A home that I saw
It was in a neighborhood that I had to explore
I certainly couldn’t ignore
The best way to describe
The wood paneling was magnified
It was a two family house
There was plenty of room even for a mouse
The antic had to room to store
This I know for sure
The house stood out on the block
The doors were sturdy with a strong lock
There was even a long backyard
There was space to move backward and forward
The fireplace was something to see
I like the house, but this is between you and me
My dream house in my mind
It has every combined
That is my house story, and I am smiling in my glory.

We are all kids at heart
It all started from the beginning at the very start
Tom who loved Greyhound buses
This was always a childhood must
Tom was given a scale toy model Blue Prevost Greyhound bus
It was Tom’s dream being full of pluses
Happy with no fuss
While Tom fell asleep all nestled for the night
There was going to be a surprise and it will be a sight
The scale toy model Greyhound bus blue had come to life
The bus horn woke Tom up
The Greyhound Driver told Tom to get up as we are going for a ride
Well up Tom went and the travel being the stride
A ride going around the block
The Greyhound Driver told Tom, recline in his seat and put up his feet
You are in for a treat
As Tom leaned back in the comfortable blue bus seat, he suddenly fell asleep
He dreamed of that bus moment
When the next morning came, the scale model toy blue bus was back on the mantle in the exact same place
But will this dream ever be erased?
The blue bus Prevost only knows
A child’s inspiring heart that showed
Captivation, the blue bus will never tell
Good day into the night with all being well.

The year 1957 when I was born
I was attempting to wake up from a yond
My mother carried me and she smoked
It was like feeling temporary life being revoked
I acquired health problems and almost choked
I had Asthma, Yellow Jaundice and I was suffering from malnutrition
This is far more than any ordinary condition
Doctor’s consulted with my Mother and Grandparents that I was at near death But don’t get to attached as I didn’t have much time left
My limit was supposed to be 7 years old
But there is a word of behold
Doctor’s suggestion it would be God’s will beyond
My Grandmother being a praying warrior felt the Doctor didn’t consult the Lord on confirmation
The almighty was the one with all the information
My Grandmother then saw a vision from the Lord
The Lord stated, “Your Grandson will live as I am the Lord they God who giveth Life”
Well when it was revealed my Grandmother didn’t have to think twice
Why, because the Lord gave sound advice?
The years that the Doctor’s said would be an end
It was extended years in begin
I am 57 years and no wonder as I am the miracle of behold
The sun gave me a partial smile, but God sent the full sunrise to everyone’s surprise.

A man being a vocal host
But he is a legend from coast to coast
The voice behind the “Quiet Storm”
A night to sit back and relax
Forget your day, this is a night to be not perplexed
Music to put you in the mood
A Full Moon night, but harmony and tone that would make you soothe
Vaughn Harper being silk and smooth
Mr. Harper’s voice could calm any storm
He was a Radio personality that will definitely be missed
But it was his captivation in memory being the twist
Mr. Harper was the voice that carried you through the night
Relax in the dark and turn off the lights
His voice was something of pure delight
But his tone that would excite
A smile having its own light that would shine bright
Mr. Harper’s name was written in the stars
But his souls is at rest
However, truly Heaven says it best
Your life has gone far
You are more than just Vaughn Harper referred to as are
Your talent being your reward
But’s a radio announcement stating, it’s was time to come home
Heaven responded, “you need to be with my singing Angels
Your voice will be full of praise
But your fans on Earth will remember in how you would amaze
The Quiet Storm signed off
From the air waves to his silent heart
Thank you for letting me enrich your homes
My voice being pleasure being your friend when you felt alone
As the Quiet Storm, I prepared you to maneuver through any storm
But I am under God’s care being an eternal norm
My tomorrow has arrived today
My flame burns with love astray
This is Vaughn Harper saying sleep tight and good night.

A man who revolutionized the ****** equation
Many people will draw their own conclusion
Hugh Hefner being a billionaire
He died at a long longevity age of 91 Years Old
Hefner was a wonder and breed having a behold
Mr. Hefner turned a dream into ******* Magazine
******* bunnies would often be seen throughout Hefner’s Mansion

Bus of beauty and delight
Scenic everyone knows because the headlights shine bright
Citizens wave as the bus passes by
The driver carefully flashes his lights in Hello
Scenic connects people with scenery
America with Pride
Scenic even passes a Native American Indian Tribe
Scenic that can be sonic
It’s the comfort in the passengers ride
It comes with reclining seats having the scenic stride
A very restful sleep
The passengers in thought with keep
No time to start counting sheep
Scenic knows the highway routes best
Yet only scenic can truly confess
Scenic is more than beauty on the road
Attention motorist in behold

More than a coach traveling from coast to coast
Scenic with headlights being its surprise
It’s beyond the highway in making all traveling motorist wise
So when scenic flashes lights at night in hello, honk your horn in approval
Scenic with your fine design, I wish you could be all mine.

