The Art of Assistance

Henery X, 2026 ©

I don't use big words, I use words in a big way

My intent determines what I eventually say

And seeing my intentions are always pure

It'll be something uplifting for sure

Creativity ensures I endure

Beyond all moments

What I did in the past are my only opponents

See, I'm always out to outdo what I've already done

With a mentality like this, I'll always be labeled second to none

I don't compete

To eat

Here's a plate, take a seat

Outside of what I've already done, hatred and poverty are the only other things I'm out to defeat

I'm from a different breed

Where it doesn't matter if I follow or if lead

Where need overshadows greed

I truly want everyone to succeed

This is how I don't block my blessings

And provide easy to comprehend lessons

I must confess, these are my confessions

That I'm proud to claim

I'm here to help you overstand, your rules, should dictate your game

And that your primary aim

Should never be fortune or fame

But to establish a good name

See, your name will govern your legacy

It'll live on beyond your life expectancy

And it could play a part in your child's destiny

So, always think before you act, and once you act, never think twice about your decisions

Have faith in your choices like you do with your religions

This is how you'll provide provisions

That will perpetually change conditions

Remember. I’m not here to convince you to believe. I’m here to offer you something else to consider.

May your success continue to exceed your highest expectations.
