Acacia ( /əˈkeɪʃə/ or /əˈkeɪsiə/) is a genus of shrubs and trees belonging to the subfamily Mimosoideae of the family Fabaceae, first described in Africa by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1773. Many non-Australian species tend to be thorny, whereas the majority of Australian acacias are not. They are pod-bearing, with sap and leaves typically bearing large amounts of tannins and condensed tannins that historically in many species found use as pharmaceuticals and preservatives.
The generic name derives from ακακία (akakia), the name given by early Greek botanist-physician Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40-90) to the medicinal tree A. nilotica in his book Materia Medica. This name derives from the Greek word for its characteristic thorns, ακις (akis, thorn). The species name nilotica was given by Linnaeus from this tree's best-known range along the Nile river.
Acacias are also known as thorntrees, whistling thorns or wattles, including the yellow-fever acacia and umbrella acacias.
The genus Acacia previously contained roughly 1300 species, about 960 of them native to Australia, with the remainder spread around the tropical to warm-temperate regions of both hemispheres, including Europe, Africa, southern Asia, and the Americas. However, in 2005 the genus was divided into five separate genera. The name Acacia was retained for the majority of the Australian species and a few in tropical Asia, Madagascar and Pacific Islands. Most of the species outside Australia, and a small number of Australian species, were reclassified into Vachellia and Senegalia. The two final genera, Acaciella and Mariosousa, only contain about a dozen species from the Americas each.

Plot: This short film is about Acacia and Mauricio. It is a story that looks at some point how we fell in love, in how men come to appreciate the women we meet everyday on the streets. This animation work purports to speak without prejudice of some aspects of how we are attracted at first sight and the problems that arise when one wants to take the next step. However, as shown by reality, how natural it is the human error and the feature 'capricious' self-love, the story has a strong and unexpected ending that does not seek literal have meaning in itself, but rather metaphorical.

Genres: ,(Intro)
Swing high then swing low
I know we all know
Swing high then swing low
I know we all know
(K-Os)
I was rushing to the end
But you're everything I saw, again
And hoping to pretend
I was knocking on heavens door my friends
But I was just a fool, caught up in the game
Everything is cool, believing in my name instead of his
And then the sun came out
I couldn't find the shade, I'm not afraid
Of the light anymore
(Chorus)
Patience
Heavens on the side be patient
The universe is mines
Patience
Everything is grand use patience
And you can understand
(K-Os)
Now everyone knows
We hold the key deep in our souls
But we are living a life on the surface yo
What's the purpose of living lies
Somebody tell me
Some hearts are made of stone (of stone)
They'll find their way back home (home)
I know I walk the path of life eternally
To be free, its all time
(Chorus)
Patience
Heavens on the side be patient (heavens on your side)
The universe is mines (and you don't travel anywise)
Patience
Everything is grand use patience (use patience)
And you can understand (you can understand)
(Outro)
Swing high then swing low
I know we all know
Swing high then swing low