Day into night
The Hot Sun being the summer light
Slavery and ******* being a plight
Plantation having a purpose
Beatings with torment strikes
The disadvantage in having no constitutional rights
The plan in how slaves will escape
It will be movements like apes
While the slave masters were asleep
The Slaves were making plans in escape preparations being thought deep
All the Slaves held their meeting, but knew there could be death with plenty of torture if they were to be caught
But escape in being a chance, but it’s the only way the slaves will ever advance
A mission with being determined to be free
But the Slaves had to escape at night before sunrise without being noticed
The Slaves took their lanterns, but had to be very quite it if they intend to head for freedom in the Underground Railroad
Yet night was pitch black
Slaves had to mobilize forward, but not look back
The focus, “On to Freedom”
A new being feeling like Heaven’s Kingdom
Well the Underground Railroad was light at the end of the tunnel
Many Slaves were able to exit into forbidden States, while others were less fortunate, and were killed in their efforts
Yet different states had abolished all the slave laws and Slavery for most part became home of freedom
So the Underground Railroad was a passage in freedom being was it was supposed to be
The eye on Dignity and Honor in knowing where one belongs
The music of spiritual songs
“Wade in the Water”
The Lord sees our plight and he is our guidance and our light
It was a time of weary and tired feet
But freedom you can’t give into defeat
Every breath in accelerating in whatever time you have left
The Curtain call but with freedom never ending
A time to rejoice and give thanks
It was a long walk being a journey
I carried my dignity and pride with me with every given step
Now I can finally close my eyes and sleep
My soul is in Heaven and everlasting to keep
My living being my stride
Oh Lord to whom I will abide.

A Hobo name may not sound like much
But when it comes to Charlie, a Hobo who once had fortune and fame
It has often been said, what’s in a name?
But the story of Charlie, I am not ashamed
Charlie was once a Wall Street Trader

Sunrise has begun
The Trucker is living among
Every road turning bend
A Trucker’s job never ends
The road just brings the Trucker a step closer to their destination
Sometimes there’s a pause
A reason with a cause
Journeys fulfilled
The Trucker can be off schedule
Delays unavoidable
Weather conditions making travel unstable
The mission being the assignment
Beaten path
Endless wait
No appreciate
Fathoms
Vision thought
Reminder
Truckers with drive
Directions
Maneuvers
Determinations and commitments
Agreements
Truckers with delivery matters
Keep to the minute, seconds and hours
Trucker vow, “Keep on Trucking”
Motto, “Arrive Alive”
Doing what Truckers do best
Drive and continue to drive

Whispering blinding desert winds
A blanketing over the eyes
In between being a lonely lamb
Loss and not having any direction in where to go
It was a slow and uneven flow
Yet the lonely lamb pushed on
It was a matter of moving along
Suddenly it was night and a full moon was shining
But there was a bright light far away
However, there was a star that led the little lamb astray
But for some strange reason, the lamb felt encouraged in moving towards being ok
That same star was leading the little lamb directly to those bright lights
The little lamb came up with a multitude traveling towards the bright lights as well
Apparently the message got out as a messenger tell
When the little lamb arrived, he saw a little babe in a manger, but had no idea of who the babe was
The little lamb knew that it had to be someone of importance and royalty
Later the lamb observed it was the baby Jesus
The littler lamb’s face became a smile of hope
A message being instilled with encouragement to cope
Later the little lamb was able to find it’s way back home
Having direction and no need to roam
A little lamb that was homeward bound, and arrived safely, and can now sleep calmly with no distracting sounds.

A solid **** being the turn
The mind in using what you learned
The base of one’s destiny
The negativity among the enemies
The door that stands before you
You have no idea of what’s behind being a clue
The history of people walking in
Their untold stories of decisions to begin
The mysteries behind a mist
It just turns into a theory of a twist
Yet again people have walked in
But also they never came out
Conscious to see, but no shout
Intrigue to know what the door was all about
One’s step at the door to open
One’s journey to explore and a door that separates
It’s the wonders that indicates
One must learn to appreciate
Vision of the human body, the mechanics close-up of the mind, and one’s inner soul of redemption.

I am going on a 7 day Cruise on the open seas
I am looking forward to feeling that ocean breeze
I will be playing all of kinds of games
I may have to be tamed
Taking in the ship’s pool
Being me and acting like a fool
Sailing sailing miles out in the ocean
I will be so relaxed as if I am under potion
As I am on deck and I head for the bar
The bar certainly is far
I am having my champagne toast
Now I am on the deck and getting a tan and perhaps roast
Right about now I feel no pain
I am staggering back to my cabin
I hope nothing is going to happen
Just my luck
I could be going overboard
Then I would be saying, “Oh my Lord”
The fishes dining on me
Ships miles away, I will not see
Luckily I made it back to my cabin
Thank God nothing actually happened
So anchors away my friends and stories to tell later of where I have been
THE END

She is not a Witch
It’s not even her figure in how she moves in twitch
Madam Spectacular is simply dazzling when she dances
She has control of the audience with every move
It’s her talent that she wants to prove
Spotlights that change color during the show being captivation in the audience soothe
It’s like a destination being a arrive
I am saying that but that is no jive
Footsteps with rhythm precision
A theme “Don’t draw your own conclusion”
Today a moment being a struggle, but tomorrow just let be
Madam Spectacular who dances in enjoying life
Encourages her audience by giving advice
Music that is upbeat
It has an effect in bring the audience to their feet
But it is oh what a treat
Madam Spectacular dancing with beats going on
A show that can last really long
At the end, Madam Spectacular takes her bow
The curtain then comes down
Madam Spectacular who performs really well
But word gets around, and it will be tell.

