The name is unknown The past is untold Our fathers graves Lost in the dust A voice is heard But not understood From the past He talks the truth His change was amazing From the depths of the streets To Mecca on high He knew the times The name is still unknown But the meaning has changed By all means I strive towards my destiny Taking hold of all my goals The name is X Will not be forgotten
Reason for writing:
I was inspired to write this after reading Malcom X biography. It gave me an understanding of why the X is used in the name.
