And before I head off, another poem that better suits the day.
Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams wrote poetry while in prison, on death row.
Even the family of the victim and the prosecutor's office fought for the state not to kill him. The case against him was all wrong.
As Langston Hughes might have said, "He, too, sings America."
Or sang it, while he could.
Until tonight.
