preservationman Jun 2023
I can contest
Put me to the test
My heart in confess
Greyhound bus in my soul
I am a walking behold
My younger years my start
The Greyhound dog stretched always seen on all sides of the bus always caught my attention
The highway representation
I am a walking Greyhound bus presentation
The Greyhound bus wear
Proud and honored with care
Of course, I always get a stare
That is no more than fair
The Go is within me
The Greyhound bus I want people to see
No secret no regret
Thinking of the hound, I cherish the engine sound
Accelerate as I appreciate
The Greyhound bus in me today, I will continue all the way.

CRACKED SKY
preservationman Aug 2017
Lightening through the captivating skies
Thunder roared
The Earth began in a hard shook
But the world’s eyes glazed at the skies and got a look
The world’s faces began to show fear
Was this the prophecy being the End Of The World that was near?
A strong voice shouted out, “I AM JESUS CHRIST YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR!”
Many of you thought that I was dead
But you have been thinking within your own understanding instead
I have seen from Heaven your hatred and evilness towards one another
I am about Love and peace in not being the Devil the other
The Hatred must stop
I am the Lord who sits high at the top
Your resist is a continual persist
The world needs to strongly pray
Overcoming through prayer is ok
I am the wonder
I provide the behold yonder
Hatred and evilness doesn’t have to stay this way
I am the Lord and I have the complete say
You will not continue to have your way
There is a price when it comes to sin
Praying is how blessings will begin
I am not a fairytale
Read your bible and you will understand the trail
Being a Christian Believer means being Heaven among
Christ is the number one
I am merciful, but grow tire in the world’s wickedness
My Faith warriors offer praise and they are my witness
Change from your evil ways
You should start while you got the chance today
Days are getting shorter and shorter
Tomorrow could very well be today.

THERE WAS ONCE A HILL
preservationman Sep 2021
Deep in height
There was even fright
It was careful steps
Maybe a stumble
But the thought was climb
Faith was kept in mind
I had to be determined that defeat wasn’t my virtue
My heart had to remain true
It became a commitment
But to some people, it was jealousy in resentment
Yet the hill was high
I whispered a prayer to thy
Climb I shall
Endurance with all
No time to stall
I am climbing

Hi everyone, I have arrived
No it’s not a jive
The sole at heart at strive
Sorry for my noisy shoes when depart and arrive
Now that is my shoes with their own stride
Every step I make, my shoes sounds as I am moving about
It’s a departure in begin and arrival at the end
Silence not being part of my shoes
I know a few people that are not enthused
To some people, they might become confused
Yet my noisy shoes being on the go
Perhaps, I should move slow
Sole to the heart of the shoe
Going forward, I will wear more silence heels
I know how the noise feels
But it is reality for real
No the heel I cannot peel
Attention being a attract
I am in the middle right in the smack
Some are probably thinking I should sit on a tack
But the term is, “I am have arrived and what comes is strive”.

READ AND IT SHALL BE FOUND
preservationman Sep 2014
Write and it will become an idea
Think and an opinion from your own fear
Words being defined in despair
A word of caution, but beware
Know the person who you are trying to persuade
But tell your mouth it needs to behave
The power to listen
Open eyes that truly glisten
Words never spoken
A promise should never be broken
Encouragement needed to help me along
Where do I fit in and are you sure I belong?
It was words of adornment all the time
The thoughts of many combined
Yet I couldn’t have done it alone
It was the Heavenly Father who let it be shown
Round and round we go and it became known
Words, words and more words
Sentences with a complete thought
Being a direction needing sought
The clouds with their own reminder
Utter not, but believe in, and focus on, and don’t be deceived in your own blend
Later on your understanding will come at the end.

