Dancing by the river banks
A look out in giving thanks
Skies wise
Heart of Gold

A Banjo can live on through generations
Sensation after sensation
Years into miles

AS HISTORY SAYS
preservationman Feb 2022
Everything is not always in history books
Visual artifacts adding to the history look
Reflecting back
Dates and Description giving facts
The past circulating into tomorrow
Sorrows and struggles
The outcome of morrow
A concept being theory
The end of the uncertain mystery
History holding strong on words
Echoes of being heard
Utterance with tolerance
Challenge mustering endurance
The confirmed assurance
The aftermath of influence.

BREAKABLE GLASS
preservationman May 2021
One drop becomes a break
When it gets personal it becomes hate
Standards is what the heart creates
Plastic is only a assimilate
The glass being broken promises
Honesty that was always false
Particular setting the course
Glass cracks nothing but lies
But don’t get hypothesized by looking into the eyes
Its phoney hopes and dreams
People are not what they seem
Shattered emotions
Broken glass connected with broken spirit
It is called second class
Broken for sure with an abode
Glass pieces can’t be fixed
The heart can’t do a mend
It’s a clean sweep
The broken separation is what the heart will keep
Breakable glass cut deep

Larry King’s name spans like an Enterprise
His viewpoints were all for us to realize
Radio and TV and Larry King was the truth
Searching for what makes sense or analyst
I would watch Larry King as if he was giving me a personal understanding in lesson being his own wisdom
He shares that thought in the Heavenly Kingdom
Larry King’s talent will always have recognition
He voice being precise
He gave the world never ending advice
Larry King set the tone
But it was words becoming full blown
Larry King was the man for words to live by
His determination was always give a try
His virtue was be true to yourself and others
Farewell to a Media Icon
Larry King flew away on Heaven’s wings
But he leaves his legacy being the thing
Embrace me close
I am in Heaven and have a reason to boast
My life spans Coast to Coast
Larry King’s encouraging words for us would be, “Stand together and listen to one another, and gather your thoughts, and become one under one accord”
I am honored to be with the Lord
Thanks for taking us on your Radio and TV journey
You travelled far, but have gone to a better place
Your soul is in our hearts being your trace
Memorable never forgotten

SHATTERPROOF
preservationman Jul 2021
You thought you broke my heart
But it is unbreakable
It’s because I am prayed up being stable
You were trying to make me relish in pity
Well not on any day in any city
I am a thoroughbred being unchangeable
Your words had no power
You talked hour after hour
You still lacked power
Now you paused being your own sour
Excuses having no sense
I am shatterproof worth more than cents
You on the other hand is feeling tense
I have been granted the Heavenly sense
My spirit is too strong and you can’t defeat me
I am shatterproof
You were trying to subtract, but I got multitudes in add
Later came divide, and you got mad
Now you wonder and feel sad
That makes me glad
I was built being shatterproof

MOTHER WHY
preservationman Oct 2023
Mother why?
You abused me with your mouth
Didn’t you realize what would come out
You said you never wanted me
That was love I didn’t see
You stated you would have had an abortion on it
That tells me I wasn’t fit to live
You had no love to give
I used to cry many days and nights
My cries were hope in that you would change
There was no rearrange
No appreciation whatsoever
You are at a distance
You say Mother
I was raised by another
My Grandparents
They gave me the love and nurture
Kodak moment in my mind and heart
Love being something you never could
Didn’t even bother to try
You saw me as an ugly duckling
An outcast with no purpose
Your reasoning unsure
I became Heaven’s survival see
You smoked while carrying me
Death was on your mind
I am no longer bitter
You thought of me as litter
My Grandparents are proud in the person I became
All I can say it is a shame
Why couldn’t you feel the same?
Totally lame
My Grandparents will always look down on me from Heaven
They will always say, “We raised you well”
I have no love for you Mother
Only respect
Aftermath wanted to beat me down
But I am still around
You can’t have my heart
Moved on with no regret
You had that much effect
I am mature and on my own
This is how I felt
My hurt
My story
Inspired blessings through glory

A WISH UPON MANY STARS

Stars that shine bright
Enlighten me with inspiration during the night
I wish upon numerous starts
Let my dreams take me far
Away with doubt
Instill hope in what I am talking about
Educate my mind and let me see the wonders
I discoveries that happen yonder
Let my dreams actually come true
Yet let me be totally thankful through
Your shine being my guide
It’s your brightness that you provide
You stand out and don’t hide
At times, clouds hide your shine
It’s Heaven’s environment combined
You are shown throughout the world
Where there are stars come suppose
When it comes to people we are those
It’s a sky look up in think
I hope my wish will come dream
A stars dream is like a moving soothing stream
One twinkle leads to a dazzle
Stars bright encourage me tonight.

