Presidential Glow

Salutation friends,

I have completed my latest poem in respect of our new President: Barak Obama. Many of you are aware of the challenge and triumph endured during the campaign season. Like you, I found the event thought provoking, emotional, hopeful & helpful. I cannot remember when I became so involved in the electoral process, but I do know that I am a new political junkie and I am eager to see what President Obama will do to help us help ourselves.

Welcome to my latest poem titled: Presidential Glow


In the race to be number 44, will require a margin of 50. Fifty-one unilateral voices spoke on November 4, the masses loudly rejoice in their vote meticulously.

Two hundred seventy to claim victory with promises recorded by notes; the day-to-day heckling (they call it campaigning) is the method by which to garner favorable votes.

What makes this event different is a chance at being the first. In the lineage of the prior 43, the concept of ignorance and division must first be disbursed.

Bad habits to be broken, actions require constant plea, you voted as our leader of leaders was regarded as unforeseen.

Never in our history have such a choice been made, though unanimous was the key many still scream in dismay.

To be black is one thing, to be presidential is another; a post this high-held is not to decide by color.

Our journey is just starting; Obama has accomplished a great feat. It was with your call and our accountability that refused to accept defeat.

We, as a nation have crumbled and the numbers fail to lie. Yet, our resurgence to greatness is a feat well worth to comply.

You had the audacity to hope and challenged family men to serve, our freedom and fulfillment is just some of what we deserve.

Real winners refuse the handouts and dismiss the notion of luck; through preparedness & opportunity are the irons of timing accurately struck.

You have been elected PRESIDENT of all 50 states. It is not for you to do for us, but we, as a team must do what is great.

Your chance to lead our nation is needed, more than you can ever know. Let us see how greatness shines for all with your Presidential glow. ©