March with me back into history down memory lane
Oppositions upon oppositions being the blame
A voice being strong injustice like a blazing flame
Dr. Martin Luther King who was ready to take aim
Colored as it was used in the 1950’s and 60’s
****** called being all Afro Americans names
Beatings upon beatings
Enough was enough in Dr. King speaking out in no more
We shall overcome, but the message, we shall not run away
Fight we will along with the consequences still
There’s a train a coming, but its destination is victory
Multitudes all marching with a Civil Rights story
Eyes to the skies with God being the glory
Clasped arms and holding hands in togetherness illustrate
Numerous biblical songs for inspiration
March On and don’t tire, as we can’t let freedom expire
Washington needs to know, and we must let our disturbed voices show
Dr. King felt they had marched miles from towns into southern cities
But we as American’s people need no pity
But the time was right to move further south into Washington, DC

The very words of Dr. King brought the multitudes casting the Civil Rights presentation
The multitudes came by bus, car, train and motorcycle, as it didn’t matter, there was rapid message that needed to be heard and told
But the march was just that bold
Mahalia Jackson sang the gospel hymnal of “How I Got Over”
But added with that in my opinion, but how I got closer to knowing who got me over being God himself
However, this march was more than just colored, it was for all people in detouring the separation, but bringing all races together

Yet the opposition was always trying to get over in making injustice right
Yet American was stuck in it being the plight
But God was on Dr. King’s side
The multitudes proved it being the stride

It was on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC of “I Have a Dream Speech”
This is just a sample that is paraphrased, “I have a dream today that every Black, White, Jews and Catholic will be able to join hands and converse together in freedom
A dream being told and a mission being fulfilled
The platform may be empty, but Dr. King’s words still pack that impact as if it was yesterday
Dr. King’s spirit is overlooking over us from upon in Heaven and a high mountain
The sunrise is the timing for us to get up and stand up for the cause
The sun is shining bright for us to not stay in the shadows, but come out with dignity and pride
We must still make the Civil Rights shout
Dr. King may have been gone for years
But his voice being the plan is for us to continue to preserver
Instead of killing one another, we must embrace
There should not be any separation in any race
We must strengthen the weak chain
Injustice today can’t remain
Dr. Martin Luther King marched to glory
He is remembered being American’s distinguished story
Tomorrow may be another day, but Civil Rights must be here to stay
My voice into yours, are you listening or will you continue to be a problem?
Dr. King journeyed and conquered, what miles in footsteps you will be taking in the future?
In the distance, I hear march on, but we all must be everlasting strong.

New Jerusalem Worship Center did it again
Pure Gospel through and through
Plenty of Praise from everyone that was due
Celebrity Gospel Recording Artist that performed
The names in appearance were Tasha Cobbs, JJ Hairston and Tye Tribbett
All the recording artist were talent given by Jesus himself
It was nobody else
Each Artist had their own blend of music
It was rhythm straight to the heart
Harmony in lifting Spirits
Praise being blessings in honor of the Lord’s merits
The concert took place at where I worship at New Jerusalem Worship Center
It is known as the big white church in Jamaica, New York
The music was enriched in God’s goodness
Every attendee was the personal witness
God was pleased with the concert turnout
This was a reason to praise with a gloried shout
I am sure the harmony reached the Heavenly gates
The music having many messages for the audience to take in such as, “Change Your Ways”, “This is War with having the Full Christian Armor on”, “It’s time to be Church and not act like Church”, “Let your Faith and prayer be powerful”
Calling on the name of Jesus there is power
It doesn’t matter the day nor the hour
Well the ****** Win Tour Concert ended with a positive note
Death could not hold Jesus down
One day, we will all be Heaven bound.

It was a 1905 steam engine passenger train ride
Through the vase landscape being wide
Old Marilyn who ran from West Virginia into the Ozarks
The train that took the name Marilyn from celebrity Marilyn Monroe
Old Marilyn who would run through Overlook Peak and refurbish at Thunder’s Retreat
Everyone from one community to another would see Old Marilyn’s puff of smoke and hear her horn
It would be a signal that “Old Marilyn is coming through”
The passengers enjoyed the scenery ride
It was sit back, and take it in your stride
Old Marilyn had even more history of its own
No one really would have known
Many Celebrities and even one President travelled on Old Marilyn
But Old Marilyn was history when she took the name
As train design changed, Old Marilyn was a name that didn’t remain
The changing of the times
The memory of Old Marilyn steaming around
One could still hear “All Aboard in anywhere bound”
Puff of smoke with the horn sound
Old Marilyn, you captured my heart
Your name will always be written on the chart
It was your history from the very start.

The story of Old Smokey
I am your narrator and that is oh goody
I was a young boy living in what I call the Kentucky stripe
It was Blue Creek, a river near my home within a Log Cabin
But always in the distance, I often saw a puff of dark smoke with the engine moving sound
Well it was Old Smokey being New Orleans bound
It all including its Pullman passenger cars
Yes it was Old smokey coming through
I would often stand by the railroad tracks, and as Old Smokey passed, the Engineer would always wave
But through the engine noise, The Engineer would shout, “You Behave”

But one seeing the dark engine black smoke would think it was storm clouds coming
However, it was only Old Smokey throughout the community that “Old Smokey has arrived”
Yet, there was one time we didn’t have a railroad through our town called “Cotton Gulch”
It was a town stopped by Stage coaches with blisters to the **** and being sore
Well stage coaches weren’t actually what travelers wanted to explore
But what choice did citizens have?
The Mayor Hatton wanted a railroad coming and stopping at Cotton Gulch
He also wanted freight trains that would bring money to the town
Well the Cotton Gulch Mayor, Governor, Railroad Company and a Representative from the Federal Government had a meeting in how this railroad would be constructed
History was made, and in 1802, the railroad was officially opened and Old Smokey would be the name puffing down the tracks
Town after town would have railing with the countryside being the trailing
Old Smokey bound with the choo choo sound
Old Smokey captured my heart, but heritage with a past, and acceleration in being fast.

Testimony after Testimony
Witness after witness
Prayers between stations
Praises which have connections
Gospel words on the morning subway ride
The spiritual blessings being the stride
Let the music be gospel
Let the praises be lifted up
The morning ride being the Lord’s spiritual cup
The riders all fellowshipping with one another
We are the brethren doing God’s work
Share the salvation on your subway ride
Gospel music being arranged and words of encouragement
“Heaven’s own being Faith that was always known, but through understanding, the blessings that became known”
As you head towards your jobs or whatever your destination, God will be there and always everywhere
As the enemy comes to hinder
Call on God and let him enter
No more to say then, “Thank you Lord for this day, and it’s my salvation going all the way”.