The night being the sleep
A mind being clear and the mission to sleep deep
Dreams will come into sub-conscious
I guess the coming of tomorrow being anxious
But what will the next day be?
However, will a person wake up to see?
Now before a person even sleeps, let us pray
That’s what will carry one being the relay
It’s not a test being a competitive race
But it is confronting the moment with confidence face to face
Does it really mater if and when a person gets up?
It’s takes the movement of the body in action to move
But it is the ability in influence having one’s inspiration to prove
Yet a good night sleep that should be smooth
A wonder on one’s mind of tomorrow in what to expect
However, no one can see or predict the future
Tomorrow will be whatever tomorrow is
There is a realize
There is also an analyze
But there is no apologize
Remember your mind wants to go to sleep
Sometimes worries are on your mind and can’t sleep, and you find yourself counting sheep
But sleep tight and dream on
You have a big day tomorrow and it could be long.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT A BOOK?
preservationman Feb 2018
It’s the introduction from chapter after chapter into ever after
One’s mind being intrigued
The thirst to know more in proceed
The open book mind of the Reader in finding themselves
Words full of understanding and mystery
The hard times full of misery
The mission is holding one’s attention
But the term is really comprehension
A story dialog of who did what and expelling into the person unknown
But at some point the book will let it be known
It’s lessons learned having a shown
Could it be a jealous Rage?
Perhaps a moment of beyond in not acting ones age
The story of deal that went sour
Seconds going into hours
One life to live
One’s inner inspiration expelling in give
However, the book can offer emotion
Love with desire
Ancient Rome being an Empire
Time that simply expired
So what is it about a book?
See for yourself and take a look
Perhaps you will be on a journey unknown
An aftermath that will be full blown
However, that is for you to find out, and I won’t let it be known
Now that is your Homework assignment
However with that comes commitment
Discover the understanding within your own mind in a book
The stove is on now cook
But while you are cooking, the book might establish a crook.

I don’t know what I have done
I have with favor with the Lord among
I thought I had friends
The response was all pretend
The Lord enlightened me
He is moving me forward
A different direction onward
I can’t even emphasize
It’s wisdom that makes me wise
I have doing God’s will and I am not finished
I have encouraged many to my ability
But now I am considered the enemy
I am a sincere person
Yet friends had no meaning and a deleted pursue
I don’t have hate
I guess I was never an appreciate
There will be a day where people will wish they would hear my voice, but the connection of friendship would be no more
That day will be my end
I will be with glory
It will be my Heavenly Spiritual story
I request the world look into the mirror and see what image needs to be improved
God has a purpose for all of us on this Earth
If you intend to make it to Heaven it starts with a new enriched birth
Love in the heart being a start
I am at depart
I am a friend genuine
I do try to be kind
God rescued me
He makes me what I should be
This is something the world refuses to see
Perhaps the God in me is not to your liking

Cope comes with hope
Yesterday arrives having a tomorrow
Sorrow is a temporary morrow
The wonders of the soul
But let me assist you with a behold
In time of sorrow and struggles, our Savior should call
A divined prayed to Heaven that doesn’t stall
There is always a connection
But you must make the first step being participation
Remember Christ died for us
The world wonders what is the fuss?
It was struggles and prosecution our Lord went through
We as flesh must walk through trials and tribulations
These are to be
This is what the Savior wants us to see
A taken soul having a rising height
The Lord promised, there is Heaven you shall be
But keep praising and enterprising salvation
There is no occasion nor fashion
It’s the merciful Savior who is worthy to be honored and praised
Through the Lord’s goodness comes his amaze
But let me comfort your heart
When you feel alone, the Lord lets you know you are not alone
However, the Lord always lets it be known
Day after Day, year after year it will always be shown
Walk and talk with the Lord
Pray until
If you are an alcoholic and want to quit, God is the remedy and will help you overcome
If you do drugs, the same principles applies
But you must take the first step in giving god a try
Life is about everlasting
Now the Savior conquered his struggles
So shall we
But the Lord is the sustaining key
Death did not hole the Lord down
He is in Heaven looking down on Earth walking around
However, Death shall not hold us down either
We too as souls will know one another
We will be able to touch each other
Those that died prior, we will see and talk again
So love one you loss who died in Christ rejoice
Joy will bring happiness, gladness and inspiration
But before I go
This I want you all to know
Father I pray for each Poet
Please let them have understanding and wisdom
Continue to bless them with every given word and write

A Poet to be who was in bed thinking lying down
Eyes focused in the room looking all around
He wrote down some words
But the question within him how will he be heard
A Poetry Festival was coming to his town
A new approach that had been found
The Poet prepared some of his writings to the test
He wanted to make sure they were his very best
It will be poetry to read having inspiration to proceed
Oh the thought in deed
The Poet became an actual Poet
No longer being a Poet to be
The audience witnessed themselves in applause and they did see
The Poet explained to the audience he never gave any thought in being a Poet
It was something in the ceiling that gave him the idea
As you can see he did preserver
But I encourage anyone with a desire to write
Unlock your mind with fear and don’t be uptight
Take your time and watch as words accelerate
Writing is never too late
Let your mind tell you what to say
Thinking in the moment is certainly ok
Don’t hesitate in write, just expel in write
Before you know it, you will find you were meant to be a Poet
It was just having courage to show it
A Poet I am and shall be
Now I am making writing my life for all to see.

