Hail Barack Obama
by Lionel E. Deimel
Hail Barack
Hussein Obama,
Unlikely lead in
our country’s drama;
A young man riding
the fastest track,
Who’s reached the
top despite being black;
An orator serving
up inspiration
To a frightened
and much dispirited nation.
Obama has faith in
himself and in us,
And a confident
grace that is ever a plus.
He tells us the
truth and holds his head high,
Eschewing the
pol’s inclination to lie.
In selecting
advisors, he chooses for skill,
Frustrating
detractors and building goodwill.
Obama’s a thinker,
not just a decider;
He’ll bring us
together, not be a divider.
So raise a glass
high to Obama’s success—
May he help put an
end to our nation’s distress;
May the land of
the free and the home of the brave
Be a place over
which our flag proudly can wave.
With a President
having a rational plan,
We can say with
confidence, “Yes, we
can!” |
