MINISTER

                                 PHOTO COURTESY OF UNKNOWN PHOTOGRAPHER.
MINISTER MICHAEL ALI (MMA), AKA, MICHAEL RILEY-SECOND FROM THE LEFT, A STRONG SUPPORTER OF HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS.  A BROTHER FOR A BROTHER. 
MY OPINION, HE IS A MEMBER OF THE BLACK FIST THAT IS HARDLY SPOKEN OF, BUT HE WAS A VERY EXCELLENT SPEAKER AND MOTIVATOR. HE WAS OFTEN A CALLER ON RADIO TALK SHOWS LIKE WDBZ 1230am RADIO (513) 749-1230. HE RAN FOR CINCINNATI MAYOR IN 2001.

LYRIC:
The road is long

With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother...
