ARMY SERGEANT JOHN KEYS

Been in the army for years
Devoted and committed
Sergeant Keys is a born Leader
His Army Soldiers understand
Base after Base at his command
Tough at Exercise drills
Be all you can be to fulfill
Preparation for an uncertain battle
Sergeant Keys Soldiers to mold
Discipline in being told
The Army Uniform in taking pride
Life living guide
It was a sacrifice moving up the ranks
Yet Sergeant Keys gives the army thanks
The Army wasn’t easy
For good reason, in order to become a true Sergeant, one must be able and deserving for the task
After all, the Army is devoted into turning Soldiers into courageous men
Chosen and enabled
Must be victorious
Sergeant Key being the Commanding figure
Army Uniform picture perfect
Sergeant Keys having the right leverage
The stance
Followed by Salute

Theme Fireworks Poet

The vision of colors
Words that intensify with every varying assortment
When it comes to spectacular, it’s the amazement in what is to come, and what was transcribed 
Beauty in every letter in what they provide
Suppose with no oppose
Every thought captured at the right moment of the angle
A Poet composes every night within
Sometimes bright stars or nightmare element dialog
Imagine fireworks surrounded by the dazzle Poet with their own writing explosion
Explosion
The mind with on a river in mine capturing all the components of delight
Picture the Poet like a Lighthouse being a guiding light
Expectation beyond
Fireworks after fireworks
Preparation and detail
Poet on sight
Get ready for the writing explosive night
No look up just a hook up
Razzle and Dazzle

DIARY OF A BLACKMAN

Diary written within the mind of experiences
Instances with boundaries
The fears within
The Black Man being the Center Man
Spotlight and focus
Acceptances and rejections
Battling the world as if in the military
Times of tears
Being the Black Man meant
Is the world ready to handle to connect
Introspective
Knowing the Black Man will always be a Black Man
Prepared in all circumstances and situations
Compromise but will never surrender
The Black Man Principle
Complexity and Official
Black Man feelings
Unassured and lack confident
A world that doesn’t understand, but label the Blackman’s role
Assertive when needing to be
Black and Brown color trait
Racism high society
The Diary
Black Man
Survival
Commitment and Responsibility
Black Men are taking their place.

BEATING THE ODDS

Mother Smith who was 104 years old
Beating the Odds in her life
Seen, Heard and Challenged
Being negatively that she won’t succeed
She went to college and got her BACHELORS DEGREE in EDUCATION
It seemed every excuse had a mission for Mother Smith to fail
Mother Smith then went to Graduate School and got her MASTERS
DEGREE
Not believing what the oppression wanted her to believe as she stayed focus, and determine to prove them wrong
Mother Smith lived the turmoil and anguish of voting rights during her time
Being Black, you had no right to vote
Exercising that right was prohibited during the Jim Crow Days
Mother Smith being a woman of Faith, Character and Dignity challenged those laws
She was going to vote no matter what
Mother Smith didn’t be still nor quite it
She made noises with her voice like a woodman’s Ax
She wasn’t going to surrender, but take aim at her own virtues
Her self-esteem ventured through courage and understanding
Inadequate wasn’t in her vocabulary
Being a proud 
Black woman through academics
She was born American, achieving in America and standing for all people
Mother Smith was a statement of principle and valor
No blockade was going to keep her from voting as it was a given right
I consider her a Preparatory Warrior with a mission in her mind, and
Voting rights was her bulls eye target
Mother Smith simply “STEPED UP BEING FED UP
Destiny may have seemed far, but she brought it closer 
Her heart honest and true
She had to pursue
Her encouraging words to our young people would be “MEASURE UP AND STAND UP”
Be the Man and Woman you were meant to be
Show the world and let them see
Mother Smith conquered and prospered
Her tomorrow came, and it was a new day
Welcome up, your place is ready
The Lord said, “Good and Faithful servant a job well done. I am pleased
Mother Smith was a member of my church, and died at 104
Her wisdom and understanding carried her
Her honor will carry all through her courage
Destiny is more than a direction, it’s a movement of fulfillment
Mother Smith’s motto would be “Shine like beacons my children as your future will be shining bright. You are the stars of tomorrow, but it starts today. Be courageous stepping out, and never stop learning through a Never Ending Process as you are the product into what will be developed in all your endeavors”
Seek, Find and Discover
Mother Smith’s wisdom assured and accounted.

