stop to pray
stop and stare
pain can teach
or destroy
night and day
love and rage
rule the streets
fill a void
six feet deep
a body laid
grief runs wild
children play
set love free
this sacred day
make a choice
to change your ways
friendship bleeds
love is pain
choked by weeds
an oak is slain
rise again
live to die
joy comes
to those who cry
brother manning
rest in peace
malcolm cries
your soul to sleep
revolution
spirit fired
like a phoenix
ever rising

dope piece man, just started listening to the audio version his new book on Malcolm. I can already see why it took 10 years to write. It's as captivating as it is thorough. thank you for paying homage to one of our great minds.