Honor and courage is what they preserver
Words can’t express thank you enough
Some people just talk, but this is no bluff

So applause is in that order

But don’t forget about your own health
I pray for you on that aspect
Our lives are appreciated in your hands
I thank God for being part of the caravan
Heart to heart

Thank you for your honor and dignity in commitment being your choice.

When one thinks on having nothing

When you think the Lord doesn’t see what you are going through
Surprise arises with precise

This is Trucker 19
The weather is just fine
A Hound Bus has just passed
That Hound Bus has a schedule and is moving fast
But Trucker 19 is moving on just cruise
In no rush, but am enthused
I may be driving but I am certainly not confused
Yeah, I have a schedule myself
But I am ON-TIME
I am driving on Interstate 78
On that route, no one is really late
That is something all drivers can appreciate
It’s a new day and I am still alive
In about 4 hours is when my destination I shall arrive
Another Hound Bus just passed by
The Hound Bust just signaled, and changed lanes
But it’s just another day as a Trucker driving endless miles
Thinking throughout while
This is Trucker 19
Got all my load of freight combined
After this run, I will head to the bar for a little wine
I am on schedule mode

YES I AM BLACK
preservationman Oct 2018
Yes, I was born black
But I have a heritage and my honor is my privilege
Yet because I am Black, people think I am suppose to lack
It is just plain fact
But let me think back
My Roots there were struggles
Our lives beaten until we bleed
Yet Freedom was our only fled
Music and rhythm being in our blood
We danced in praise
During slavery it became the Slave Masters amaze
It was a blessing looking to in Heaven being a crave
Yet, Historians think of us Blacks in being a phase
But the name Black went to Afro-American
But Black comes in many shades as well
So I am happy to tell
You won’t find any oh well
Legacies are within me
Understanding being everything it should be
My soul is truly complete
There is no room for deceit
As a Black Man, I do suffer
I still feel I must take cover
My dream for Freedom is not yet over
My tears are my daily cries
But a voice always says, “Stand Up and Rise”
You have nothing to apologize
You are black because you have goodness
I have shown you the way
Being Black is only a color
It becomes the background of who you are supposed to be
Take pride
You are noticed
Legacies are your standpoint throughout
Let dignity and pride be your shout
You are Black because your mission is to fulfill
But even still
Tell the world you are Black being bold and beautiful
Black to stand and having wisdom within.

Love on the mind
There was desire with no turn down
Temperature was rising beyond

I wanted to just let go
But knew I had to take it nice and slow

Sweat was pouring down my body
The summer heat couldn’t control my feelings full of emotions
My gears had shifted
Female eyes and a man’s body

Taking a Moment to Pause
Reaction from a Cause

You never know how words will make the reader react

Words one never knew
Poetry gives your mind something to think to do
Pursue
Now that you know have a seat
You never knew Poetry could be so neat
Write your inner Poetry vibe
Inspire coming from within being your strive
Your words start today
So you don’t know what to say?
Just let your mind extend taking you far away
You are more of a Poet then you think
Capture it in written ink
Turn your words like before into after
That’s the Poet’s thought
Words and sentences are encouraging you in ought
It’s not a dream nor illusion
Write into Write like you are in fight

Winds blow with an although
Are you prepared for what the winds will continue to blow?
Windy advance with the feel here and there while holding on to your hat or cap
It’s plain facts
Coldness that is brisk
Individuals who can’t resist
We are in the Fall Season
It is within reason
The Good Lord is in control
Adjust in clothing and take hold
November winds will continue to blow
November is preparing us all for what December will be
Anticipation to see
The winds always have their say
It’s always been that way
You probably don’t want to think ok
Go with the flow

