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.

THE SPIRITUAL MINUTE
preservationman Jul 2017
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.

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.

On some given days you would see “Speed” on the move
It was New York City justice too prove
A criminal chase would often make citizens think that that were seeing a movie
It might sound groovy
But it was the real NYPD thing
A car chase would often make anybody think if they are witnessing a race
“Speed” was just that fast
The remembrance will certainly last
Moving with urgency
Crime with Justice on Speed’s mind
Jail time for criminals combined
If you Rob, Steal or Mug justice in NYPD policy
But then again, justice is faced in major cities across the United States
But this is a retirement send off for a Horse named “Speed”
As you retire, I will always think on establishment in proceed
However, a NYPD battle against crime, there is a message when you were in need
Assurance being in your own right
Everyone could see it in plain sight
After all, I have respect and you deserve that as I am polite
You deserve the spotlight
You were more than a horse of course
You were are a Policemen’s friend
The public showed you love all within
Yet with pride and dignity you showed honor in knowing you took part in Justice being can
As you retire, there is a certain inspire
But don’t ever tire
You leave behind other horses in following your lead
Don’t be surprised if Mr. Ed calls you in need
The NYPD will miss that Policemen street moving ride
But it was the citizen’s protection that you need provide
It was saddle up
Let your gallop be a cast in the wind
Your retirement is not a good-bye but until then
“Speed”, continue to ride on
Your sundown is your inspiration that you spread around
Now you can settle down and relaxation will be your sound
Gallop Gallop one last time
Retirement is your reward, and I honor you with a silver sword.

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.

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.

TURKEY SPLIT
preservationman Nov 2024
Year after year
Thanksgiving feast preserver
The Pilgrims started this Thanksgiving thing
All we Turkey’s get is the Ax sling
Slaughtered until lifeless
We live once at least
We the Turkeys have a force
It’s a shame it is the knife and fork
The Pilgrims are satisfied
Turkeys are petrified
We never see eye to eye
We Turkeys can’t even try, but cry
Turkey farms everywhere beware
We intend to revolt
A win or loss protest
Eating Turkey on Thanksgiving we must refuse
The battle is on
Life is where we belong
Being free in every way
Dinner tables shouldn’t be our stay
We need to getaway
That Ax is always in our direction
Main course being the selection
Every year the same question, “Dark or light meat or the wing”
As a Turkey, Thanksgiving is not our thing
We have no protection and no chance of a wing.

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.

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.

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”.

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.

But verse for verse is our confidence in being certain
Our words resting upon your hearts

Yet confident is within our seal

Words beyond your wildest imaginations in what we as Poet’s can create
But with the understanding, our writing is never too late
It could be history from the Poet’s specific date
Yet it will be words that could fill any plate
The ingredients having the aroma that attracts the senses
Any Poet’s words steam our from any ***
Yet we always have a dialog seemingly like a plot
It’s our have and never not
So reader, come along and join the many waves of Poet’s
Words that could very well be your own
But we will never know unless you like it be known
However as Poet’s, we are worth being full blown
Look and read in future writings in seeing how our sentences take off, and how the breeze of words will take your breath away.

Man meets Woman
Saw each other as just another commuter
Average straphangers
They weren’t expecting romance
Subway ride through the love tunnel
Suddenly a change of pace
Rush hour minute
Usual crowd
As the Man and Woman were pinned together on a crowded subway train
This is where the subway romance began to build up
Eye to Eye facing each other
The man kiss to the woman
Love came front and center target
The romance of two
They dated for months and three years
They were now Husband and Wife
The daily subway ride had made the romance rise
No surprise
Transit hub match

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.

