Freedom freed them But didnt free dumb A free dome is not known In this home where the buffalo moaned The other man roamed Renamed every stone O-press tho change-o Makin new clones Time is on loan Heavy is the tone Freedom stands alone Haakim U. © 2018

That which I give my attention will manifest itself in its own time… There are times when intentions don’t gel with time Times when time permits not When will is slow to meet passion and action fails to suffice Then there are times when too much is too soon and too little too late As destiny wilts at the laughter of fate when the thought is past its due date When the goal and intention is pure and honorable Yet the clock mocks making character vulnerable Time is the essence of make or break of promise in word Rise to that verb that bonds you to the most valuable of virtues Be it swift or steady mind not Stick to the script and don’t stop Til it is shown and proven Concious and guilt of inability is mine enemy We do what we can so don’t ask more of me © Haakim Understanding 2016

In my own time...
It's that third chakra. That center of your chest that vibrates Makes or breaks your mettle That shyt that won't let you settle Won't allow you to stagnate Solar plexus Fired up kettle Pushes and drives you To work that talent Find that balance Meet that challenge Black coal heart burns but shines with the heat The sun in you The rays of hue Insistent beat Anxious but mellow Color me yellow Bright and warm Flush with energy Brewing storm World on alert Stars are aligned Even losers get lucky sometimes Turning lemons to limes Popping wheelies on the middle line Bricks in the road turned yellow About time Um, about that line The black heart one The balance will come Just keep in mind Some gold rocks start out black They are just unrefined Yellow is the chakra of success, You'll get there in time Don't let the glitter **** with your mind Go ahead and plant that seed And don't get it twisted You might have to give up on what you want In order to get what you need...

Riding on the back of a dragonfly Super fast and furious Stop and hover for awhile To contemplate the curious Maybe race some bees Or check on some mosquitoes Tailgate an eagle Just to see where he goes I might hang out with butterflies They never seem to worry much I notice when they're being chased They're never ever in a rush I'll dart around some children's heads Just to make them try to touch Hear them laugh and giggle My favorite sound gives me a rush Spring is springing And all is good Zipping in and out the woods This is nature It's my hood Won't you visit if you could?

Grief makes you want to blend in with darkness in mindless fixation Even welcome the evacuation of feeling 'cause that too is sensation Thoughts and images reeling Stewing in a cauldron of frustration This ... ...This ... This... Just ain't right. This ain't just, right? The universe got it wrong this time Universe - all just is this quiz WHY??? WHY??? That eternal query Whose answer stays buried Germinating confusion In flashes of illusion Nay but it is... Real conclusion. We lose some We had some Wasn't yours, um Give it back Time is up. Done. End of track. Run Run those tears that trapped in Those fears Run those tracks that trace All the years That are no more. Those tears that bore Through ducts of memories Holed up in store Eroding the core of gladness Fueling flames of madness This grief I have Just let me blend in with this darkness .. . -Haakim Understanding 9/2016

Grieve
Her beauty gave me life when it took my breath I mean so arresting! How can I protest? This must be in jest But, convince my chest That houses this heart on its blinded quest It wants what it wants What it wants only taunts And here she is now in front of me all graceful with her flaunts If only I were bolder But **** just to hold her! I smile a shy blush Hiding how I crush Timing is everything All rewards are just For the right chemistry I'll wait ... I must... -Haakim Understanding 9/19/2016

Transference of energy Civilized from synergy Resisting descendancy Into mass lunacy Ballance is dependency On each other equally Step inside to see clearly Mind's eye ascendency... © 2017 Haakim Understanding...

Love
If I go a day without thinking of you my nights are consumed with visions of you those eyes that provoke fantasy, your soul's windows burn right through me. The shape of your face, curve of your smile... the way you put your hair in that whimsical style... I left too soon. I knew it then. I had to prove to myself you were right, with the hopes you were wrong. This experiment has gone  too long. Keeping a distance cause I want to be closer, Let me grow on you show you a thing or two Maybe you can show me something new. Open enough to let you be my teacher you'll have my full attention fascinating creature. Each day should be different as I look at you with a new eye. Be a stranger to me That I can always be mezmerized be my constant new discovery while my mind flies on flights of fancy Mentally painting a new fantasy of you smiling that smile when you look at me...
