Malcolm...

Danjaruz Demeanor:


Daily Danjaruz Deliberation:

In 1492, you came upon these shores.
Seven hundred years, educated by the moors;
17th Century-- genocide and the gun
Middle Passage blessed to market the Africans.

In the so-called ““Land of God””
My kind were treated hard.
From back then until now
I see, and you agree--
We have been a misrepresented people.

From back then until now
Just see my family tree;
We have been a misrepresented people.
We have been a misrepresented people.

19th century-- slavery destroyed.
Soldiers who fought and won
What’s known as ““nigger-boys””.
20th century-- with freedom in my hand,
We invent ideas
Which helped them save the land,

But while I prayed to God
My moms and pops got whored.
From back then until now
You’ll see our history;
We have been a misrepresented people.

From back then until now
Just see my family tree;
We have been a misrepresented people
Yes, we have been a misrepresented people.

1969-- Black power's at the door.
1982-- Hip-hoppers on the floor.
1992-- Gangs and crack prevailed.
1999-- Our colors filled the jails.

It is through the grace of God
That we all were not scarred.
From back then until now
We see no comedy;
We have been a misrepresented people.

From back then until now
Were we still a mystery;
We have been a misrepresented people.
Yes, we have been a misrepresented people.

Though we march across time,
A sea of victories,
We have been a misrepresented people.

From back then until now
You know we made you grow;
We have been a misrepresented people.
We have been a misrepresented people.

From back then until now
We see our destiny
To never be a misrepresented people.

Yes, we march across to time to free
A melody
To never be a misrepresented people.

No you must never be a misrepresented people.

Danjaruz Disclosures, Declarations, and Diatribes:
40 years without him, and how far have we progressed? I mean really. Do we take 1 step forward and take 2 steps back? For every person breaking some barrier, 10 more people are erecting another one. What is the deal my people?

Did Malcolm die in vain? Hell, WE killed him. WE did the job for THEM. A man struggling through life jsut trying to figure out who he was, at the same time trying to help the people he knew he belonged to. What did we do? We killed him!!

I cannot even make any sense as I type because I am so hurt right now. I never got the chance to meet him, hear him speak live, feel his presence in the same room, yet he means more to me than most people I know and have in my life right now. I wanna cry so bad for such a wasted life. Malcolm, I'm sorry. I know it isnt my fault that people seem to forget about you or that they don't know as much about you as they should, but I still feel apologetic. Malcolm, I love you, and I will sing praise of you until I die.

40 years... what have we done? we have destroyed our communities with drugs and gang violence. We have babies having babies. We aren't finishing school, we are content with secretary jobs or welfare. We are chasing the high of life not realizing that life cannot be pumped into our veins or smaked into our lungs. Malcolm, oh Malcolm, come back!!

I want to hate them for betraying you, but I cannot. I see the new generation of the Nation and I want to curse them, for following "him" when it was he who killed you!! You wouldnt want mem to hate though. You would want me to forgive them. Oh Malcolm, I dont even know what to type, I am so mixed up inside.

Malcolm, I have not forgotten, I will never forget. I carry the flame for you. We will progress as a people, I promise. Your life was not taken in vain. I need you, we need you, and I know you have my back.

A salaam walaikum!!!

Danjaruz Haiku:
Malcolm, we need you
Our people are suffering
We need your guidance