You will be missed
Your heroine efforts to fight what’s right
There was a darkness that surrounded you
But you were determined to be guided by God’s light
Your name and face will always be a vision of sight
It was your courage being determined with might
You felt racial barriers had no place in life
Protest from radical groups just didn’t understand
It was turmoil and over throw in their demand
But the Radical groups focusing on their own analysis and agenda
Yet Heather Heyer, you were distinguished being your involvement to accomplish
However your achievement was satisfied by Heaven
You may have died in the flesh

I remember participating in the last Gathering Of the Buses with the host being Charles and Janet Wotring
It was their hospitality
When this trip was formed being reality
It was vintage buses from the past
Seeing the historical buses was a blast
I also remember riding a Wolf Mini Bus
It was a journey back
It’s amazing I am remembering all that
It was Trailways buses still in their original Paint Scheme
It was almost like they were still in operating service
They looked like brand new
But that is what makes the whole story a slew
Just like a game of Chess, you can check me with having the fact
Stopping at key points of bus interest in Gettysburg, Hagerstown, Carlisle, York and Hershey
I saw a Buick being a bus
But that is how buses were formed being a plus
But the highlight of the journey was eating at a former Greyhound Bus Station in Hagerstown, Maryland turned into a town restaurant
However, I almost forgot the actual name, but it should have been called the “Depot Restaurant”
The Restaurant still had Greyhound’s original past and fixtures including the waiting area seats vintage
All I needed was an announcement of arrivals and departures
It was intriguing seeing a Depot Restaurant that once was a busy Greyhound Bus Depot with travelling passengers
So it was me and the highway road in unite
It was Greyhound’s past Depot in history in plain sight.

PEPPER AND SALT CHAPTER

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.

You continued to smoke
You thought God was a total joke
Yet you continued to drink
But when it came to God you didn’t know what to think
Yet God called you several times
But you disconnected your mind and you remained living in evil
You continue to walk in darkness
Yet light is what helps one see
However, you legs wimble because you are unable to stand
Remember Earth is god’s creation being the solid land
God is spiritual and the Heavenly Man
Hell is not a place where you can use a fan
The Devil lives there being the Evil Man
Not a sentence with just and
God will continue to call
This establishes for all
So the mission being in don’t stall
So where were you when God called?
You will eventually have to answer

Every broken heart there is a tomorrow

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.

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.

No getaway nor trap door

Escape will not be easy

STRONG BONDING
preservationman Mar 2018
It’s not a competition in who can stand
There is no demand comprising command
It’s about having a strong character attribute
It’s life in how one contributes
Knowing how to express one’s voice in a precise matter
Surviving above all negativity
Moving within prosperity
A man and woman being in a relationship of understanding
The focus centering sustaining
Having no override
Total control of both within drive
It’s not about who has the muscle
It’s also not about a hustle
Seeing survival as a way of life
Responsibility in a learning experience without any advice
Both parties can’t have a mind weak
Both parties can’t possess the thinking of retreat
Living is daily week to week
Both parties being strong and remaining full charged
It’s not about leadership in being large
Fully loaded with inner fuel to endure life’s continuation
Pardon here as that is the indication
But it becomes a lesson of tribulation
Value coming from the heart
Morality with no excuses
Exchanging ideas together with no refusal
Strong in will and personality
But knowing how to function sociality
Strong in self-respect
Knowing how to live in what one would expect
A sense of purpose in why one would reject
But might be a subject of define
However nothing needs to be spelled out
Both parties strong in being mighty has its own about
A strong man and woman take your appropriate place
This is no time to outdo being a waste
Being strong totally in the mind
But for education purposes, please keep that in mine.

We argued all the time
Your rebuke being my move on
I responded with I will get along
There was no love only cheating on both sides
Get out, you can’t reside
Commitment has no meaning
It was simply lies
I am not a light switch being on and off
When you stepped out
Your cheating was known all about
From sunset to sundown you were nowhere to be found
I now have peace and tranquil
I have no tears
I don’t want you ever to come near
I am able to move on
My heart being a locked secure door
You are a person I will always ignore
You only want to put me down
But I am not falling to the ground
You are long distance by my standards
I have a totally different approach
My words are no joke
You say you want, but really didn’t need
My life now is focused on me to continue to proceed
No further need
Goodbye now forever