PERILS OF SHIRLEY SMITH

As the Piano sets the scene in the background
You will have to imagine being the sound
Our Drama has begun
Shirley is sitting in the living room reading a Thriller book
In fact, it made her shook
Suddenly there was a knock at the door
At first Shirley thought, should I just ignore?
Shirley was so into the book, she wanted no interruptions
But then at that moment decided to answer the door
When Shirley opened the door, she was confronted face to face with a Tall Attractive Man dressed in all black including sporting a black cap
Suddenly without warning, the Tall man pulled out a knife
Shirley immediately screamed
She definitely needed help quick
Her Neighbors heard the commotion and summoned for the Police
Shirley was in a peril and thriller beyond any book
Just when the tall man was going to attack, the Police arrived in time and saved Shirley’s life
Mysterious and Curious being a thought
But a Thriller beyond any current book Shirley was reading
Death wasn’t written in the plan
This wasn’t even at the Tall Man’s command
A peril that became a resistance
The swift movement of the Police was an instance
So a peril today was actually a turnaround being the other way.

You had Debates with Trump face to face
The American people voted Change
The continued Trump agenda being insane
Biden stepped up to the plate
You spoke on America’s fate
You said I want to be your next President before it is too late
America’s voice rang out loud and clear
Another day of Trump put America on fear
How can we get Trump out?
It took votes in making choice come about
America has been instituted in separation
Now that is un-American with no appreciation
Biden platform, “You want to bring togetherness back”
Embrace all Nationalities into unity
Tense moment as the Election went along
Wait until wait
Voters had no idea of how the Election would turn out
Just then days after, the sunrise shined
A new day of a new Tomorrow
President Elect Joe Biden and Vice President Elect, Kamala Harris were the winners
City after City cheers into the multitude of shouts
Singing and Dancing as Cities were moving about
Change came at the right time
The world prayed
It was the relay to Heaven
Proud and honored to say

93 FROM A 100
preservationman Apr 2020
Longevity, the way life is awarded in a blessing
It’s wisdom that contributes to the living lesson
So what 93 so special?
Let’s look at the distinction in read and see
There were two people that were my personal heroes, Donald Coffin and Natalie Alston, who were both 93 and died
They left me the inspiration to stride
The understanding that both provided
Some people say to me, play that number 93 in the lottery
But my thoughts are on maybe and possibly
However, nothing is really guaranteed
93 is not an easy number to reach in life, it is a gift
It is eternity blessings stored
But accounts all from the Lord
So the lottery, don’t be so sure
Yet 93 is a number that no one would ignore
93 for me is encouragement
The legacy of wisdom feeling like nourishment
Live out the full creed until done
But living to be 93 at least I would be still among
Not everyone can live to even reach 93
It is a blessing to see
93 maybe only number
But it is a high digit close to a 100
Live on and think confident
Praying on and be blessed
Avoid stress and be youthful
But the two deceased individuals lived their life out being wonderful
Again, longevity is not easy to reach
But a day by moment being a lesson like a Bible scripture feeling like a sermon preach

FAITH

Doubting not an option
Praying being the ultimate alternative
Yet you must keep your salvation active
The test of the savior to see if you will hold on too faith
Again faith in believe and assurance to be relieved
The honor and glory in your daily prayers
God knows exactly how much you can bare
Man has no power that can compare
It’s all about the heavenly faith
Your eyes to the Heavens
Remember God really does care
But the Devil is whom you need to be aware
The Devil wants to crush your faith
But with Faith step your foot and stomp the Devil out
Then shout with praise and now you know what I am talking about
The Lord has given you an oath, “Assurance you can believe in”
Don’t think of then nor when
Faith is ongoing like endurance in just begin
But God’s power will carry you until the very end.

