I wrote this in February but never got the chance to type it up.
Congratulations on your Democratic Presidential nomination, Senator Obama!
Obama
I used to think that I’d vote for Hillary
But I think that Obama is the man to set us free
We’ve been held hostage now for eight long years
By overspending on a fraudulent war and exaggerated fears
No need to dwell on the past with the future in front of us,
bright as the morning sun rising
Of course, that’s Senator Obama… an intelligent, charismatic,
innovative, refreshing, strong, capable leader who’s enterprising
Barack has the vision… he shares Martin’s dream
To unite America… not have it separated by an economic or
racial seam
He wants to help the poor and minorities cross the great divide
With decent jobs, affordable health care, access to an education
and restoration of self-pride
“Yes, we can!” It’s Barack’s belief. It’s his motto
If you believe, vote for Obama! Put him in the White House
and watch America grow!
Barack Obama has inspired scores of young people to vote
And prompted those who can remember to reminisce on
a Kennedy, King note
He is exactly what this ailing country needs to heal and improve
With Obama at the helm, the United States of America can, in a
positive direction, turn and move