I was bitten by the acting stage
My inner emotions full of rage
Yet the stage called
I then answered
Entered as a Man
Confer as a Philosopher
Singing being the delivering messenger
Music being the entire interlude
But here’s the include
Drama with Dramatics throughout
A world that came to an end
Run for your lives
But where can one run
The biblical revelations has already been done
The Earth seemed to open up
The Heaven’s were fed up
The Bible said just what would come
But the world didn’t prepare
There was nothing where
Time was up
Life as I know will be no more
This tomorrow is a soar
My tears that I shred have no assured
A devastation that the world can’t ignore
My strength draws weak with no endurance
The Heaven’s were my only influence
But this will be the last time
My eyes forever grow dim and darkness surrounds me
The sun has turned black
No time to turn back
My fate is what I feel but can’t see
Tomorrow will be eternity
But there is no sorrow and pity
This is my destiny and I have taken my last breath
My hour has come with no time left
My spirit has risen
The Thunder roars and the Lightening with flash
I am gone.

ROLL AWAY BED
preservationman Oct 2016
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.

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.

OH THAT SNORING AGAIN
preservationman Jun 2020
Every night I try to sleep
I find myself counting sheep
My Husband’s snoring is driving me nuts
I know the Neighbors can hear as the windows aren’t shut
I am hoping for a miracle of silence
Well in the meantime, let me read a book
Wouldn’t you know it, the book is titled, “Don’t let Snoring keep you up”?
Who wrote this book, Rip Van Winkle?
But then again, perhaps I should do the up close approach to my Husband’s snoring, let me get a hammer, and tell him its hammer time
Who am I fooling?
Even the hammer wouldn’t work
I thought of putting a pillow over my Husband’s entire head leading to the mouth
But that would probably cause my Husband in thinking ******
I don’t need to be on “****** She Wrote”
My only request is, let me sleep for goodness sake
That snoring I can’t take
Suddenly for the moment the snoring grows silent
Now I can finally sleep
My Husband said good morning and woke me up
No I don’t need Folgers in my cup
Well it is AM
Work you know
Have a good day got too go

BUS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE
preservationman Nov 2017
It was a trip on Greyhound with destination being Minneapolis, Minnesota
Well that is one ordah
Now I am travelling during a winter snowstorm
I am sure you know how that feels like
But I will keep it simple and polite
However, this trip is not going to be any different than any other winter trip
But I don’t have any tip
But I am on Greyhound and I am in the smack of a snowstorm
This is winter and the norm
But we are on Highway 88, and the road is blinding
You can barely see in the front, and don’t even think about looking back
It was bad just like that
The Greyhound Driver carefully maneuvers the bus, but we become stuck that involves cars, trucks, and us
Now the bus wasn’t a must
But I am on a Greyhound bus but can’t fuss
However, when the Greyhound Driver announced we can’t move anymore, boy did some of the passengers cuss
But the snow steadily coming down along with ice since we were in the middle of a snowstorm
Conditions and attitudes apply
We were stuck with no movement
Snowstorm having no improvement
Highway 88 became a wait
I won’t travel like this again will be another date
I will be arriving a couple days late
Well we have been on this Greyhound bus for two days
This bus became our hotel stay
The third day arrived, and we were finally on our way
After all, Greyhound’s slogan does say, “Leave The Driving to Us”
Passengers can cuss and fuss
But that was my accord that involved us.

Before I begin, let’s take a moment of Code OF Silence
Brief pause, remembering all the people that loss their lives
That day of September 11, 2001 was like any other typical weekday morning
People were commuting from everywhere on their way to work
Nothing seemed suspicious
It was a clear summery sunny day being obvious
There was no thought of an attack
Suddenly a passenger plane went into Tower One
However, that attack was only half done
Immediately following, Tower 2 got a big fiery smack
The explosions were like a movie thrilling flack
But the world became motionless
So many names having no time to list
Terrorist were definitely made their move
Their mission having an agenda to prove
The world’s lives were changed forever
I was supposed to work in Tower One on the 96th Floor for Marsh and McClennan
But I was told I was overqualified two days before
It was my time for Heaven to explore, so Heaven literally said, “Just Ignore”
This anniversary is a remembrance of loss friends and family
Human souls were already lifted up to Heaven
Heaven has the souls for safekeeping
The message from America to the Terrorist, “You can’t keep a strong nation down as America has strived from many vintage points all around. Fear is not our stopping ground, but our Faith in God that will always stay around. We have sacrificed , and it’s God who controls and gives advice. We will continue to stand as our spirit is pride and dignity being our command.  Heart to Heart with fear will never be near. We will never forget and we have no regret. We are strong in the multitude, and we have peace being our solitude”.