Mountains high and valleys low
A voice that was strong
A man determined in bringing us together where we belong
The man being Dr. Martin Luther King
Influence was his thing
Injustice was nothing more than a sting
Dr. King’s speeches being his teachings
While many were stuck in darkness
It was Dr. King who shed the spotlight
But Dr. King provided the beacon with might
He knew the injustice could no longer prevail
But that was the theory being Dr. King’s trail
One’s race shouldn’t be a separation
Mockery has no place
A delete being an erase
Washington, DC saw that new day
Multitudes from all over the U.S. nation
This was an occasion to break the chains and be free
Dr. King opened America’s and the world’s eyes
Yet this educated Washington, DC in needing to be wise
Voice of virtue
It was a mission in bonding hand in hand
The ashes began to clear
It was time to step out and have no fear
A world having an understanding

Heads held high out of sorrow
Vintage becoming our daily heritage
It’s an honor to know about Dr. Martin Luther King being a privilege
But this doesn’t take away of all others who were involved
This was definitely a problem that needed to be resolved

Freedom is hour by hour

Then John Benjamin was also single and moved into Group 2 in the same year

Somewhere a love affair was going to become a moment by moment with romance getting a very little chance
It’s love that was going to build and grow

Mary Lister was a Manager at a Large Investment Banker Corporation
Now John Benjamin was a CPA Accountant
So they both were going over assets being what their dating relationship in portfolio would be
It was all about accessing
But Mary and John seemed to be intrigued with each other
It became not a date, but when into another date
Mary Lister made sure she wasn’t going to be late
Surprises into the main event
But something surprising at Rochdale that Mary Lister didn’t anticipate and had no expect, it was a proposal in the Big Mall in front of moving shoppers, and of course she accepted the hand of marriage of John Benjamin
So a year later, Mary Lister and John Benjamin became Man and Wife
It all happened through the Rochdale vision of possibilities
Yet one wonders what reaction to the proposal from John Benjamin if Mary Lister had of said No
I won’t even wait for an answer

I am the sun that goes down, and rises up every given day
It’s the closing of the previous that goes astray

It’s like a cremation from an urn
But just don’t get too close
You could go blind to most
Now clouds will roll in from time to time
It’s weather changes that block me out

I was shining from the Earth’s very beginning
I have more beaming shades than any home run of a baseball inning
I am not history
However, Scientist thinks I am a mystery

I bring joy when I shine because people can enjoy the outdoors
My warm rays one can never ignore

It goes back to a Poetry book
There was no Poet to take a look
The sentences and words collaborated together
The Poet became no other

They felt they were the purpose and meaning
What do you think a Poet would think about that?
The Poet would say they are no longer needed
It wouldn’t matter because the words and sentences have their own concept
The sentences and words have their own amaze
The Poet always gets the praise
Poet’s minds are the ideas
The sentences and words felt left out
The door is always open for them to enter
The sentences and words made their point

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.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK?
preservationman Apr 2018
The book introduced a time to realize
One’s life at some point they should analyze
But to many Motivators, this is no surprise
The book emphasizes cope
Where there is cope, there is also inspiration of hope
There is anticipation in waiting and seeing
Assurance has its own term with the meaning in what it should be
It’s one’s look into what they should expect
Hope in establishing words in the four letters, “HELP, OPTION, PRINCIPLE AND EXCEL”
Hope has words within that give’s one the possibilities into direction
Consider the above sentence alone a lesson
Now those four words in hope are worth a mention
Let’s start with ‘HELP”
This I call the advice mode
Knowing that one is in devastation
But one also doesn’t want to end in destruction
Looking for answers having hope
Help in knowing what one needs
The steps in direction in how to proceed
Now let’s weigh in “OPTION”
What alternative’s does one have?
Will these alternatives be vital to one’s objectives?
The alternatives can be Direct Counseling, Education, Personal Self-Awareness and Faith
We now have reached “PRINCIPLES”
Having a purpose and reasoning from within
One controls the census of one’s decisions
It involves one’s thought being their own equation
Decisions and thoughts that add up
We are finally at “EXCEL”
Now that is self-explanatory
Having inspiration in movement to succeed
Later followed by continuation to proceed
But one must have hope throughout
This I have been talking about
Let me assurance you that there is hope
This is a requirement to believe
Knowing you have hope becomes a relieve
But because of Faith, this is the hope you will receive
Hope should be ongoing throughout daily life on days end
This is where the belief begins
But thank the book where hope was introduced
Always remember, hope is always for your good use.

