POETRY WRAP UP
preservationman Nov 2023
Through the years
Open Door
Expanded Mind
Words come to mine
Universal what’s around
Every Poet adds to the sound
Wonder and Delight
The darkness through the light
No one knows what a Poet thinks
It has to be written in Black and White Ink
A Poet’s own back track
Assumption is not an actual
All factual
Sometimes there might be a delay
Reaction Pause
Suspense
A Poet’s brief
Emotion Unlock
Every letter and word timing like a clock
The minute, second and hour
Poet Open Up
Poet’s own curtain come down
Finale
Poet’s all over the world with intriguing thoughts beyond into yonder
A tomorrow of fulfillment
Poet’s Poet’s with a loud word applause
Essence with excellent
Poet’s take a bow

DEATH CAME QUICK
preservationman Dec 2021
I thought I had family
They became my enemy
I wasn’t wrong in my thinking
I was put in a corner alone
I was a family member no one talks about
The Families reasoning feeling like a Violent Thunderstorm
I was assured they wanted me dead
There’s no instead
Suicidal thoughts
There was a bottle of Poison on the table
There was a certain unable
My mind said, “DRINK, DRINK, DRINK”
At first, it was one sip of the Poison with every gulch
Suddenly I felt weak
My eyes were dim
The Poison was taking effect
I felt sleepy and conversing into a transformation
My heart beat slowly
My moment of Death was near
You caused this
You said I was nothing
I am drifting into a distance beyond tomorrow
Don’t pity nor sorrow
This is what you wanted
You wanted me dead and now it happened
My heart and soul belong to the outer world
Finally, I close my eyes for the last time
Never to awake
GONE FOREVER

FITNESS OUT DEDICATION
preservationman Nov 2019
Exercise to maintain
The extra fat that can’t remain
Focus should be on shape
The mirror should not be showing one big as an ape
Nutrition being an important factor
There should be no cheating then regretting after
Fitness must be a total commitment in seeing the exercising results
The scale tells the truth
Exercise will enhance cells and that will improve your youth
Now you keep saying you need exercise
The key to exercise will help you to be energized
This is nothing revolutionized
You must take the first exercise step
This is how results and goals are met
Exercise like the Jack LaLanne way
Be consistent but don’t astray
Put a smile on the Full Length Mirrors face
Turn on exercise into being your own race
So let’s begin and let your before and after become your transformation trace.

THE PAST LIFE QUICKLY MOVED TO THE FUTURE
THE EARTH TURNED TO A NEW REVOLVE
THE QUEST WHAT SCIENTIST CAN RESOLVE
ROBOTS HAVE TAKEN ON HUMAN LIFE
THE HUMAN’S CAN’T EXPLAIN NOR OFFER ADVICE
BUT ROBOTS ARE THE TOMORROW’S TECHNOLOGY
THERE’S NO NEED FOR PSYCHOLOGY
MICROCHIPS AND SENSORS ARE THE ADVANCED ELECTRONIC HUMAN
HUMANS HAVE BECOME EXTINCT, AND THEY CAN’T COMPUTE NOR COMPETE
HUMAN’S ARE LOSS IN A TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY
PRECISE BEYOND HUMAN’S PACE
ROBOT’S ARE MORE EFFICIENT, AND IF IT WAS BETWEEN HUMAN’S, THE HUMAN’S WOULD LOSE THE RACE
ONE ROBOT LOOKED INTO ONE HUMAN’S FACE
THE ROBOT STATED, “I AM THE NEW FUTURE, AND YOU HUMAN’S NO LONGER HAVE AN PAST”
MIDNIGHT WAS THE EARTH’S CHANGE
LIFE TRANSPORTED INTO A NEW ARRANGE
ROBOT’S HAVE TAKEN OVER
HUMAN’S NO LONGER EXIST
DON’T BOTHER TO BE MAD HUMAN’S, AND SHOW YOUR FIST
THIS IS THE WAVE OF THE ROBOT GETAWAY
WE ARE HERE TO STAY.