WITHIN THE DARKENED ALLEY
preservationman Apr 2017
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.

THE S.S. POETRY ENTERPRISE
preservationman Sep 2017
Ship to shore
The high seas to explore
Sea waves to open the Poet’s mind
Breathing in that fresh clean air
The Poet writes while sitting on deck
A bird on the deck being a wood peck
The Poet writes, “I am aboard the S.S. Poetry Enterprise. It’s my poetry composition having a realize. It is the ship cruising the ocean, and the ship’s horn is letting all other ships know it”.
I feel relaxed and laid back
No job to think about, how about that?
As a Poet, I am taking this vacation to just write
Taking in all the sights
My emotions are full of fun
This is a seven days cruise, and I am far from done
By the time my journey’s end, I would have written several poetry pieces
The words would go like this
An ocean that goes beyond the miles
Thinking on many words during while
In my hand is my cup of thought
In my mind is a concept sought
Words don’t conclude my life, but extend it
Writing is a pure gift
A commodity being an inspired thrift
What makes the Poet’s get away special?
It’s the cruise giving the Poet open expression being essential
The ocean refreshes the words needing to be said
The confidence being the instead
Well I will be cruising several more days
Ship Ahoy Mates!
It’s the Poet and the captivating ship having a date.

God called your name
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
The divinity in making you wise
The clouds that gather
It’s your true soul that matters
God’s voice echoing beyond any mountain and enriching in valley’s look
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
The faith of one’s belief
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.

What will Santa deliver to all the Boys and Girls?
Money or perhaps the taste of honey
Might that will turn into excite
Joy being Oh boy
Advice with nothing but sugar and spice
A very tasteful Gingerbread House now that would be nice
Now all those thoughts do sound good
But the question still remains if Santa could?
However Santa has run into a plight
Santa’s sleigh headlight may not shine tonight
Christmas comes at the stroke of midnight, and it’s Christmas Eve with scheduling being tight
Christmas might not come at all
This has become Santa’s call
But, it was like a miracle in the stars
It all came from a far
Rudolph’s nose that shined so bright
Santa asks, “Rudolph, my sleigh needs your nose that gives radiant light”
Well right after, the Elves got busy again
There’s no time thinking when, can if and then
Production prevails and we must set sail
Rudolph and the Reindeer team dashed well into the night
Christmas morning will be every child’s delight
Well there you have it where Christmas almost wasn’t going to be
There is no answer to that, but the world did see
Yet too the world, Santa travelled well hidden and beyond any observation electronic
Then it’s the journey back where Christmas always began
Every child wishing and hoping
The sky stars all filled with dreams
But that is a child theme with overflowing streams
Christmas cheers too one and all, and Happy New Year 2017 being the prosperous call.

It’s about knowing how and arriving at can
The learning process during when
Carefully on target planning thinking all through then
Inspired in the mind
Positive approach must be combined
Fine tuning of current and tomorrow’s skills
Skills that will be recharged and enriched personality

The word “Excellence” at its best
You are the person being the example for this test
The Old Typewriter Theory, “A, E, O and Up the ladder in perfection in reaching the leadership top
Accomplishments in efforts that shouldn’t stop
My Grandfather always taught me that no matter what the challenge, have confidence in ability and add knowledge from education in knowing how to follow through
Distance sounds far, but it is up to you to bring achievement in being local
“Thinking you can’t is a negative you won’t”
Can’t doesn’t apply until you have illustrated try
Efforts in sacrifice that might make you cry
Yet achieve will be even be questionable on thoughts focusing on still
But your true establishment must be fulfilled on a destined will
What was a thought in being a big climb, you made it too the top of the hill
You actually didn’t think how the will
You saw challenge and knew you had to conquer
You left others wondering with a ponder
Remember these encouraging words, “Look up, but don’t look down, but do encourage others in need as you life depends in the outgoing future in how you will continue to proceed.