Think on what our Afro-American Pioneers accomplished and they are the tip
Grasp concepts where no one will dare
But you are you beyond compare
Challenge your own abilities
You will discover your own reality
Stand solid on your own ideas
But always think preserver
You are the yes and no
But pause analyzing although
Black History Month is too encourage all Afro-American Brothers and Sisters in what our forefathers can accomplish so shall we
My abilities tell me to reach
Aim for the horizon
Destiny my own journey
My Brothers and Sisters encourage me to continue move and be on the go
See me move and feel my flow
But odds say stand still
However, I can’t as it’s God’s will
God guided me to move and he is the bill
I say to all Reach, Reach, Reach Until you can no longer Reach any more
The key is the Reach in effort
As you are enriched in Faith
Time maybe ticking, but continue to reach until finished
Commitment and responsibility are all but remainders
You have the power to “REACH.

HOMEWARD BOUND
preservationman Feb 2016
Not a town or city
Not a place of pity
Not a place you can travel by car, train or bus
An eternal home
A place of rejoicing that I was meant to roam
I hear echoes of Angels singing in the distance
It’s Heavens home I am talking about

Time has swiftly counted on
I have been summoned and Heaven is where I belong
I will be leaving this Earth
A place that was already reserved during my birth
Only true believers being chosen get this honor
Tears of joy run down my face
Oh Heaven such an interesting place
My name is still on the list and not erased

I am a weary old man
My Grandmother said before she died, I want to take you with me, but it’s not your time then she said, she will be waiting
Wait no more
I am ready for sure
The Lord has spoken and I have achieved the Heavenly score
My praises grew louder
I couldn’t be anymore prouder

Heaven seemed far off through the years
But Heaven taught me I would preserver
My heart and soul is thankful
The message I would leave, keep believing, and hope being our king
But just one more thing, come together and help one another and don’t wait for the other
My white robe is on, and I am ready for the journey
This is not goodbye, but until we meet again
This is not the end
My eternity in my soul being lifted up, and to the Earth below in spirit of behold.

I don’t have any decent clothes to wear
This I swear
I would love to go to a very Sophisticated Party Affair
Imagine me meeting my own princess being an enchanted night
What am I saying?
What Princess is going to even give me a look being a mire Laborer?
My Clothes aren’t exactly clean
But as you can imagine I am should you know what I mean
Suddenly a Wizard appeared and stated, “So you want to go to the sophisticated party affair”?
Being a Wizard, I can make that happen
So what does Princedefella want to wear?
I want an expensive looking suit that stands out
I want all the guest too notice me as I move about
A Suit it will be
Immediately appeared was a Black Suit with Silver Sequence running across the Suit jacket
PrincedeFella looked into the mirror, and was satisfied with what he saw
It was total “Galore”
But the Wizard passed some good advice as Midnight will strike and your clothes will return back to where they were
The Party a waits
The Wizard said, “You can’t just walk into the party without having an elegant ride”
Here is your Long Hummer Limousine
Now you are all set in elegance Mr. Clean
Enjoy the party, but remember Midnight
Well at the party when PrincedeFella entered the party all eyes were on him
The Princess even caught the attention in Princedefella in let’s dance
The Princess and Princedefella were dancing close
Suddenly when they kissed, midnight striked
Princedefella dashed out swiftly
Upon reaching outside everything turned back
The only trace was Princedefella’s tie
The Princess ran behind, but later cried
She was determined to find Princedefella
The Princess searched one entire town, and it was the tenth man that she knew was Princedefella, and it was an enchanted day, and a celebration of living happily ever after.