CHRISTMAS TOLD
preservationman Dec 2021
It was narrated like this
The Night Stars twinkled while all the kids around the world were asleep
They were busy dreaming in wishing which Reindeers they would like to keep
They were thinking deep
At least it wasn’t about sheep
While the kids were sleeping, it became a Santa dash
He was quick in a flash
Snow had fallen during the night
But Santa made sure he wasn’t seen in sight
He placed all kinds of gifts under all the Christmas trees
He brought joy for all kids to see
It was now Christmas morning, and all the kids rushed to get up
The kids marveled at what Santa left
There were smiles among smiles on kid’s faces
It was the captioned moments having traces
You could almost hear echoes of ** ** **
Christmas had arrived
Every child felt energized
It’s no surprise
Christmas is in every kid’s heart like an enterprise
You just have to recognize

I am hungry
But that is only a desire
However, my hungry doesn’t involve food
Feed me inspiration
Encourage me with positive intentions
Use Virtual words like a music selection
Feed my crave where my understanding will soar
Use utensils helping me to compliment my inner assortments
Speak your wise
Help me realize
Nourish me to energize
Let me digest my own inner desire
Achieving goes beyond the fire
No time to slimmer down
But for a moment let me look around
A hot stove telling me, are you ready to accomplish?
One wish being a full course meal of fulfillment
Hungry I was
But now I no longer starve.

TROUBLE IS MY NAME
preservationman Aug 2021
My name is Trouble
I cause disturbance where ever i go
I cause confusion in break ups
I focus on the mind in people to steal
Go out and make a situation a big deal
I have sent many people to jail
I even mingle with the mail
Life has always been on fail
There's no reason to do right
Wrong is my trouble
This is where I always stumble
In fact, perhaps my name should be changed to stumble
Troubles are always bad
It's been like that since I was a lad
I couldn't keep relationships
School I had no interest
I was a Drop Out
So Trouble is my name
My substance is drugs
I hang out with Thugs
You haven't seen the trouble I am in
Perhaps I can persuade you to begin
So Trouble here
I have no fear
Trouble is here to stay
I have no getaway

Enrich
Embrace
Laugh with Joy
It is ok to cry
Smell the beauty of the flowers
Cherish every given hour
Marvel the skies seeking understanding
Observe the stars at Night
No need to wish just observe
It’s not the stars twinkle, but it is the Night shine
Observe the ocean waves
The waves are suggesting, “Be calm and behave”
It’s a new day and a new moment
A time to live
Appreciation and encouragement to give
Moment by Moment
Hour by hour
Minute by minute
Cherish
See tomorrow
But remember yesterday
Feel the glory

But give thanks to Thee

There once was a post
A positive comment being an uplifted boast
Words that didn’t satisfy
I didn’t respond in a try
There was something wrong with a Facebook fella
Negative jive
I survived
Moved on
I am at where I belong
Life is short
I did abort
Energy saved
I know how to behave
My life fulfilled
Feeling at ease
Give me a break please
Negativity is not who I am about
Problem person needs to work it out

THE TALK OF WAR
preservationman Sep 2019
Preparation of a World fight
A battle that the Military doesn’t take light
Ammunition ready to fire
Endurance in Soldiers in not to tire
World peace not a thought
Talks after talks are simply something of sort
But Military must be ready
It’s just a moment in holding steady
Eye on the enemy movement
Bombs being ready to explode
It will be fierce operation in load
The all out battle of destruction in explode
Talks cut short
It’s a battle to be fought
Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines are you ready?
As a Nation we must stand together and unite
But when it comes to war, it is about ignite
Yet a talk of war
The theory to conquer and claim victory
End of story
Satan: World listen up
I am the King of distinction
Hatred, Corruption and Destruction at my helm
Defeat is no option

Narrator: Satan thought
Satan wanted to do battle and challenged the Lord
A battle that would soon begin
God’s Angels descended being the Lord’s spiritual
Warriors and the Lord accompanied them

Lord: I am the Lord Almighty of Faith in trust of Deliverance
Satan you are no match for me
I bring the ultimate superiority of power beyond yours
External light follows me
Satan you are all darkness

Satan: I am determined to be the victor, and will not back
down
I have my own forces of sinful warriors

Narrator: Let the battle commence
The challenger’s step up
Front and Center
No handshake nor smile
Just eye to eye
They accept the challenge
Satan full of Hell fiery
The Lord surrounded with Glory
The Heavenly Angels observed ready in support in
Defending whenever
Satan’s soulful warriors with spears and disguised as
Disfigured animals

Challengers: Satan tries to attack the Lord in punches
The Lord feels not one
The Lord then waves his mighty hand, and Satan
is knocked down unable to get up
Satan thought he was strong like a giant, but was
defeated on the spot
Narrator: Testing the Lord’s ability was a No No, and Satan
got a taste first hand

