Malcolm Little gave up a slave surname became brave not bulletproof

Light skinned superhero eye witness to original sin

 southern hospitality with fire hose tactics

northern apartheid, long strides through Harlem, call him brother minister

Incarnation of the Negro voice muted by James Crow

Stood up straight when the weight of two worlds pressed down on narrow shoulders..

He became X

Last name of the stolen, Last name of the unknown...

Used truth, weapons as words falling like Molotov tails

incendiary and pure

facing the east as he prayed

Pray for us Brother Malcolm

pray for us...