You smiled through your pain like a champ
You life complete being like a brightened amp
Your fans you made them laugh
Your comedy goes beyond any TV Script
But your personality is the tip
As the Mary Tyler Moore theme song would say, “You made it After All”

Yet I pay tribute being an honoring Dome
You will be missed
I extend my loving kiss
I won’t cry
There is no reason to explain why
I know you are with thy
You would say to your fans, remember me through the land
Your departure being an arrival in HEAVEN
Valerie Harper, you will be remembered as a Queen Of Comedy with a motto of “Live Until Done”
This is what kept you for years being among

I will always remember seeing you on TV and the entertainment you did provide
Rest in peace now
The thought of you passing still has that WOW
But Heaven stands for now
Heaven awaited, and you made it after all.

An elegant ball that gathered all
Pure Royalty expelled and the guest that stood tall
It was the Prince looking for his Queen
He wasn’t ugly and mean
The Prince was swab and no snob
Suddenly, a Female guest entered the ball
She wore a beautiful Gown with dazzling sequence
The Prince noticed her in the distance
The Female Guest had captured the Prince’s heart in captivation
The Prince walked over the Female guest and asked her for a dance and kissed her hand
At that moment, the ball was filled with romance
The music being just right
Oh what a night
Enchanted was like reading a fairytale
The other guest were drinking their Ale
Immediately, the Prince and the Female guest embraced in a kiss on the lips
Her eyes were closed
That kiss seemed to energize the Female guest
The Prince responded, “I found my Queen”
As the guest were leaving the ball, the female guest stayed behind at the request of the Prince
The Prince was definitely in love and so was the Female guest
The night was filled with interlude love and even the Moon had to smile
So how did the story conclude?
The Prince and his Queen were united in marriage with continued love ever after.

The thought of Justice
Given rights in the Constitution
RBG
It’s Judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg you see
She fought for Women’s Rights
It was at a time being a Women’s plight
Judge Ginsberg voice of persuasion
Her determination showing representation
Judge Ginsberg will be a legacy loss
She was one of Supreme Court’s victorious contributing force
The world will remember
Now Judge Ginsberg rests in Heaven’s slumber
Heaven has laws for her look at
Judge Ginsberg is now the Spiritual fact
Her work on Earth complete
Now her soul is in Heaven’s in God’s retreat
The Sundown was Judge Ginsberg work done
She is no longer among
Sunrise to Sundown being her footsteps
A Judge’s life in Heaven
Judge Ginsberg’s legacy is look up
I will be watching from Heaven above

A man who made people laugh and wonder
The man is Don Rickles whose soul has gone yonder
Laughter has turned into mourn
A smile from while
But this was Don Rickles style
I remember a movie Mr. Rickles appeared in called “Muscle Beach Party”
It was a laugh with frown
Don Rickles being known as Jack ***** in charge of a Bodybuilding Gym surrounded by Male Muscle men
Yet Mr. Rickle was the showcase in helping people enjoy life by being a comic
LAS VEGAS and HOLLYWOOD will never be the same
Lights, camera, but no Don Rickle
His life full of inspiration
Your jokes surrounded you
Hollywood has shut down the spotlight
Heaven was looking for Joy and Praise
Your name Don Rickles was the amaze
Thanks for making us all laugh
Your enthusiasm will always be remembered
But your comic detail will always be a reason to laugh
Your message in enjoy life as it only comes around once
But for us that is good advice
So long from a fan
Your Heavenly room was prepared
You were welcomed by Heaven in your eternal lair
Until we meet again.

The Hound having a strong moving bark
It’s ironic with being a solid ironman stark
The name Hound is actually Greyhound
It’s the Greyhound bus that has been around
It was once those shifting gears in motion sounds
But always moving from town to town
Highways have often seen the Greyhound trademark passing by
All one has to do is give Greyhound a try
Since then, Greyhound has a milestone of 100 years
In between there were questions in would Greyhound continue with operating fears
The end seemed ever so near
But Greyhound kept focused and preserved
Well as the years rolled on, Greyhound continued in the plan in being the transportation mode of the land
Today Greyhound is known as the blue bus
A trademark in travel and movement in no fuss
We marvel as the Greyhound presence is always known
But it’s your daily operations you always have shown
You’re the same Hound that always welcomes aboard
But it is your influence in helping passengers be assured
Like it or not
This is not an advertising plot
It’s all about giving Greyhound the traveling spotlight shot
A well established company that is still around
Greyhound is still transporting with any destination bound
But with all that I will leave alone
Greyhound your years have gone far, but it is the reason not needing to travel by car.

A wedding made like a fairytale
Somewhere in the church someone was drinking ale
But as the story goes
One never knows
The Groom and the best man all took their place
It was a picture taking moment no one will ever erase
Within moments, the wedding music started to play
The Bride in white being on cue the relay
Later, the Bride and Groom were standing side by side
The wedding being under God’s stride
After the Minister spoke, and the Bride and Groom said I do’s
The Pastor announced, “Husband and Wife”
Their married names were Mr. and Mrs Robert and Jennifer Stanford
Soon later, the married couple and bridal party marched up the church aisle waiting to meet and greet the wedding guest
The Honeymoon started the next morning for Bermuda
Following was a Bridal party of dance at every chance
A day of raise glasses up and lives together in bliss
Then came that romantic loving kiss
Let’s more up 2 years
Now it’s anger into fear
A separation is about to come near
The storm of marriage has taken place
The rage being something strange like from outer space
Robert and Jennifer argue all the time
Yelling and cursing all combined
Apparently Robert was caught cheating
A witness even saw Robert actually stealing
Later gunshots rang out
Immediately following silent was all about
Jennifer was dead in blood on the floor
The neighbors couldn’t ignore
Robert was on the run
Justice closing in
Jail time will soon begin
Till Death do us part, but one wasn’t very smart.