END OF TOMORROW
preservationman Jan 2018
The thought of the Earth being no more
It’s thinking for sure
It’s anybody’s guess
But it doesn’t come as a request
It’s a wonder I reckon
The Bible saw ahead
But the people of Earth are on ignorance instead
Nuclear does destroy
We are human and not toys
Fire would burn like the city of Ancient Troy
Life as we know it could be nothing more than a life that was
A past having no future
No image in the picture
Yet the end comprising on perhaps in a new begin
The idea being when
A reminder that Heaven is the can
We have one last chance to prepare
But there is a beware
Your every movement and thought is being carefully watched
This is the time to believe and accept
It’s praying continuous but one must adapt
The end is nearer than you think
It’s coming faster than any wink
End equals when
Destruction being a possibility of the end.

It all started with World Wars
Drafts for men were expelled
Some men who didn’t want had to compel
But Highway buses had to continue to operate
Bus travel is how passengers associate
Men were caught in war details
Bus operations couldn’t just fail
How would highway buses still operate being dominated by men?
Women applied for the task
They were hired in numbers fast
Women knew they had what it took to drive a bus
The country was going into war and there was no fuss
Some women drove trucks
Driving a bus would no problem
It was a matter of putting on the bus uniform
Operating on schedules being the norm
Praise the women who had the courage to pursue the highway bus driving career
Today, women are driving in the Greyhound preserver
The chance to pursue

The residents who live there applaud in appreciation
But on this particular day something was wrong
This is the moment where one must be strong
There were no people nor trains

Where did all the people go?
No one really knows

THE CONCEALED DREAM
preservationman Jan 2019
I have a dream
That very statement that Dr. Martin Luther King made which he affirmed
It was a vision Dr. King saw
Civil Rights certainly was nothing to ignore
Yet since Dr. King has passed away
His philosophy seemed to have gone astray
Dr. King’s dream has turned to a nightmare
Man wants Hope and Inspiration to disappear
Man thinks they are the answer
But the true answer is Jesus Christ
Dr. Kong showed the world, your rights are your grounds to stand
Its written constitution throughout the land

Race and Creed are values
It’s not a curse in what Man believes
But also don’t be taken in by deceive
It’s a matter of Man’s inner intrigue
But Rights and Freedom is how all Races are too proceed
Dr. King’s vision has become written legacy
Hope and inspiration we should all keep in our hearts
Come together and unite
No such word of probably in “Might”
United is unification in what multitudes can accomplish
The world is not ordinary
In fact it is contrary
Dreams can be seen
But there must be an understanding in what they mean
Dr. King was a forward man
A leader who marched on
Yet the battle is unfinished and not won
We as the multitudes cannot sit back continue to be outdone
Dr. King wants us to continue the fight
This is our sunrise being our new day of light
Negative people continue to talk but be unsure
Those people we need to absolutely ignore
We are a nation
Goodness and Quality is our appreciation
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Justice and Equality to all
This is the dream that Dr. King saw
What was a reflection is our message on continuation
Tomorrow might seem close yet far
It’s easy to say yes or no
But remember, assumption is not a theory
Understanding is no mystery
Accomplishment is an effort
A dream is a preparation to achieve
Stay focused
Observe as you go along
Races upon Races, this is a nation where all belong
God saw it so why can’t we
Dignity is an honor
Virtual is a reality.

It was like a wake up call

General Washington I would ask, the Troops are all cold from the winter winds
The Troops population is spreading thin
They are dying and Thirsty
This battle could be very long
I wonder if the Troops even belong
Diseases and struggles are taking their toll
The ammunition just won’t be together whole
I beg to you General, this might be a battle we just can’t win
This could very well be the Troops end
I cry to you in despair
The Troops are in the woods in the middle of nowhere
Darkness comes, and the snow blinds like hard ice
My advice General Washington is to think twice
Death surrounds at a moment’s notice
Can you and will you?
This is not a wish
The winds are in control
We have no threshold to take hold
We can only wait until winter passes
Let us pray and fast

The book is an understanding to discover
But for an explanation, let’s take a look
Within the book, it’s pages upon words
But are you really taking in the sentences
The book is actually testing your comprehension
But there is a revelation
It’s more than appreciation
It’s a matter in applying your own observation
A book is giving you the who, what and where
The thought involves the destination of where the place is
The who is the person illustrating
What being the person relating in what they were doing
It’s almost like a puzzle and you organize the squares
Think on a book being like your advisor
The words and sentences may one wiser
It doesn’t matter if the book is a novel, Illustrator or educational tool, the Author wants you to see and feel the excitement from within
That means from beginning to end
Words that enrich
Your mind in understanding
Your thoughts in sustaining
Your dreams in fulfilling
Now pick-up that book as it is waiting.