Finale: Satan and his Soulful warriors destroyed
He went back to Hell to plan his next move
Defeat mode was his judgement
He vowed revenge
Satan attempted to attack the Narrator, but didn’t
Realize he confronted not knowing that the
Narrator was an Angel of God’s army
Frightened full of fear and fled
The Lord told his Spiritual Angels that the mission
was complete
Wasn’t truly over
Satan will once again try to make every effort to
imprison the world in conflict
Heaven will always be ready and observing in
giving a peaceful outcome of solvency
Cheers to Heaven
New believers step out
Understanding that hope doesn’t come from Hell
New day with a better tomorrow
Everlasting promise
Watchful eyes of Heaven
Lord’s Cross
Faith Enforce
Sunlight forever
Sin no more
Sunrise for sure

THE CONCEALED DREAM
preservationman Mar 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.

Fallen knee deep within the cries

Hard to hold steady

But sometimes not exactly in that order
The church building is perfect, but people are not
It was a sermon preached by a Pastor that got attention
It’s something that must be mentioned
The Theme, “If God said it, it’s definitely a Promise”
As the Pastor was preaching, it was Amen here and Amen all over the church
The. Congregation could feel the anointing throughout
The spirit was moving
That is who the Lord is all about
The theme itself has power
It doesn’t matter the hour
Scriptures are never undone
One must participate being among
Shout in rejoice

As a child, I remember my days back home
It was Deep Creek, Wisconsin being the fun times on the Farm where I roamed
Holiday times with the Winter fallen Snow
It was the cold wind with soothing warmth of love
Home was everything to think of
I remember the Hot Chocolate being refreshing accompanied with Marshmallows
We had a Fireplace
Because I lived on a farm, we chopped our Christmas Tree and decorated it in the house
The Christmas Tree would be placed on the right side
I had a Union Pacific Passenger Train Toy set, and it added the effect going around the Christmas Tree
It would be my Father and I together admiring the whole scene of the Christmas Tree and Train set
You can imagine the joy on my face in the Christmas season
All for good reason
My Dad told me stories from Charles Dickens, “The Christmas Carol”
The story was an awkward twist, but the holiday feel was no hit and miss
I would fall asleep, and Mom and Dad would give me a kiss
When Morning came, I would rush downstairs to see what Santa left
It would be gifts of all kinds from clothes to toys
The holiday wouldn’t mean anything without the warmth of love in being loved by a family
Those were my memories
They cherished well among the stars twinkled along with the Moon smile
A lifetime of dreams
Tomorrow enriched with living day by day
My Parents have passed away
But I remember them every day
Yet my heart says I was blessed
Holiday thoughts into one stocking
My life throughout
Holiday thoughts
Holiday ** and Snow
A child’s spirit putting you in the know.

It was Galaxy upon Galaxy

Compulsions of planets surrounding our spaceship
Into the realms of space never seen
Yet it is all being captured through human eyes

Space storms observations with a cause
Yet maneuvers beyond control
Our grave could become Space Dust
But could the story ever be told?
This is our account alone being bold
How can our space exploration be explained?
Perhaps will think we are crazy being lamed
Would Earth even believe?
Scientific approaches front and center in advances
Would Planes actually collide?

Shooting stars fly exceedingly fast
Acceleration upon acceleration in speed

He remembered the advice his Grandfather would say
“Go out and do your best, and let your confidence shine through.
Before you know it, your expectations will pay off”
The Theatrical show was a Drama, the Director was looking for a Star Role in being the lead of “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM”
It was a play about knowing who a person is and finding their place in life
Seems fitting as the Young Man’s life falls into the category
On with the story
The Young Man was nervous yet confident
He had no idea in how the Director will respond to his audition
The Young Man had no theatrical experience
Only encouragement being his Grandfather’s influence
He read the script with Drama, Emotion and the Director felt his feeling
Later, the Director asked the Young Man did he act before, and he replied No that he was a natural
The Director then stated, Congratulations
You got the Lead Role
Thanks to the encouragement over the years from his Grandfather
Words from the wise

You see fail
But I am talent
You want me to be silent
But my name is ECHOE
You told me I am surrounded by defeat
But I have been encouraged by delete and I will retreat

I am inspired on my terms of when
You see me being no more than I am
Assured told me you are your own setback
This is my tomorrow
Your yesterday long gone
I know where I belong
You flourish on dwell
But I have stories to tell
You want me to bend like a pretzel
But my talent tells me to excel
You can’t step into my shoes because they don’t fit
Ability forms it
You just don’t measure up in size
Essence is my energize
Determination leads me
But that is not what you see
Watch me move and swirl
Captivation in attention from Earl
I am the moment
Defeat is not my conclusion
The commitment is no illusion
What you see is not what you get
It is the best yet
Today is the day
You need to get out of my way
This is my time to shine and take away
You are the runway