Court has commenced
Everyone is in court and the Jury is all set to begin
Grandmas Lawyer’s is ready
Santa is representing himself holding steady
The Judge has entered the court and the proceedings give begin in the gravel
Grandma is on the witness stand and sworn in
The Prosecutor asked Grandma to identify Santa in the room, and she points on the right
Grandma gives her testimony on what happened on the day in question
I had Egg Nog with a touch of Alcohol for the Winter cold for warmth before going out
Grandma explained as she walking, she was caught by surprise and run over by Santa’s Reindeers and Sleigh
The Prosecutor then responds to Grandma that she wasn’t alert in her right mind
Grandma’s Lawyer responds with an outburst bullying the witness
Judge responds with over ruled
The Prosecutor asks Grandma, Did you hear any jingle or bells in warning?
Grandma abruptly responded with NO
The Prosecutor then responds with, Grandma, I hope you don’t mind me calling you that, “You said you had Egg Nog with Alcohol to keep warm
If you were drinking that meant you were probably unstable
Where were you going?
Grandma stated, I was going to the store to pick up food and Soda’s for the Family get together on Christmas
The Prosecutor reminded that there were no witnesses and just you in the circumstance
You wasn’t sober, have no idea into whether you were run over by Santa’s Reindeers or a car
The Hospital records indicate that you were in fact intoxicated
There is no evidence that proves Santa and his Reindeer are at fault
It is now Santa’s turn to question Grandma
Do you have any personal feelings against Santa?
Grandma abruptly suggested, NO
Your remarks seem to state, that you are the one in question
Intoxication
Santa stated, I don’t drink, and always remain sober at all times
The shoe now is on the other foot
The Judge asks the Jury to deliberate their verdict
The Jury made their verdict as Santa and his Reindeers are innocent
There was no doubt because of strong evidence

America’s Bicentennial from 1776 – 1976
Tracing back to America’s roots having history Oh what a fit
I will highlight only a little bit
But you will get the foundation of American history being the tip
The America Freedom Train that travelled across the country
The train had a people mover, and artifacts that appeared as one would move
History a waits, there was enriched history to prove
I witnessed the whole accord personally at Belmont Race Track in New York
It was history during the signing of the Declaration of independence
Every elected official observed at Independence Hall
All eyes carefully saw
America became the American people’s promise
The creed, “We the People for the People”
Truly history was made
Words formed into a constitution
Yet statewide establishing into an institution
Abraham Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg
It was a time of the Civil War
It was a long battle for sure
Soldiers died and fatigue, but in order to win, the soldiers had to proceed
Abraham Lincoln’s speech within the ashes of a dimmed sunshine
Cannons having admonition smoke all combined
Words into tomorrow, but an emptiness full of sorrow
Yet Abraham Lincoln’s discerning words with leverage
But standing in solitude was a privilege
Battle cries having eyes
But inspiration from Heaven that keeps us all wise
An Icon became known to America’s roads
The name, Greyhound Bus Lines with Headlight blink and the stretched out Greyhound Dog to all in behold
A company started in 1914
Greyhound started as a car and continued in technological advances that took it into a future of their ride
The company was also took part in the Freedom Riders
Greyhound was the first motor coach company to install Restrooms aboard
Well Greyhound is still traveling coast to coast from West to East
The company continues to bloom
The American Freedom Train
There is much to remember and to look back
The American Freedom Train had the right track
Salute and applaud
Yet the accomplishments were strives made possible through our Lord.

My Grandmother would often sing, “By and By and we will understand after while”
But that was always my Grandmother’s Faith style
Yet my Grandmother would sing that very song in Church, but she herself knew the words and the church did utter a voice when my Grandmother sang that song
By and By
Live being every try
Struggles that sometimes will make you cry
But your eyes up and look high
The answer comes from thy
It’s the growing understanding phase
Through the understanding, you will witness the amaze
Heaven is testing one’s Faith
Having courage to believe
The valley below
Living is about and the accomplishments will be slow
Wisdom in years as one will continue to grow
Understanding with looking for a purpose
Reasoning with analyzing
When one looks back at their youth, understanding becomes the learning process
Living and growing with no time for recess
But I would often ask my Grandmother what did the By and By mean?
She simply sang in explanation, “By and By, you will  understand after while”
If you want to understand, “By and By in continue to learn as you live”
By and By is worth striving
Understanding is worth having
Wisdom that becomes everlasting.

All Halloween decorations were carefully hung
This Halloween is going to be out done
Scare will turn into intense fright
It will be this very night
Total Darkness with no lights
Halloween costumes that will glow in the dark
Movement of spirits of all kinds will be making their mark
The sound of loud screams
This Halloween will have a theme
“SCREAMS WITH A BITE”
Dracula will quench his thirst
Spirits will appear in a big outburst
Music will be played by a Dramatic *****
The song, “EVERLASTING Is yourDEATH”
Echoes of Enter if you dare
A Halloween that will not be forgotten beyond compare
Surprises with unknown expectations
Sounds with moans and cracks
Touches from everywhere having a track
A Night the Stars and Moon don’t shine
Disturbances of all combined
Sweets being human flesh
A stroke of Midnight by a Loud bell ringing clock
The night will have truly begun
But will you be standing still among?
Halloween of Trick and Treat Delight
Fright and continuous fright
Switches with no lights
Halloween begins
Could it all be your end?
You won’t be able to pretend
Hercules arrives in what he can bend
Uncertainty throughout the night
It’s not a dream
Do you hear a running stream?
Is your heart in overdrive?
You can’t take anymore
You can’t take anymore
Your mind isn’t sure
Expect Halloween to be nothing but galore
This Halloween will even the score
Halloween now Scream
Happy Halloween has set the scene.