RISE UP THROUGH ALPHA LETTERS

Please let me have your attention
Encouraging you to write being a representation
Writing offers artistry in your own sensation
One alpha character at a time
Some dreamed while others remained committed and wrote
Writers and Poets of the past took writing to a whole different level
Begin, assured, Committed and fulfilled
Something you might have read and words stuck in your mind like writers before from the past
You often felt, you wished you could write like novelist and Poets
from prior
You feel frightened to pursue
Here is your opportunity in encouragement in can do
All it takes is effort and courage
Nothing scientific
The THOUGHT, CONCEPT, THEORY, EXPRESSION all written down
The ingredient of reality
Think on the sentences being your coach in the writing guide
You must provide
What comes from your mind will be a surprise
A writer to be for all times
Your words becoming element being the possibilities
The construct establishing assemble
Think on writing like a component like a puzzle
Every piece forming a masterpiece in direction
Artistry writing creation
Just that simple
Cut and dry
Practice makes perfect
Sit down and write daily
Observe what it becomes
Amazement will be your voice
Not anyone’s voice, but your own choose
What are you waiting for?
Let no one discourage
Destiny calls
Don’t stall
Rise Up
Writing leverage.

Tears I Can Only Count

My time in fear
Rejection in not wanting anyone near
My tears are my experiences I saw
My mind told me to completely ignore
No flourish to soar
My tears pour heavy
They are like a Dam levy
But they are holding steady
How do I overcome?
I am surrounded by lonesome
My tears are next to none
I must step out in courage
That is the only way to nourish
Tears come at a moment’s notice
My tears show I have no confidence
It’s obvious in an instance
No matter how tears fall
I must be able and not stall
I feel more of a regret
My tears have that effect
Stop now tears
This is the right time to preserver
Encourage me and come near
My tears have drawn back
My darkness is no longer black
I am responding now in just reflect
My moment being a detect.

POPCORN MAN

A male performer being a Pop Music Star
From start to finish
This is what makes a Popcorn Man distinguished
There’s more
A Male Pop Star can take music to different levels in the lows and high’s
Popcorn quality entertainment
Flavor of attire
Performances that never seem to expire
Music lives on
Tone and rhythm
Talent of its own
Full Blown
Popcorn Man that has arrived and never depart
A true stand alone

CIVIL RIGHTS EYES

The march and Chant
We Shall Overcome and we can
We must be on the mission shall
On Dr. King’s Birthday, we must do more than just reflect on his accomplishment and establishment
A call for action
Civil Rights call
Dr. King’s vision is still among us
His Legacy reigns 
Stand Up with Head Up
It’s dignity and Reality
We have abilities and assurance
We are the strength in endurance
Dr. King’s influence
There is a cause and we are the effect
It matters when and how
We are the now
A need for change and rearrange
No time to blame
Civil Rights aim
Bulls eye right on target
Dr. King wants us to wake up and not pause on his dream
Waters are flowing and we can’t just let go dry
We are America
Be ever proud
This is all Races time
Dr. King wants us to all to come together and converse
His message is clear in how we will preserver
Dr. King is looking down on us from Heaven and wondering
Did his cause die in vain?
The mission he couldn’t finish must be continued
There is work to be done if we intend to be among
Dr. King was the purpose and we are the supporters yet to walk in Dr. King’s footsteps
Step by step ever Civil Rights closer
The Lord says, “I am the world’s firm foundation”
The creation being Mighty
Don’t settle, but speak out
Don’t be still, but have a determined will
Civil Rights is still needed to fulfill
Dr. King’s birthday I couldn’t let go by
Let us all fight for Civil Rights and have courage in the movement to try
Dr. King wants us to stand with him and in honor of him
I still hear the echoes of “WE SHALL OVERCOME”.

HELL’S PROCLAMATION VS HEAVEN’S REIGN

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
			Heaven’s reign
