The Yin And Yang

March 26, 1964 was a historical date

The Civil Rights Movement was gifted by fate

A tall, cooper, brother stepped in the path

of his one time rival, a nonviolent man

It took congress's debate on civil rights to finally bring    

the iconic meeting of Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King

Fighting for equality and respect from different perspectives

Made it that much more interesting that these two connected

Though the meeting was brief, it was clearly a sign

Of a shifting of attitudes, a melding of the minds

Martin more militant, Malcolm less stern

For true spiritual beings are open to learn

and grow, and restructure, revamp and plan
To bring down the unjust and oppressive system of the man.

But because of their assassinations, we can only lament
The yin and yang

The soul of American's of African descent