I want to be someone mysterious
A point of surprise
Being understood but yet wise
Perhaps being rich and spreading the wealth
I don’t want to be like everybody else
But a real dramatic role
Having scripting lines being the best ever told
Eyes with tears in confronting my fears
I was told I don’t have much time to live
My dramatic role would be everything that I would give
Maybe keep the audience laughing
The kitchen with an oven with its own surprise
A Seven Layer cake that was supposed to rise
Yet it just disappeared in the audience eyes
No matter how much frosting would be put on
The cake was more like a pancake for the morning yond
But I would let the audience respond
The killer in the room with a gun
I would become the **** Tracy Investigator checking clues among
I probably would be more like Angela Langsbury from ****** She Wrote with examining the clues with full run
My dramatic experience, stand for freedom
Having dignity and pride
I stand for all in where I preside
Well those are some of the roles I could possibly play
As the curtain goes down, I have taken my bow
That’s all the time that will allow.

Some people will play you for a fool
But some even want to be cruel
Yet what they don’t understand
There is a God that controls the entire land
Their wants are not my needs, and my survival is how I proceed
My expense will not be nobody’s debt
This is no secret being kept
A user’s request should not get a response
Why be used in the first place?
It would be unnecessary energy being a waste
Users either want your talent or something you have but too cheap to get
Their loss and not a regret
I earned what I achieved
I don’t give out being used for someone to receive
Users only want to deceive
They have no caring heart
Don’t give users a head start
My sincerity is what makes my mark
No one can tell me otherwise
I am my own enterprise
Users have no base
Run but don’t participate in the chase
Users look in the mirror and be truthful to yourself
Don’t try to act like everybody else
How would you feel if you were used?
It would only amount to refuse
Right now you might be confused
But users beware
Now I did try to be fair
I have common sense
It’s called intelligence and wisdom
If you are going to use someone, you may not make it to the kingdom
Users only score zero
Yet they think they are gaining
But users are all alone with nothing remaining.

A speeding star or spaceship, no it’s SUPERMAN
Only a bat can tell who knows and sees, but as a caped crusader, one can feel the breeze being BATMAN
The Legend Of Justice, but the dialog being doom
A fight to the finish
But who will be victorious and distinguished
Both knowing good from wrong
A part where Evil doesn’t belong
Saving lives and combating crime for as long
Yet a fight that will go on
Ethnics where credit is due
But what challenger will come through?
The sun has turned completely red
The moon has turned a shaded black
The moment being the attack
But the innocent need to just stand back
Blows into throws
Imaginations drawing conclusions
A fight that might be long
A thought, what Marvel Hero should belong?
A past being a comic book
It was a boy’s look
One Marvel Hero fell
But I won’t tell
See the Movie for your own swell.

With every Chocolate Hershey Kiss
It’s the sweet taste that no one can miss
The chocolate colorful holiday wrappers
The thought of holiday shoppers
One wishes Christmas could last forever
The tasteful feel
The Hershey Kiss making the holiday complete
The feeling is like the Bethlehem Star, what could be so neat?
Joy with excitement
Blessings in anticipation
Gathered together with family and friends in participation
The Hershey Kiss is the holiday appreciation
Don’t leave the house without the Hershey Kiss
The holiday Bliss
Embrace in family and friends
Savor the flavor as a togetherness blend
Hershey Kiss out

Working hard in a town of one
Slave masters forcing work to be done
The sun beams down on my skin causing it to be cooked
The whips upon whips feeling more like a pirate hook
Blood running over my scars that never heal
This is my experience feeling for real
Plantation owners laugh like it is no big deal
Yet the wounds of hurt is how I feel
My soul cries in the Lord’s name
It’s the Devil’s wrath being the blame
My eyes often question why am I a Slave?
Why am I being forced to behave?
My skin color being what the Lord created
Yet the superior thought with eyes of hatred
The night moon being the lantern among the many prayers guiding from Heaven
My prayers sustaining into battle cries
Yet the hope that continues for me to be wise
The biblical songs of one’s hope
The musical words in what helps me cope
I am a person with a right to be free
God is the answer and leader who holds the key
This is our spirit as slaves between the marvelous thee
The sunrise I cannot see, but there is a horizon that shall be
There will come a time, we as slaves won’t be beat anymore
I see the vision like a seashore, and its prayers definitely for sure
One day the slave master will be the one to be beat
God is our shield that will conquer defeat
A town being a silent one
But our continued prayers that will never be out done
Being a slave for years, but it is true wisdom that will help preserver.

Jesus and the Devil in an Arm Wrestling fight
The battle between light and darkness with no light
Praise determining might with fire as a plight
Revelation challenging speculation
Darkness sees a match with no defeat
The reality that the Devil wants the Lord to retreat
Heavenly bond with stability in feat
Yet light and fire to the finish
Who will win out being distinguished?
Jesus has the power to win
The Devil wants Jesus and the world to give in
Jesus is the savior with a record of divine victory
The chapter being the end of story
However, there is power with glory
The Devil certainly decline and become history
Who says Evil can always win out?
Yet the roar of Thunder, and Lightening being God’s voice is what I am talking about
Arm Wrestling with the Devil going into a bend
Jesus is clearly the winner from beginning to end.