Man says you need a College Degree to excel
Heaven has its own tell
Heaven incorporates a decree in divine understanding
Yet praying in Faith is what is outstanding
However, it is throughout sustaining
A degree is only a piece of Cardboard
It can be torn and thrown away
Heaven’s decree is in the heart and soul that will always stay
The decree is Heaven’s decree in salvation Higher Learning, but with understanding
Man’s emphasizes Degree
Heaven emphasizes the soul in decree
Yet the Bible is the Teacher and Learning tool
Man states the Degree of fulfillment is what is cool
Man’s books are nothing more than theories and concepts
The Bible gives knowing how to live using the concepts in realities like case studies giving hope in knowing how to cope
Higher Learning is a process through a certain period
Yet Heaven’s Higher sustaining salvation is external into everlasting
However, Man’s Higher Learning, one doesn’t always master or understand the principles involved
The Bible opens up the principles with divine understanding beyond any College Textbook
Salvation is the educate, and all one has to do is take a look
So Man thinks a degree that will take you far
Yet knowledge, wisdom and perception is Heaven’s components come beyond the stars
A degree may look good with your name and degree name
But Heaven is all the Higher Learning involved having aim
It takes Prayer, Faith, Believing and Trusting being God’s decree to everlasting education and knowledge
Man’s Degree and Heaven’s decree all over privilege
But Heaven is the key that truly gives leverage

TALL CLOSET
preservationman Jul 2023
Marvelous
Magnificent
Built strong
Long Lasting
It’s not a home closet
It could be a walk in
But it is only how you enter
It’s actually an Office Building Skyscraper in New York City
The address is 550 Madison Avenue
Has many corporate tenants
Employees of all kinds
What makes it distinct?
The top and structure forming an arch like a closet
It is distinguished
All you have to do is look directly up
Then you would understand
The Tall Closet
Storage of Printers, Computers, Copiers, Employees and Facilities Operations accessories
People make up the fixtures
No wardrobe being only what is worn to work
Lots of room
Housekeeping brooms
The building is always kept neat
No clutter
The building that can’t be beat
A Tall Closet standing on the street
What could be so neat.

POET MAGAZINE
preservationman Sep 2018
This is the Poet communication being their own inspiration cuisine
Words being direction
Sentences illustrating the selection
Poems from everywhere
Emotions that the Poet wants to share
Ideas all in the mind
The open door of sublime
But the Poet Magazine wants the reader to keep this in mine
Inner emotions becomes outer emotions of expression
You could say it is a learning lesson
Poets are artist with creativity with words ready to perform
The reader will be thinking isn’t that the norm
But it is all about the sentences and words in how they form
But there is a feeling of dramatics
Words start but the sentences add to the finish
Distinction throughout the mount
But appreciation in what counts
Daylight into the twilight
Words visual with their own antics
But don’t try to measure metric
Poets think Quick
Think of us like an Action Flick
The movement of the Pen as the Poet stepped in
A moving keyboard with wizardry of all Poets that can
The thought that was established even then
Into the hearts throughout the world
Swirl Swirl Swirl
The time being always now
But Poets are individuals that show how.

