Darrick Johnson AKA “Brother Malcolm” performs his original poem at The Variety Show

Evolution refers to the gradual development over a period of time, whereas revolution is a turnaround—a complete, sudden or drastic change. My evolution from an angry young man to a teacher and student was gradual, but the change was revolutionary. I was forced to look inside my heart and place my ego on a shelf so not to ease God out. I’ve learned many lessons and faced challenging moments during my life, thus proving to me that tough times don’t last. Instead, they teach us to be stronger. It is my hope that through my words, others can benefit from the lessons I’ve learned. My journey has not ended, and the revolution of I speak will not be televised. But the revolution inside us can help change the world.