Cruising on the seven seas
Out on the ocean and just feel that breeze
There was a dance that night
It was going to be a lover’s delight
The power of love will go beyond being polite
Hearts spread everywhere
A lover’s night that can’t compare
Lips being the perk
The moon giving the feeling of passion in being berserk
Then while in the ship’s stateroom, a romantic interlude of two in
“Do Not Distrub”
Lover’s will be caught up in their own observe
A new freshness in the air
Lovers with a renewed response
A ship and the seven seas
The feeling of being at ease.

Who will be the right Presidential candidate pick?
Whose agenda’s that captured well in the stick?
One must be able to stand in the White House
When it comes to being the Commander in Chief, one cannot act like a frightened mouse
Create Peace where all possible
Have policies that will be able
Attention to the American Flag
Be a President, but don’t be a drag
The world that sees the U.S. President as an ally
A Constitution that brings harmony and Peace in world try
Wars in not being destruction of lives that makes the world cry

American Voters examining candidates like a microscope
A world where everyone can cope
Millionaires should not get favors being their right
A media broadcast should not become a plight
The American people should not have to sit and remain uptight
Today’s lives come with no portion being bright

Bring us out of the tunnel and into the light
A new day with a new vision in plain sight
Tomorrow is here, but need a President that will take us there
The vote is in America’s hands, and comes with total assurance at their demand
It’s up to you and the Presidential candidate must come through
“VOTERS UNITE, AND THE ELECTION WE CAN IGNITE”.

A night where all creatures became confused
It was humans thinking the world was their excused
The moon seemed to turn beyond the norm
It’s the earth giving the world a warn
The bible of Revelations stated what was too come
But was this the moment of gloom?
Scientist couldn’t figure out
Electronic equipment offered no theory in what the phenomenon was all about
The people on earth panic and cries in shout
Now even the Meteorologist couldn’t figure out
However the moon seemed to smile
It was all through during while
A moment being sudden
It was causing human mood swing making personalities toughen
But wonders on everyone’s mind of when
Was this God’s warning on the Earth’s End?

Hopped on a Greyhound bus
Changing new surroundings was a must
The Greyhound bus was its exhaust and us
The bus changed highways to a dusty road
To my surprise, the open space in behold
Dust was flying all over the place
Our picture view windows casted scenery of erase
Nonetheless moving from the town from within
This will be a new start from then
The Greyhound dog is all stretched out wide
It’s me in the Greyhound bus with no where to hide
Looking forward to9 arriving at my destination stop
It is only second with a mire hop
The dust that is behind is known as dust
It’s nighttime so headlights are a must
The dirt road with my stop around the bend
Later my trip will finally come to an end.

Sound familiar?
It’s an announcement often made by Greyhound
Destinations can be anywhere across the country
Stops in between
Sometimes passengers can be mean
Then there is others who just want to make a scene
But travel in taking the bus at holiday time
Friends you make as you ride
Recline in the seat and take in the stride
The thought of arriving at any destination all doing while
The Family Get together
It doesn’t matter what the weather
Every Thanksgiving all having smiles
Leftover Thanksgiving meal that could last a month
You stuffed beyond end
The thought of a diet that might have to begin
It’s always Greyhound bringing me closer to my family
A road that connects family relationships
The vision of Thanksgiving throughout the trip
My hat off to the Greyhound way
Singing Gooble Gooble all I can say.

The wizardry in how the Poet opens your mind
A destiny in having a quest with reader following
Now that I got your attention, let’s go deeper into the subject
Into an unknown horizon
The journey accelerating in go
But let’s take a moment, and concentrate Slow
Close your eyes and let your mind wonder beyond
But remember, Poetry has a lot to look upon
Imagine waking up from a yond, and an idea popped into your head
You started writing something even while you were in bed
It was a time when you wrote about yourself
The Poet is actually illustrating the inner self
Poetry comes as the theory of capable
Then inspiration showing able
Poetry then surprises he or herself
This is what Poetry is all about
A Poet being a motivator in encouraging your day
There’s a left and a right, so the Poet leads the way
Poet provides that it’s ok in not knowing how to write
This goes further than you think in a Poet just being polite
It’s about having enthusiasm and having joy in excite
Poetry brings the emotion and helping the reader arrive at dramatics
Applying simple terms and reader achieving understanding
Destination words with the arrival in conclude
It’s like a night moon and the feeling in relaxed as you are in a calm soothe
Poetry has everything to prove as it sets the mood and the moment from where you stood.

The Night of the Christmas Bus
Holiday accented all decked out
People observed as it was moving about
Santa was aboard
** ** ** accord
Santa told a Christmas story of the Christmas Bus
The children were aboard being a plus
Children were all sitting in their reclining chairs
They listened carefully with care
The Christmas bus that journeyed to the North Pole
As Santa narrated, the wonder became behold
The bus arrived at Bus Toyland
All kinds of scale buses were there
Each had their own stories to share
All the scale buses were of all kinds
They all unique and genuine
Some had operating lights
Others made engine starting sounds
There were some that were remote controls that were found
The scale buses would capture a child’s delight
However, Santa has a bus story to tell tonight
There was a European bus sitting all alone
No momentum and not full blown
The European scale bus was considered as a misfit because of a weird design
Every bus should be in a child’s hand
This is the Christmas Bus Caravan
The other scale bus models were singing, “We are buses for every Boy and Girl, it will bring them joy to enjoy”
But that didn’t settle for the poor European scale bus
There was no fuss
Misfit is a European Scale bus that sits in a corner
All neglected
But that is about to change
The story relishes with a rearrange
Santa felt bad about the whole ordeal
A child’s heart is warmth being for real
Santa abruptly shouted, “Every bus deserves a chance being part of a child’s heart as the holiday season is about joy and love being the reason
Santa thought to himself, what a wonderful idea, and a misfit European bus no more
The misfit European scale bus was told his, and Santa and the other scale buses saw the Flashing headlights of approval
By the time Santa finished the story, the children had felt a sleep, and dreaming deep of buses to keep
Imagine Christmas morning when the children woke up
There would be cocoa filled in their cup
It’s the midnight hour, Santa is busy with the Elf’s packing all the toy buses for the night ride
Santa said Off Greyhound, Trailways, Coach USA and Academy and into wintry road
We have a schedule and must be on-time
As you know, Santa is genuine
Christmas cheer as Santa preservers
Buses travel during the night to touch a child’s heart
Dash away Dash away
Buses rolled into their getaway

