  Unlocking the Power of Honor: A Guiding Light for Our Tribe's Future In a world where words often lose their meaning amidst the noise, "Honor" stands tall, embodying a profound truth that resonates deeply within the soul of our community. As we navigate the complexities of modern existence, it's essential to return to the roots that define us, leveraging the timeless principles of Honor, Loyalty, and Sacrifice to forge a path forward. This exploration isn't just about understanding a concept; it's about redefining our collective destiny through the lens of integrity and truth. As a community committed to empowerment and personal growth, we dive deep into the essence of Honor—dissecting its impact on our lives and our interactions with each other. This isn't just an article; it's a manifesto for those ready to embody the true meaning of Honor in their lives, propelling our tribe towards unprecedented heights of unity and strength.

What is the Universe expanding into

Image
If the Universe/ is expanding, then what is/ it expanding in? This is a question that I hear more and more frequently, and it has been rolling around in my mind. This is a thought that may change the very way that we look at the universe that we are in. Those of us that are on the journey may need to look at this question and discuss it. Because a question that is this big can change the life of those that are bold enough to ask and meditate on it. So ask the question and wait for the answer to come and change you.

Spoiled

Image
Why spoil your children/ Then send them to public school/ Expecting some growth/ This Ha2ku is not just about spoiled kids, and then again it is. If we want to set standards for ourselves and others that is cool, but when we expect and even in some cases demand that others abide by these standards, we are not being realistic. I think that every parent, every lover, and every friend should spoil those closest to them, but to do this and not prepare them for the cold world is setting the spoiled up for a terrible crash. When the spoiled are flung into an environment that is not designed to cater to them they may not be able to handle the situation, which can lead to failure. This thought hit me as I was dealing with some young people that could not adjust to the school environment. When we spoil individuals then we need to willing to provide and give them what they need. For example, if you feel that you need to spoil and smother your child with attention then "Home School"

Rainy days give us/ a chance to put out what we/ need cleaned in our lives/ Rainy days.... what is it about rainy days that seems to slow everything down. Being on my Journey I am forced to recognize what rainy days do for me. They allow me to slow down and clean up those rough spots in my life. Like the rain cleans the air and the environment, it also helps you clean those rough areas inside you. Take your rainy days to clean yourself up. Nuff said Peace & 1hunidyears

Look at yourselves. Some of you students, teenagers. How do you think I feel and I belong to a generation ahead of you - how do you think I feel to have to tell you, 'We, my generation, sat around like a knot on a wall while the whole world was fighting for its human rights - and you've got to be born into a society where you still have that same fight.' What did we do, who preceded you? I'll tell you what we did. Nothing. And don't you Malcom X Brother Ha2tim SelfMasteryCoach Nation Builder HipHop Philosopha & Shaman

Giving good speeches/ does not necessarily/ equals leadership/ It seems that we have confused the concept of leadership, with a good orator. Leadership for me is not about being able to loop together good sound bites, but more about being able to do, and make things happen. I have seen many a great speaker that when it came to crunch time could not lead him or herself to the restroom. I have also run into leaders that could not string together a good speech to save their life, but knew how to command a group. Then of course you have those who can do both. I just wanted to speak on this subject because I feel that the people of the world today are being given talking head leadership. Individuals who have been selected for their positions because they could recite a good speech, and move some emotion. It is time that we move beyond that, at least those of us on the Journey. We need to begin judging some of these so called leaders on what they have accomplished, rather than what they

Notch or Jewel

Are you a notch in/ Someone's belt or are you a/ Jewel in their crown? How much do you value yourself? Do you allow yourself to be abused and used by others? Then maybe this Ha2ku is for you. Read it and if you need it you can have it. Just stop allowing yourself to be a notch when you really are a JEWEL. Nuff said Peace & 1hunidyears

Suns rise

Image
I was blessed to be picked up by 3 of my sons recently and they taught me an important lesson that will resonate with me forever. They discussed with me their personal life goals. Sometimes I felt that all my talking was wasted but young folks always hear. They proved that my metaphore for life is true. Our children are like trees that take years to grow. Just take care of them, keep as many pest away as possible, and fertilize them with your ideas. Then one day they will begin to bare fruit. As I sat and listened and conversed with these young men they made me proud. Because they all were talking about going into business for themselves. To sit their and see my young suns rise brought a light to my heart, and let me know that no matter how hard the Journey may be or may get in the end it is worth it. I would encourage everyone that reads this short article to take some time on your walk and invest in the next generation. Your pay back will be watching them blossom and bear fruit, an

To thine ownself be true- Hip-Hop fable

Image
This story was inspired by a tale by Aesop called the "astronomer". Once their was a young MC, who had won many battles in his city. This MC was able to copy and style and master it. He constantly listened to the music of his favorite rhymers and could out flow them on their tracks. One day this young MC was invited to a studio of a top producer to demonstrate his skills on the mic. This was the day that this young MC had been waiting for. He listened to his favorite artist all night preparing his rhymes for his session. When the artist entered the studio, he was immediately walked to the booth by this legendary producer. The beat was dropped and the MC was challenged to drop some rhymes freestyle. The Mc felt like he was up for the challenge. The beat dropped and the MC cut into like fire and his flow seemed to him to be perfect, but the producer stopped him and said the lyrics was hot but it sounded a lot like "Lil Sam" which just happen to be one this young

Speak out

Use words to speak out/ Words are your weapons/ use them to fight injustice/ In the fight against oppression often the only weapon granted to the oppress are the words of their mouth. This to many may seem like insufficient armament, but to those of you on the Journey you know the power of words. Words have the power to create or destroy for those who know how to use and spread them. Complaining in barber shops is just the start, you have to go further and push your words to where they can be heard by others especially those in a similar situation.  Put your words in poems, ha2ku, song, shouts, chants, raps, and/or articles. Let them be heard and they may be the weapon that slay the one whose foot is on your neck. Nuff said Peace & 1hunidyears

Golden MC- Hip-Hop fable

Image
Any similarities to any real life situations is purely a coincidence. This tale is simply an adaption of "the goose who laid the golden eggs." Once upon a time when the Game was pure and the Love for the art and culture was still alive, there was an rapper who was called the "Golden MC", because all his ryhmes seemed to turn to gold. His fans flocked to stores to buy everything he put out, and his shows would always sell out. When he wrote a song it seemed to touch his listeners hearts, sparked their imaginations and excited thier passions. When he put out an album it seemed that he shaped reality. He developed a cult like following to the point that everything he touched and wore people seemed to flock to copy which meant that he not only sold records, but he was able to sell clothes, glasses, alcohol, and etc.. This golden MC belonged to a crew of friends that was led by a power hungry individual, and he wanted all the money he could get now. He didn'
