A mantra of unbridled hope

Build in the center of a restless civilization

He strives for the edification of a nation

A devoted father, brother, teacher, man

Dignity evidenced in the confidence of his stance

Realizing that with knowledge, wisdom

And a stable foundation

One can be metamorphosed

And upon the delicate wings of promise…fly

Led by devotions to bring forth life

More abundantly

For all

To look at him

To witness the crafting of majestic dreams

With each horizon creeping into existence

With persistence, he maintains a stance of difference

A beacon illuminating forth from within

Casts its rays faithfully upon the masses

Those lost amid the tempestuous seas of obesity

Of wretched ailments that hinder peace

Amid Babylonian trickeries that degrade

And falsify vital truths

When others choose to walk away

He embraces their cries of abuse and stays

Providing pathways to freedom

Rather than pretend they are invisible

He makes them KNOW he sees them

And though at times weariness befalls

Vision temporarily impaired

By tidal waves of exhaustion’s energy

Yet upon the massive power of passion he feeds

Spirits of past leaders…Malcolm and Martin

Tapping into the convictions of his needs

Victorious once again he arises like the sun

With massive determination

And a colossal drive to thrive

To ensure that not a single day of his life

Is compromised by indifference

The fruits of his legacy remaining

Vigilant and untainted

Despite the abandonment of time

Paying tribute to the journey of one

One soul…one heart…one mind

Who refused

To live his life in vain