Reality is going to be a mission to kick in
Many doubted that I would be a success
Yet I had own doubts being my confess
Thinking negative about myself most of the time
Then there was complaining and crying all combined
Negative words produced an achieving wonder
But after all, it comes from yonder
One must grow in order to know
Understanding with knowledge being its own platform show
Analyze who whose actually the thinker and organizer
This is what made me wiser
Some people were waiting for me to fall
But through understanding, I stood tall
I didn’t even stall
I proved to myself I could achieve it
Wonders with puzzled people’s faces
But people’s criticism was deleted like the unbelieving blackboard minds like an eraser
Like a Chase Bank Commercial, I ran into success face to face
Not one can change that but achieve it
One can only have doubt if they are uncertain
People thought I should stop, but for me, it was going to be a continuation
Because of understanding of myself, I prepared for any situation
Yet, there was anger of one being a mention
Yet I am destined to move on
But we all to get along
I now know in life where I belong
But for now I say, “So Long”.

Guided daily by the Lord

Unassured of herself
Marked me for Death

Endurance gave me strength
Aim became a determined reach

THE HEAT IN THE NIGHT

The ***** ever so tender
Sultry of the summer heat
Organisms intense
Sweat pouring all through the bed sheets
Love on my mind
The Moon bringing on the stronger mood
Needing the caress to soothe
Oh I am feeling enthused
I am on the prowl
My heat is turned up
The interlude is nothing to ignore
Reaching new heights in love to explore
The temperature is high in my bedroom
Humidity of summer is all through the air
But the height of desire being my total fulfillment
Love being a satisfied guarantee
My motion in putting out my fire
It’s all desire
Body to body touch
I am beginning to cool down
Intense is not past tense
Epilogue was a sequence
Sultry being my summer heat night well spent.

LOWDOWN ON MY HOEDOWN
preservationman Oct 2021
Drink Up
I am a true Texan
Came from a small Texas Town
Travelling on a Stage Coach kicking up dust
I came to a town called “REFRESHING GULCH”
That town has the right name
But I am just being lame
Those folks drink Sun Up to Sundown
Now I don’t drink along those lines
But then again, have I truly lost my mind
However, all I can remember I was knocked out drunk
It happened in the Pleasure Saloon
I had arrived on that Stage Coach at noon
What a way to begin a journey
By the way, my name is Ernie
Somehow, I was so drunk, I was put into a hotel room in town
It was called “SETTLE YOURSELF”
I woke up and found myself in nothing but my underwear
Talk about an embarrassing moment
Barely holding steady
I have a hangover the size of Wyoming
There was a knock at the door, and it was the Sheriff Hummer, checking up on me
I asked the Sheriff, “How did I get into this room?”
He said he carried me
All I can remember is seeing the Can Can Girls as they showed dance in can
I just kept drinking as I could into when with no end
That’s where everything turned black
I don’t remember anything else other than that
However, I do remember a lady name JOSIE
Beautiful Gal
But she disappeared
Now I want a smoke
But all I am thinking of right now is GUNSMOKE
I am waiting for Marshall Dillion to step in
But all I want to do is for my drinking to come to an end
Now I can’t walk through Refreshing Gulch dressed like this
I am here in my underwear
It’s all my thought of beware
I am not going to let the truth be told
But I have already told the story so no need for me to put on hold
This is no time to be bold
So much for drinking
What was I thinking?
The Moon was high and all I was thinking I
This is what I get
Now it is all regret
Perhaps I should gamble and bet in the downstairs Saloon
The sun can be very high at moon
Just my luck, I could be in the last round up
It would become my mock
So much for Texas
As Texan’s say, “I Fixin to Leave”
What time is the next Stage Coach
So long folks
Please no jokes

Hurricane Irma hit numerous Caribbean islands, and left devastation in its path
But the storm is far was over yet
The storm still packs strength and worse as it gets
Florida braces for a windy show down
Citizens had been prior to evacuate from their town
The question of return when everything settles down
Many lives were loss on the Caribbean tuft
Personal valuables have no worth
My CO-Worker at work told me his parents are nowhere to be found
A sudden silence came over me being no sound
I was on my knees being praying bound
After it was a moment of wait
Many minds being the thought of fate
I hope and pray it wasn’t too late
Suddenly, good news from the shores
The CO-Workers parents were found alive
Prayer and more prayer
Praise into glory
Hallelujah confirming the end of the happy story.

