Dark Man X

A tribute to DMX

By Joe PattersonPublished 6 months ago • 1 min read

Prayers up. Cross your arms together in the form of an X.

An expression of broken joy is what comes next.

Earl Simmons better known to the world as the Dark Man.

Tell the world about what God has put in your heart man.

The road was rough, but Earl chose to take that path. No least resistance.

Walking where God told him to go with persistence.

Burning through a dark hell and getting out by the flesh of your flesh.

You kept us focused on the Lord with an X on your chest.

Never taking a rest and never just an entertainer.

Kept a promise. You said if we walked with you we’d fly with you later.

We miss you, but you had to be God’s man next.

Earl Simmons will live forever. Always the Dark Man X.
