Since birth,
Learned from the world
Applied in life
Some parts wise
Enabling a chance to rise
Some had downs
Over time,
As that innocent child
Became really wild
Growing up becoming a menace
Some called him Dennis
Wasn't expected to pass
Managed to overcome
In steps through time
Started to get in line
not bind nor swallowed
comprehended & fallowed
Stood with what he believes
An activist for human rights
That struggled to cope
Was a visionary during life
Who had good hope
A will to strive