MEMOIR OF MISS BUTTERWORTH
preservationman Jul 2021
Her story wasn’t always so sweet
Slippery in fact
Listen as Miss Butterworth traces back
It was at the Oak View Plantation
It wasn’t a place full of fascination
The City and State was Clever, Alabama
Her life was full of struggles
Miss Butterworth was often beaten morning, noon and night
Her whole life was life with unquestionable plight
Miss Butterworth wanted to see freedom as her guiding light
That night, Miss Butterworth made her escape
Vast rivers surrounded the Plantation all over
When it rained she found cover
But her determination to be free rang high
Here’s why
Miss Butterworth often talked to other slaves of Freedom ways in the East
That was her vision in encouragement at least
Miss Butterworth thought back that all she could think about running through her mind was, “I had to be free”
She often heard Dogs with Slave Masters tracking her paths
She ran and ran until she was out of breath
Miss Butterworth maneuvered through the many rivers undetected
That was how the plantation dogs loss her scent
Miss Butterworth was now her own human body in represent
She knew within her heart, she had a purpose and reason to live
Slavery was only a form of suppression
But that plantation taught her a valuable lesson
“You must be determined enough and move with reaction in stating enough was enough being victorious
Miss Butterworth made it East to New Jersey
Her eyes were wide opened to a new beginning, and a chance to excel
Miss Butterworth immediately fell to her knees and prayed to the Almighty Heavenly God
Through his mercy and blessings, he got her through
She was not on Freedom Road
Now you know the story being told
Miss Butterworth’s name is famous on many Syrup bottles being her threshold
Freedom now and forever

I think on the strives our Black Ancestors made
It was a struggle to get done
Yet maneuvering and proving made their name among
Names that come to mind such as George Washington Carver, Medgar Wiley Evers, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jesse Owens, Joe Black, Jackie Robinson and the list goes on and on
So what makes their specific Black Achievers great?
It was their focus on achievement and continuing no matter what
It was their understanding
Their purpose being their own contribution
So have names on educational institutions for example, MEDGAR EVERS, CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE
I am proud to say, I am the product of CUNY Medgar Evers College embracing in the Medgar Evers Legacy
I was honored too be taught at CUNY Medgar Evers College by Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widow of MALCOLM X
I was inspired in her teachings and values
So Black History had and continues to be an impact on me
“To be a success, you must be taught in wisdom associating from the best”
That is my honest and true confess
But these say what is really in my heart
“Struggles are only preparations being what is expected in life. It comes with understanding in what knowledge provides. It comes with true meaning in believing, but with observation in listening”.

A Homeless Man who wanted to die
It was suicide he was going to try
Immediately, he stepped over the bridge edge in attempt to jump
Suddenly, pause
Let’s retract like a rewind video tape
Why should this Homeless Man pursue suicide?
He doesn’t have to stay Homeless
He shouldn’t feel priceless
He also shouldn’t feel useless and down in pitiless
Let us pray for the Homeless Man to the Father above
A Homeless Man is in despair
But you Heavenly Father are beyond compare
Show the Homeless Man the way
This I pray
It was the start of blessings upon blessings that came
Miraculous recovery being the aim
The Homeless Man was able to clean himself up
He managed to get a job and an apartment
He always dreamed of going to College, and he got that opportunity
The thought of suicide was no more

It wasn’t a moment for a Camel Smoke
It’s a play, and words that were spoke
The trainer puts a Red Cloth over the Camel before the play begins
Things are about to change and listen to the rearrange
The Camel throws the Red Cloth off
The trainer attempts to put back on
Once again, the Camel throws the Red Cloth off again
The trainer forever tries to put the Red Cloth on, but the Camel throws the Red Cloth off again and again
Finally, the trainer got a reminder from the Camel, didn’t I show you I didn’t want that Red Cloth on me, and the Camel takes his back Leg and hits the trainer in the head
The Camel’s mind had other things in mine instead
Suddenly without warning, the Camel is full of Rage and went bersek
The Camel is charging at the audience out of control
Can anybody stop him?
Thereafter, the camel suddenly looks directly at the Doll Baby Jesus
A transformation turnaround begins
The Camel immediately bows as if it was commanded
The Camel proceeded to kneel before the Doll Baby Jesus, and wouldn’t move
There was a soothe and a miracle to prove
There was a certain calmness and peace
It was as if the Doll Baby Jesus encouraged in Spirit and truth

