At 55, Malcolm took early retirement
Part time US Civil Service
and night time took a law degree
He never wrote poetry but constantly
expressed his thoughts in poetry
He knew the Bible by heart
And every epic from ancient days
As he shaved each day he memorized
His extraordinary collection of poetry
Sun Ra in some far off place
Many years in space
Smiles and nods his head
He loves the Father of his age
And loves the Son alive today