BAD TIMES
preservationman Sep 2019
Remember the Good Times TV series, this isn’t it
It’s all about woes
Even involves on the New York City Subway of someone stepping on my toes
Well the so called Refrigerator that was supposed to be new broke down
I had no portable Freezer to be found
There was no warranty
Yet there was no honesty
Get in the car, but didn’t get far
Suddenly without notice, I was ejected from my own car, and told to get out
It was a wonder I didn’t end up in Long Island Sound
There I know I wouldn’t have been found
If that isn’t enough
I am sure to call someone else’s bluff
I was asked to create a Wedding Cake
Too me for Heaven’s sake
Can you guess what happened?
That’s right, the wedding cake crashed to the floor
I had to clean up and not ignore
As I was heading out the door, one of my jacket sleeves started coming loose
Now I felt like a naked Moose
What else can go wrong?
Remember they say in exercise go for the burn
My body felt like a hot urn
In fact, I was so stiff
Only thing I could think of was if
Talk about go for the burn
There are more woes, but I won’t say anymore
Enough is enough for sure
Bad Times
It leaves me feeling sublime.

What is it about Houndtown?
Could it be a name associated with the Greyhound bus?
Perhaps there is a relationship to the racing Hound?
Assuming is not going to help
Research is what I felt
Let’s go deeper into the story and find out about Houndtown being anywhere in the USA
The town was formed in 1924 in the backwoods being nothing more than full of forest
Hunting was its biggest hobby
However, I firmly believe hunting went beyond hobby, and into food survival
I see your mouth is drooling
But don’t get too hungry
Remember the animals roam, but I will leave that alone
Some kinfolks from Houndtown say it relates to numerous breed hounds that would be in the area
No one really knows why various hounds would be in Houndtown, but my guess being the forest in the wide open spaces
Now that would be a trace
Maybe I should add that the racing Hound got Houndtown’s start
It went beyond becoming a town on a map
It could have been Houndtown written on my cap
Yet, the racing hound being fast on its feet
Victories with very little defeat
Houndtown being a small town portion
I wasn’t born there, so from me it is only a notion
Now some historians have stated that Houndtown discovered the Fountain of Youth
Don’t rush to Houndtown looking for the potion as that would be a miracle
I have to keep it real
That is how I deal
So from what I have heard Houndtown seemed to have a lot of promise
Now I had to be honest
Houndtown with a name nobody knows, but through narration now everyone knows.

Alumni approved. The title alone says a lot. I literally had the desire to go to college, but I had to persuade myself to do it. I didn’t think I had what it took for Higher Education. Back at Springfield Gardens High School, my Spanish Teacher told my Grandmother during parent night that I wasn’t college material. My Grandmother responded with “She was going to make me college material”. My Grandparents were from the very start. My Grandfather had practice Typing 4 hours every day straight. He also prepared me for what college learning would be like in demonstrating Lectures and Theories. It didn’t stop there, it was through the Dictionary and Thesaurus incorporating words into intellectual speaking language.

My Grandfather was strong on college education. He often said to me, “I don’t care what the other kids are doing as it is going to be college for me”. In September 1976 is my journey prospered at CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE in pursuing my own possible Degree with the thinking impossible. Everything was concept and theories just like what my Grandfather predicted. It was sit down taking notes and preparing for Midterms and Final exams. I was always the shy type, but through the CUNY MEC breakthrough, my opinionated triumphant prevailed.

MEC made me who I am today, and through my darkest moments working within the business market. Some might say they created the Monster in me, but I became an achiever. I excelled in numerous corporate responsibilities, and Typing proved helpful. I worked directly with the Hard Hitters and Movers and Shakers. My MEC years became effective, and always has a reflection back in how far I came through MEC. I was molded into who I was meant to be, and some of my Professor’s was my inspiration. Some of those Professors would often me encouragement. Now that I graduated from MEC as an Alumni, I encourage others in their own uphill climb to expectation. I am retired now, but keep myself active in WRITING/POETRY. I want to be an example of their fulfilling and willing at the same scope. I want to see and know their potential in able and always enable. My writing spoken words are all over the internet in different mediums. I am also involved in the Bus Industry with over 2,000+Toy Scale Model Buses. I have been recognized by Greyhound Bus Lines, Inc. in their Corporate magazine being a Photo and Feature. I have also received awards for my Poetry. My can do is a follow through. MEC made it happen. It started with desire, and teleported to my own frontier by achieving and always believing beyond the cloud of doubt.