There is a train coming for President Jimmy Carter
On his way home to the Kingdom of Heaven
While living, President Carter’s life was always on the move
His heart and generosity to the American people President carter proved
A true Humanitarian
His spoken words being encouragement
Being nourishment for the needy
Faith being his key factor his entire life
I looked to President Carter being like a father
I felt like a son listening to his wisdom he shared
Even though we never met, I did witness him always on the TV
Negativity was never part of him
Four years after, President Carter was running for President again,
and I had taken a Broadcast Journalism course at CUNY Hunter College
My class had the opportunity to be engaged on BILL BOGGS TALK SHOW
In 1980 when President Carter and President Reagan were running for the Presidency on FOX 5
It was a political year that year
Unfortunately, President Reagan won the White House in 1980
President Carter didn’t see it as defeat, but saw it as an opportunity to be
Involved with the people and be involved various social functions
Humble man and upright
He gave all for mankind
Pure genuine
President Carter had a determination spirit
For that he gets 100 percent merit
President Carter was devoted to his wife in love
Romantic and long lasting
Heaven’s open hands welcome
America saddened
Everlasting assurance
President Carter is looking down on all of us saying, “Head Up and Look Up”
He had a purpose and so do we
My hero

SUCKED INTO THE BOOK PAGES
preservationman Jan 2020
A past in time
Keep that in mine
Imagine literally being ****** into a book and becoming part of the pages
It all happens into one book
All one has to do open the book and take a look
It was a Detective story
It was intriguing in fun with all its glory
Yet pages upon pages a story for all ages
It was the likes of **** Tracy and all kinds of gangsters you would name that you probably read in comic books
But instead of reading about it, the reader is confronted within the pages of dialog in reality
Guns are being fired
**** Tracy is called on the scene
You are up close and personal with **** Tracy investigating
The idea is too show justice in making these Gangsters come clean
The reader is all part of the action
You see clues that are little or an inch of faction
It’s like a movie scene inside the Detective book
The thought of guns and bullets would make anyone feel shook
Again, it is all happening inside the book
The Reader finds themselves surrounded in the 1850’s in how fighting crime or being part of a crime was a way of survival in live or die
Minutes having no estimate
**** Tracy’s mission in getting these Gangster’s to serve time won’t be easy
It certainly isn’t cheesy
But there is a break in crime
Don’t give me any nickel nor dime
The reader’s become the witnesses
But it is best to say, ‘PRIME TARGETS’
**** Tracy and the Gangster’s all have guns
The reader has no weapons and is lucky to still be alive among
But **** Tracy has everything under control
These Gangsters are acting on bold
So what you have read before about Gangster’s has given you up close and personal truth in allowances
It was hard to believe in your youth
But that is the truth
All it took was being ****** into a Detective book
Being selective and reflective being all it took
You are **** Tracy’s wonder
Your journey was far into yonder
You are now out of the book
You now think and feel shook
Don’t open another book

BURGER TOO GO

From New York City started my cross country ride
Scheduled Ground Transportation that only the Greyhound Bus can provide
My destination was Los Angeles on the West Coast
I was questioned why the bus by most?
I didn’t answer because I didn’t want to boost
But I knew I was definitely travelling to the West Coast
So my journey continued on
This was a vacation in where I would belong
Scenery through the countryside and towns
Now in between Major Cities could be found
All these happenings while I was reclining seat settling down
We were now arriving in another town
We arrived at a place called Evanston, Wyoming at the Starlight Diner
This was our meal stop
I ordered from the Menu that was sitting on top
But when told the Owner/Cook in what I wanted to eat, he stated, “I am all out of Food”
I was very hungry, and my mouth even drooled
The Owner/Cook replied, “Greyhound cleaned me out”
How many Greyhound’s passed through was my shout?
But I certainly wasn’t going to make this a bout
There was a fly around, and the Owner/Cook used a Fly swatter stick, which killed the insect
That swatter had that effect
Meanwhile, the only food that was left was a Burger, but surprised the Diner still had a bun
It was better than nothing being next to none
However, I won’t complain because at least I ate
That Greyhound Bus arrived at my final destination two days later On-time and not late
This was a vacation that had no hesitate.
