39

Malcolm was on the brink of 40 And Martin had just turned 39 Two of God's foot soldiers taken so quickly, way before their time Or maybe it was their time, their time to truly transcend Yes, a transcendence into the arena of the righteous and heavenly You see, Martin said, "I've been to the mountaintop and I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land" And brother Malcolm said, "By any means necessary" A picturesque view was the two, both seemingly worlds apart, yet kindred spirits of the same heart Men fighting for a cause that was a part of their being, which made it virtually impossible to depart Dear God chose them and they listened, and they learned, and they prepared, and they went forth unabated without trepidation When God calls you for your service be it big or small, will you listen, learn, prepare and go forth, or will you sit apathetically in the seat of procrastination? I implore you, please, sit not and wait not for tomorrow is not promised, day or night Get Up! Stand Up! Press on toward that morning light. Don't quit! Never give up! Never give up the fight!