It is always best to start at the beginning
But this is fast forward picking various points before reaching an ending
Time acceleration
Given moments being every celebration
My footsteps have moved ahead before I can keep up
There is a pace
One must act like it is a race
Fast forward into new time
Yours and mine totally life
The accelerating clock
Some people have said it is simply a version of mock
Life has revolved more than anybody knows
It’s reality being the show
I am alone with my only thoughts
My tears were once nightmares
I didn’t want to wake up
I felt I had fallen from the skies
You asked and the question is why?
Failure had come into my mind
But revelation became a solid boundary
However I hadn’t failed but fast forward caught me by surprise
Sometimes one must realize
Understanding is what makes you wise
Efforts is like a credit
It’s called merit
So Fast Forward moved
Yet my inner soul was running on smooth
There was everything to prove
It came with leverage being a move
Fast forward in being like a river stream
The elevation in being concise with quickness with capability and fulfillment focused on reality.

A man having the looks and charm as a precious diamond
Don Wand is no simple salmon
He is a man of romance like a God
But so many woman thinks he is a pure dog
Don Wand’s eyes with one look could melt butter
He had the power with his every glance
Don Wand made the woman feel hot deep down
It was like a trap being bound
Don Wand’s kiss had the power to put woman in a trance
It was the hypothesis in his advance
Even the trees in the forest would bow as if Don Wand was a King
It was his demeanor being the thing
Don Wand knew words in how to persuade
It was Don Wand being Don Wand making it in the shade
A loving man that Heaven had made
A loving heart that beats with exhalt
The fortitude solid as a Fort.

Silence opens the door
Bulls eye on the victim becoming explore
A footsteps precise trail
Death being the suspense in preserver
The victim is fast asleep
The murderer is moving swiftly like a sheep
Suddenly without warning, the murderer’s hands are choking the victim around the neck
Seeming fatigue but with a touch of peck
The murderer quickly vanishes out the door
No fingerprints have been determined in evidence being sure
The murderer continues to run loose
But not very far like a moose
A trail is being investigated in
Police are combing the streets in search of begin
Somewhere down the line, the murderer will meet his end.

How was the West really won?
Also how a sunset meant you were done
In a town called CENTER GULCH, TEXAS, it was a busy affair of stagecoaches and Sheriff Toby Jackson
He was a Sheriff that kept order in town being his action
But it took a little persuasion
Those stagecoaches in their days made your **** so sore
The whole idea, why would anyone want to explore?
But what transportation mode did you have then?
The Hound bus didn’t come until when
Then there were some attacking Indians storming through Center Gulch
Go ahead, you can budge
But now it is the Sheriff Jackson and the Indian Chief Red Devil face to face
The sun above was beating down hard
But wait a minute that’s my heart pounding
There was a stillness, and feeling of uncertainness
Sheriff Jackson had his gun ready with his hands at his side, and Indian Chief Red Devil with arrows ready to shoot
But suddenly from Borderville, some mean looking Villians had the shot the Sheriff and the Indian Chief
Immediately there was no relief
The Villains escaped in the winding hills
We are left with one big still
However an adventure that had you in a moment of will
End of story
Until next time being another glory
A sunrise that was and a sunset of the west days
We bid the tumbleweed goodbye
Here’s dust in your eye.

My wife told me she invited Santa to dinner
But it is not Christmas and this is summer, but should I let him enter?
What shall we serve?
Should it be potluck at the last minute and is this what Santa deserves?
However, Santa will bring his reindeer troop
They are big enough to be their own group
The meal must be done right
The stars are giving the wink in get cracking tonight
Otherwise when Christmas finally comes, my house could become a drive over by
Then my Children will start to cry
Every effort on my part being a try
Santa’s ** ** ** will be an affirmative NO
Then I will respond with SO
I need someone to feel me on this
Because my Wife may not give me a kiss
I can only image Santa passing my house for the first time
All of the coal that would be mine
Now I guess I could serve some nice champagne
But if Santa gets drunk, guess who will be the blame?
I can just see the Headline, ”Santa gets a ticket for being drunk”
All the children around the world would a lot of bunk
Well Santa has the invite
Now as the Host, I must be polite
Otherwise, it will be a guest of probably might
But for now I extend my Good Night.

Ingredients being the surprise
But just the simmer the flavor that makes you wise
The Baked Potato of words to peel
The salad of everything coming together with the Salad Dressing of emotions being real
The meat being the solid contrast within words written
Just let the words digest after being eaten
Take in the aroma and the let the words dazzle your senses
What’s cooking in your oven mind?
Did you preheat your words?
A good serving of words with hearty details
Fill your wordy cup high to the prim
Now write and just let the reader take it all in
Fresh from the oven
Poetry words you haven’t heard
Words with fire come with the desire
As a Poet, it’s all about inspire
Well the *** of words is all tender and done
Have you been served in the poetry meal?
It’s not a McDonalds nor Burger king
It’s poetry being the thing.