Behold the gospel word
Praises that could be heard
Looking for a uplift
It’s not a catch my drift
My voice rang out in the Holy Spirit
It is the goodness as God is merit

It was a night of praying and preaching
There was plenty of knowledge surrounding teaching
My Soul was totally enriched
That’s where I got my uplift
There was no more doubt, but assurance in hope
Pure inspiration in blessing in cope
The Spirit fed my Soul
Embrace having an unfold
The Holy Spirit is mighty and bold

It’s daily living in order to proceed
Advice from the Most High

The drudgery of working
Sometimes you get no perk
But life is surrounding work
The idea of working is survival
When you go to work it seems like a chore
But let me explain more
Imagine working in an office from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Getting to working is no jive
In fact, one can’t wait until five
The responsibilities being all routine
Keeping on track with nothing in between
Meeting at 10:00
Preparation from when
Pressure during then
Presentation to impress
A Client’s Aptitude
I hope I am appreciated after I conclude
I must emphasize that the Client is enthused
A Firemen’s job to save and survive
There’s a fire at West 138th Street house
Like a speed of light, we must have our flashes on shining bright
It’s a matter of life or death
Now that is a Firemen’s job
You have seen two jobs working
Its morning again, you are in a rush
You are talking on the phone, but you are telling the party to hush
You burned the toast
You have no time to finish what you cooked on your plate
You are definitely running late
You dash out the door
You forgot sometime for sure
I just missed the downtown bus
I will hop in a cab being a plus
Now stuck in traffic
All I do is fuss
Now I am starting to cuss
I need to calm down being a must
Traffic Traffic Traffic
It’s just the norm being specific
What you have just witnessed, “Working-The Musical” a play about working
Did I encourage you to quit or retire?
Do be inspired
No time to explain as it has expired.

Dare to imagine
Extraordinary at every bound
Close your eyes and explore
Journey beyond the stars
Captivation within your own creation
The obvious becoming sublime
Yet marvelous in spectacular
Expectations beyond even your quo
Hold on tight, it is going to be a journey unforgettable
You might see your past of regrettable
But it will be inspiration throughout
Imagine yourself as a commodity
Perhaps a Scientist composing components for the future
Maybe even finding disease cures
Creativity talent within your own art
Follow the starship enterprise
Your own ability that you didn’t realize
Dare to dream
Your mind being all the possibilities like a movie screen
Dare to explore
Discovery for sure
Dare to dream
Explore Parallels

ONCE UPON A SKY

One minute sunny and clear
Suddenly cloudy followed by fear
Sometimes Rain
Followed by lightning and thunder
As a child I wondered why?
Why do stars twinkle?
Why are there so many planets?
Wondering child
School said Astronomy
Scientist said the Universe
As for the sky, God’s creation
I began to understand
All scientific
The beauty being terrific
Each night I would see the sky telling me a story
Glace and look up
Shooting stars that would zoom far
One wish
One hope
Believing heart
Caring soul
Behold
A story of wonder told
Into the unknown
Sky odyssey

MIRACULOUS
A Greyhound Bus
Scheduled #102 to depart from Jackson, Mississippi
With destination signage for Memphis, Tennessee
The Greyhound Bus Driver was given the signal to depart
Every seat was accounted for and the bus was full
The bus was heading for the highway
Through the downtown Streets of Jackson leading to the journey that would begin
It was night and weather uncertain
Light rain began to fall
Suddenly, a strong wind began to blow
The wind got stronger and stronger
Without warning the bus was caught in a Tornado
Homes and structures were blown away
Even farm animals were also taken into flight
Cars and trucks thrown everywhere
The Greyhound Bus itself was lifted up swirling through the Tornado
What was amazing that the bus stayed intact during their ordeal
The spin and turn
Passengers were in panic
Their thought was this was their death
Without warning, the bus was descended downward, and gently placed on the ground back to the highway where journey started
Everyone was alive and survived
Only minor bruises
It was as if God said, “I spared you all”
Go and tell your testimony about the high and mighty
The Greyhound bus was able to continue their journey
It wasn’t their time to go home to Heaven
That day will always be remembered
Miraculous to tell their tail
The bus arrived into Memphis late
It didn’t matter, the Driver and passenger were alive to see another day
Faith was designated throughout the passengers
Miraculous
