Malcolm X Poem by Terry Coates

The leader dat I really like
He uses power to show his might
He once was a criminal dat would always fight
Steal and rob to get through the night
He was born Malcolm Little
Who is a genius dat make wrong decisions
But when he was in jail he found da light
To become Muslim and always fight
He got out early for good behavior
An now he is powerful world leader
He got equal rights for African Americans
But was assassinated in 1964
For bein so right
His life will live an live
For the sake of generations
To speak and fight
