Poem
During the days before the Vacation began FIRST: there was a thunderous knock on The door of Damian Hakim's Residence. Damian Junior ran To answer the door. But Damian was disturbed in his den by the omenous knock. Damian asked "who is it?" With His bellowing voice. But the Voice from the Other side was Even more bearish "HAKIM FAMILY!" Damian Junior looked At his father and Damian gave The nod. DJ slowly opened the door. There were 3 men Standing in front of them. One of the men Introduced himself stepping Beyond the threshold, "My Name is Judge Malik Valus Hakim." The next man entered and Introduced himself as Judge Ezekiel Amadeus Hakim." Damian caught his breath. The last man entered. Judge Hezekiah Emanuel Hakim. All Dwarfing Damian with full Length black trench coats. Each were Damian's height Or taller. Standing before Damian were 3 Hakim men Of distinction, he had never Met but they were the judges In the family. Legends often Spoken of. And Damian had Heard of their legacy on occasion. But to meet them, this was A major magnificent Majestic occurance. Damian had to Regain himself, "Well, come into My study." He lead them into The library. Judge Malik Hakim Spoke first "we're here in the Flesh to speak to you about a Project." One of the men closed the door To the study. Damian asked "How can I help you? Judge Ezekiel said we are going to Erect a temple." These Judges possessed a presence That totally impressed Damian And would impress any that They would surely meet in The coming months of the Temple construction. They had To break ground and hire Builders. This is major. They Also wanted to buy an extreme Assortment of stock. Much of It was family stock. Some of Their companies went public On the stock market. Hezekiah said "We'll be breaking Ground for the temple near Here." "Well actually it be Closer to downtown." Malik Corrected. "Can we expect Your contribution?" Judge Malik asked. Damian didn't Answer. The Judge slowly growled. "Hakiiim". Damian Shook himself, and Narrowed his eyes "how much Of a contribution?" "Anything You can afford we presently Have architects working on The blue prints." Lastly to Damian's dizzying desperate Relief the 2 hour meeting had Come to a close. Throughout The duration of the meeting Neither man bothered to sit Down or ask for anything, Water food. Nothing. they came And went out not relieving Themselves of coats, they held Their hats in their hands. Damian returned to his den And called his father. "Hey, Glad to hear your voice Dad Aah I had some visitors today. Hakim men. Dad, they were Judges." "Did they visit you Too?" "Yes they did Damian. I Hope you weren't caught off Your guard." His father Inquired. "Yeah, I'm embarrassed To admit I was not expecting Such powerful looking Hakim in My house. And after all they We're judges." "Don't feel Threatened Damian." "Naw, Dad I don't feel threatened But they showed up with out Calling, no invitation. I didn't Know them. So how are they Related to us?" Damian was Intrigued by the imposing Hakim strangers. They're my Father's nephews and they are Members of the Hakim Councilors. "Yeah, I get them Dad, they don't Smile joke laugh or dress like Ordinary men. Hey, They might as Well be Men In Black." "By the way Dad, I'll be on a 7 day vacation a few days From now with my children and Their mothers. We're going to Trinidad." "YEAH, Haa, ha! All Of them, everybody including The youngest. We'll manage Dad." SEVENTEEN HAKIM! His father asked "Damian, if you Can, visit your grandfather." "Okay, if time allows, but we're Bringing all of the kids too. So That'll be sort of problematic." "Ok Dad catch you later." Carter Hakim called Damian back Within an hour and said, "Damian this New temple the Ground breaking will happen the Week after you return from your Vacation." "They want us both There. And they have at Present time contacted most Heads of Hakim families to Include them as well. So.... This is a big project, it's a big Occurance son." "Yeaah, Dad." Damian said. His father continued, "Damian The Hakim family are talking. Important purchases. Ownership These projects cost. Multimillion dollar purchases. Damian asked, "Can we afford All of it?"
