His legend awoke
in misty smoke
From fancy, not fact
are memories stoked

The makings of a Messiah,
It’s not an ordinary feat,
It takes the lion-hearted to ascend the seat,
It’s not for the unopposed.
The makings of a Messiah,
It’s a higher calling,
Even when the elements are falling,
Purpose is an overwhelming push.
The makings of a Messiah,
Shrivelled like a flower in the heat,
Awakened by heaven's dew,
The unseen is the envoy.
The makings of a Messiah,
Unknown are the battles,
There’s a burning quest,
Courage will aid the conquest.

Hope dwells in us,
It’s a lighted splinter,
Waiting to be rekindled.
Hope is latent in us,
It comes to the fore
through us and by us.
Hope is that shadow that walks with us,
The lesser the light,
More it's readily available.
Hope sits in the dark with us,
It holds the periscope,
Encouraging us to look through.
Hope is a bird,
Its wings are strengthened
as we take strides.
The makings of hope,
Resides in us,
The emancipation of hope,
It’s our bidding.

THEY SAT TO DISCUSS WHO WOULD CREATE THE SCRIPT FOR BOTH FILMS.
SOME WANTED THE FILM TO CREATE AN IMAGE THAT THOSE WHO LIKED CERTAIN THINGS WOULD WANT TO SEE THE FILM.
IT WAS COMPLETELY FABRICATED LIES. "IF ANYONE THINKS THAT
MY EX HUSBAND WOULD HAVE BEEN SUCH A MEAN PERSON DOESN'T KNOW THIS BUSINESS.
THE GUY IN THE FILM WAS A NASTY FOOL. MY HUSBAND WAS A LOVING AND CARING MAN.
HE WASN'T KNOW SAINT BUT HE DIDN'T DO WHAT THEY SAID HE DID. AND WHEN HE MET LUCANIO HE DIDN'T OFFER HIM BEER, THEY DRANK THE FINEST WINES HONEY: THE FINEST WINES!"

When you were born on this day,
I'm glad The Most High gifted us with you
I wouldn't have it any other way
These are all an embodiment of one
Love, Respect, Trust, Honer, Strength, Compassion, empathy, Protection, Knowledge, Wisdom, Sound Advice, Authority, Husbandhood, Fatherhood, Brotherhood, and Friendship... And when all the others are not apparent, there is always, Love...
Because, these gifts and more, are what The MOST HIGH instilled in one of HIS greatest creations
These are all but an embodiment of one
These are all

What is a man?
Flesh and bone?
Heart and Soul?
All of these
or none
What is a man?
How are we to measure?
His Actions, Words, Appearance?
All of these
or none

the makings of
a madwo/man
growls in the
crowd as the
coming violence
bursts from
piercing eyes of
pure anger &
hatred for the
mold they feel
that’s brought
them to this point
with all the
emotions at their
disposal focused on
one concise point
of which they
feel only they
understand &
a clenched fist
at their side---
claiming to be
original in their
ideas about where
to go from here,
claiming that this
time will be the
time for a strong
hand to take control,
claiming that with
power they & they
alone can & will
fix things, claiming
all things completely
insane under the guise
of a peaceful face
in the mass.

The Makings of You
I am drawn to you
Like a moth to a flame
My conversation with you
Exceed something beyond game
Makes me want to say: ”She is the Truth”
Sexy mahogany complexion coupled with affection
Intelligence matched with elegance.
A combination of Heaven’s Design
Ahh.. she leaves wonder in my mind.
Although she appears soft-spoken
Her beauty and mind are thought-provoking
A blend rarer than a black pearl
In my mind, I got to make her my girl
Met a lot of women in the past,
Something in her makes me want this to last
Beyond the intoxication of infatuation
When we touch
Yes, this is the feeling I’ve been missing so much
I am lost in a haze of mystique
A woman that is so sexy, yet so sweet
5’2, luscious lips and curvaceous hips
A beautiful smile
A sophiscated style
Has me on a natural high, why?
These are the Makings of You
