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 cocktails
incendiary and pure
facing the east as he prayed
Pray for us Brother Malcolm
pray for us...
