If in the brilliance of the cosmos
A star transforms the darkness,
Be in transition of the provost,
Commonality of the starkness.
With infusion and insight,
Just a moment that’s inherent,
Across a spectacular bright,
In rhetoric that is so apparent.
Forms a grandiose bridge
Into the realm of understanding
Along a most rugged ridge,
Across the arch of time and space.
With logic that is at once demanding,
Making just the distant case,
In terms most commanding,
In constancy of reasoned thought.
Ideas expressed by careful measure,
In reasoning sincerely brought,
To mind with summed-up leisure,
In intellectual born discourse.
He spirits the wit of an owl,
A fortunehead in the fateful source,
Without the hint of a scowl.
Shihad a glimmered, golden flame.
Truth from him is not a token,
A stream of light that no one can tame,
The way along a path unbroken,
In the very latest of context.
A virtually prophetic medium,
The bestest since Malcolm X,
With the least hint of tedium.
If not within, then without.
An all-powerful earthquake,
Inundating like a waterspout,
To reshape, reform, and remake.