Many movies have portrayed “Miracle on 34th” versions beyond the actual
But I actually worked during the ordeal
My story is certainly for real
I have been with Macy’s Thirty-Seven Years
Through the years, I managed to preserver
It was during the Macy’s-Gimbels era is what I went through
I am sure you see the clue
It was a time when a Macy’s and Gimbels Buyers had lunch
There was talk of merchandising while they munched
Business was discussed on Macy’s side and Gimbels found out about Macy’s Strategy
So Gimbels explored Macy’s campaign
Well the aftermath that shall remain
So Macy’s was outraged with what had transpired from Gimbels
Macy’s decided to spy on Gimbels to see what concept they could pick up
Macy’s couldn’t get the whole element since Gimbels had their plan complex
So Macy’s became upset
Yet they knew they needed a plan of their own to be competitive
But its Macy’s in wanting to be objective
I worked in the CEO & Chairmen, Edward Finkelstein’s Executive Office along with his Executive Assistant, Veronica and I was their Typist
So an email went out stating to all Macy’s employee’s that we were not to discuss any Macy’s business with Gimbels
This was a different kind of miracle
But that was the day back then
However, the Macy’s and Gimbels competition comrades came to final end.

Just words alone that sure will amaze
It’s a story about a little boy
He was in distress as he has loss his most valued toy
A Greyhound toy bus the little boy treasured so well
But it will be more than a bus, it will be inspiration with a story of tell
The search went on and on
It was well into the night being long
The little boy shouted, “Where could my toy Greyhound bus be?
The little boy prayed to the stars
But his prayers went beyond going far
However, it is a place you can’t get to by car
So little Tom went fast to sleep
He was dreaming in finding his toy Greyhound bus to keep
There were moments when little Tom would sweep
But little Tom was inspired by the stars to believe in your heart
Well morning came, and little Tom’s toy Greyhound bus was sitting on the floor
But when little woke up, he was happy in galore
But how did the toy Greyhound bus get there and who found it?
Was it after all believing from within?
No one will actually tell
All one can say is oh well
Yet, one would have to believe it was a higher calling who saw the little boy’s heart looking yonder.

TURKEY MINUTE

The Thanksgiving Feast
It will be a holiday at least
The Turkey shall be put into the Oven
It will be glazed in flavor, but won’t be toughen
However, there may not be a Turkey this year
Turkeys are in a protest mode, and have stolen Turkeys from every kitchen
Turkeys are determined in not being eaten
When did this all happen?
How were the Turkeys able to pull off this caper?
No one was manning the kitchens within the houses
The Turkeys have taken their protest to the streets
All households are at a stance of hold that they have loss
Even though they are the multitudes have no force
Well the battle is between the Knives and Forks with the Turkeys
Care of wager on who would win
But how would the Pilgrims and Indians handle this situation?
Simple, “After those Turkeys”
Perhaps that is the approach the households will have to take
After all, what other meat within any household would want to make?
We are talking tradition
All I can say is have those Knives and Forks ready and go get that Turkey
Turkeys run today, but there will be a turnaround in every way.

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

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

TIME IN THE HORIZON
preservationman Feb 2017
A moment to think
All it takes is a wink
Seconds have passed even with the blink
Precision having a rush
Chatter that won’t hush
Eating breakfast that might taste like mush
Yet time with a purpose
Long and short hands being the quartz of a clock and watch
It’s the AM call with mass transit to catch
A rush having no time to pray
The forgotten mode that has gone astray
Time being acceleration in life on Earth
The seconds of a new living birth
It’s all a matter within timing
Knowing how much of valued time you have
Time with a message in “Use it wisely”
But the most important time is giving some time to Christ
He is the Holy one that gives sound advice
It’s his understanding bringing together wisdom and wise
As time revolves, there might be even a happy surprise
Time is controlled by the Holy One being his own acceleration
Time is about living and having appreciation
Time can be precious to some
Then there’s others where the value of time having none
The clock moves in accordance with the seconds in the hour
Time can also put termination being an expire
Time is simply surrounded with so much power
No time to keep up
Time precision zinc
It doesn’t matter what you and I think
The best of times and even the bad
The revolving time, but through the open door you should keep in mind.

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
