Hero.

Looking back in time we are in debt 2 the leaders.

Angels of mercy everyone.

Good folks who believe there is no good & evil

fought long & hard until the 

battles are were won.

Heroes make the sun rise in the morning

Heroes make the moon 

shine bright @ night.

Heroes makes our lives a little stronger

In the soul of everyone he can be found.

Give us an anchor or 

a rock 2 lean on.

A captain 2 take us through the storm.

What makes a soldier ride 

alone into battle?

Can anybody tell me where he's coming from?

He's that stranger on the street.

He's that child who's @ your feet.

Searching for freedom & justice.

You've seen him time & again

You know they only fight 2 win.

They're the challenger's evil

& I'm glad we know them.

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)

X-Man.

Growing up in the inner city of Chicago with excessive 
violence & hopelessness, there wasn't much 2 look 
up 2 on the positive spectrum. 

Options were limited while diligently 
searching for positive impactful until one day 
getting my hands on a small paperback 
Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley 
at a local thrift store....

things surely happens for a reason;)

This is when things began 2 open up with the ambition 2 read about history, culture & identity. Amazed at how such a book about a young man with a troubled past while facing the odds during the 1960's could make a massive impact. 

One thing that stood out about Malcolm was his motivation 2 teach self while incarcerated making him one of our prolific thinkers of that time.

If he could achieve such a task, 
then what's my excuse?

From that point, life has changed knowing despite 
the condition in which lived, perseverance 
with a bold fearless approach would 
pay off 2 be so much more.

Knowing this, it become my duty 
& responsibility 2 ensure that his life is remembered with a greater appreciation. 

Hmmph...I wonder how would things be today
 if someone like him ever existed for he wasn't 
just any ordinary man....he was.. 
X-man.

(Yep!)...

Peace!...with 2 fingers;)
