Poem Commentary

Looking back at different times in life, produces regret, but looking back again, mistakes turn into hindsight blessings...

CAN'T TAKE BACK WHAT I DONE PUT IN

Easy,  Easy ,  Just  Be   Easy
Looking  back  doesn’t  seem  so   silly
NOW
I’m  all  in,   but  can’t  extricate  fully
OR
Change  the  ends  that  don’t  meet.
I  came  on  strong  performing  7 Days  Long
Unwittingly  curling  toes  and  straightening  hair
You  saw  a  young  buck  diversion
Not  foreseeing  how  your  mind  was  twirling
Thinking  this  manly  feast  befitting  for  a  Queen
Stripping  a  young  man   of   dreams  and  vitality
Hoping  to  keep   him  performing  for  you  privately
But  playing  with  his  mind  while   he  played  you  erotically
No  protection  you  were  professing,  I  got   you  baby
Next  thing  was  a  baby  in  young  bloods ‘  arms
While  holding  your  older  sons’  arms  being  raised by  youth
In  his  eyes   on  my  immaturity  was  the  truth  of  a  prize  
He  now  adorns, claiming  to  be  the  son  of   pimp  born
Something  gone  wrong, stressing  corrective  measures
But  I  can’t  take  back,  what  I  done   put  in  
Realizing  and  parlaying   street  commandments  
Regulating  and  extorting  thru  learned  commando  tactics
He  did  become  king  of  a  clic  of   players  demonstrating
Coolness  and  Calmness  with  Jakes  and  Jackers   and
Recognizing  the  Fakers  by  the  noise  they  be  declaring
I thought  this  to  be  just  my  life  not  realizing  seeds  were
Watching  this  movie,  and  emulating  to  be  like  me
No  longer  in   love   with  the  life  of   this   love
Thought  to  be  friend  and  wife  long   gone,  I  perform
Moving  slowly  but   still  pleasing  and  causing  shortness  to  breathe
Easy  is  how  it  should  be  as  I  beg  and  plead,  don’t  hurt  nobody
Remember  your   seeds……
Can’t  take  back  what   I   done  put   in,  I  say  daily  in  prayers
Hoping  for  the  day  when  Knowledge  is  Returned  from  Staying  Away
Resuscitating  a  new  way  to  carry one  self  and   one’s  community
So what  is  put  in  faithfully, responsibly  and  lovingly  is  fully  returned
And  I will  rest  assuredly  on  my  contribution to  a  tribe  of  humanity
Laughing  fully  at   this  trivial  youthful  conspiracy  turned  to  hope!
Because  You  Can’t  take  back  What  You  Done  Put  In!  
Easy,  Easy ,  Just  Be   Easy
Looking  back  doesn’t  seem  so   silly
NOW
I’m  all  in,   but  can’t  extricate  fully
OR
Change  the  ends  that  don’t  meet.

Definitely, A Very Profound Poem, SILKYTWEED. It Reaches Home To The Core Of That Which One Has Done Or Will Anticipate Do In Life! And The Part In Reference To The Sowing Of Seeds, Very True, Indeed! Wishing you Love, And Much Inspiration Flower Girl,

Well you know that old saying, what we sow, but silkytweed sometimes what we sow is a blessing, our mistakes turn into valuable generations and each generation goes beyond our aspirations. Simply brilliant piece. You should be very proud

Wow, awesome poem. I love the way you describe the following feet. How you don't realize as you leave your seeds the consequences to come. Gets a ten from me.

Thank you kindly, some time the wind from our pasts blows by us presently before we feel fully and understand completely....ONE!

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
