor
Honestly, that is our true example of how all races should come together
We all are different from each other
But it is about friendship being to one another
America and the world, are you listening?
We must not break away, but have understanding every day.

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.

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.