A LIFE FULL OF DREAMS
preservationman Nov 2018
The moment seemed long
I felt society I didn’t belong
But that is what society wanted me to think
I was thinking like a weak link
I was released from Prison being incarcerated
I had committed a crime stealing cars
I was robbing but didn’t get far
While I was behind those Prison walls, I would often dream in being free
Yet it was associating the understanding being the key
It seemed like it was an illusion but it was all seclusion

I saw myself being a Self-Motivator
Now in other encourage others, I had to first inspire myself
Going out and encourage young people to not be a bad example from the streets
But don’t go to Prison being a moment of temporary or even permanent defeat
Turn your cell experience into enduring inspiration
Life does have appreciation but you have to look around and find positive circles that will enrich your spirit straight to your heart
Where there is a bad road, you will also find a good road
Society will say you have no place
It is all about taking the chance and being given a chance
This is the way one does advance
But society wants a bad person to be an automatic human delete as a waste
It becomes cope with a hesitate
But as a Former Inmate, it doesn’t have a take
You have value and it all started when you were born
There was a reason and a destiny with a purpose

However, long before Prison and bad habits, I went to College and earned two degrees, a Bachelors in Business Management and a Masters in Public Administration
Even though education was my start, I had built the foundation
But I see there is a question, so what happened of why I went into crime?
You see I had the education, but I mixed up with the wrong elements figuring I could get them to change, but it came reverse, they made me change thinking my education was nothing more than proving something to the Man
But I proved that I could sustain knowledge and make something of my life regardless of what negative people think
It’s all about turn around and move fast forward
But never dwell on sorrows within uncertain rivers
But despite Prison, I still have the education appreciation
However, you emphasize the value of you before Prison even came up
Yet don’t get fed up
Just continue to present and what you have established in your own component of life and what it represents

Quality being golden comes within
Assumption is thinking then into present
A bad situation can comer with a learning good ending
Ladder words is what will help you reach the top
REACH, ELEVATE, CLIMB, MOVEMENT, STEP BY STEP
When it comes to knowledge don’t stop
Knowledge is the key in giving you the know how
It doesn’t necessarily have to be college, but educate yourself in something that will make you a stand out as a commodity

When people try to mock
Just say and plain simple tone, you haven’t been where I was, but my life is enhanced with goodness from on high, and there is a good person inside with a heart
Cherish always being you
Understand your theory in being you but having no mistaken command
You are a person in which no one can change, but you that person who can rearrange
My dreams always have a full hope
It doesn’t make you a dope
Yet it comes with assurance you will always be able to cope.

The ingredients of patience
Emotion of tolerance
Yet a questionable assurance
This is involves elements of the job market having influence
It surrounds the three elements I described in the title above
It has nothing to do with a cooking selection
How Recruiters review applicants being their regularization
Applicants can feel as though they are being picked for a job like a bet at a Horse Racking Track
Are they wagering their bets?
Perhaps relishing on their own regrets
Recruiters are saying they are using the Applicant Tracking System as an alibi
But it is through understanding, and here is the reason why
Computers can make errors causing an oversight
An Applicant that might not have the words in the Resume, but is qualified to be considered for the job, but has been separated from the interviewing pack
It’s all pure fact, and no need for me to trace back
It’s a wonder that applicant’s even apply for any job
Because like cattle in the pasture, the applicant becomes just another candidate mob
I know the volume of candidate’s make the Recruiter’s job difficult
But look at the damage to the applicant being felt
The applicant feeling positive then it turns either an interview or no interview at all being negative with no exact reason why
Yet, applicants are told to keep trying, but what is the purpose?
It often has been said to try and try again
But the can becomes the reason for when
It’s abilities that applicants have been in to make their skills solid along with their experience
But the whole process is like competing in the Olympic Games using endurance
Where is the inspiration of assurance?
Again, applicants are told to proceed proceed, but what is the need?
Opportunity is what applicant needs in being a chance
It’s not look me over in a distance glance
To be honest, no Recruiter even understands the applicant page
The agenda becomes the regular stage
I am an applicant, and Recruiters would be amazed
It seems the applicant is ****** into the volume like a vacuum cleaner
Nothing could be meaner
Recruiters only see the applicant as just another voice in competition, but they don’t see what value the applicant can bring to the company
It all falls under assumption in what the Recruiter individually thinks
So Recruiters, are you looking for rare, medium well or well done
Recruiters, are you gamed in keeping candidates among?
What is your candidate selection?
