Is President Obama The Answer?

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY!

As a human being
That has been kissed by the sun
I thought that this day would surely not come
For when we was young
There was so little hope
It was all we could do
Just to bear it and cope
Some turned drinking
Others to dope
And the rest
They were just happy and dumb

Then came Doc Martin
He said he had dreams
He said things should be different
And not stay as they seemed
So we followed
We marched
We let out a roar
Little did we know
What was really in store

Dogs biting
Cops beating
Being hose down to the ground
We stood there
And we took it
For a new way had to be found

Things changed in some places
But not so in all
So early one morning there was a phone call
They said to Doc Martin
Shut up or be dead
He wouldn’t shut up
So they filled him with lead

The movement stopped moving
It all came to a halt
They all pointed fingers but no one found fault
And like headless chickens
We all ran around lost

A man called Obama
I know the name
It sounds strange
But he’s talking about doing things different
And about bringing on change
For the Blackman
For the Whiteman
For one and for all
You hear what he’s saying
Why not answer the call?

His youth is against him, experience so-so
But with your support and your backing
Forward we shall go

The White House is the objective,
Equality the aim
So come on everybody,
Let’s climb aboard the Obama train

We can make it
Really counts this time
I state this fact for sure
For the failures of elections pasted
We have surely found a cure

So on Election Day
I’m glad to say
You took my words to heart
And casted your vote,
For the better Man
He is brighter, he is younger
Plus he is smart

    Your passion for this cause shines through David, we can all only hope, as I said before, that Mr Obama lives up to his promises, that the people follow suit where equality is concerned and the Mr Obama is not swayed by the absolute corruption begat by absolute power. Our backgrounds may differ David, but our wishes it seems, are very much the same.
