Union Euphoria

Missing image

Abraham Lincoln has come to town

As Oboma tore all barriers down 

Oh God! so many years have past

But sanity and reason has won at last 

Though the 1860’s is long filed away

But The Union didn’t win . . until today

Surely the spirit of Kunta punched the sky

As we all witnessed Jessie  Jackson cry 

Oboma faces confusion, poverty, and war

But he’ll CHANGE America. . That's for sure

The whole world is rising to its feet

As Oboma takes the Presidential seat

Can we now begin to object to war ?

Can we spend wasted money . .on US poor ?

Yes . .What would Kunta  Kinte say

As America throw  enduring caste away

But though we're overjoyed at Obama wining

It’s well to remember. .this is just the beginning

    Right on, man. maybe if we can take some of that defense money (half our budget*) and spend it on peaceful, positive things, we can be the moral leader of the world again.

    *funny how conservatives almost never get upset about this huge spending on war, but will get into a fit over a couple million here or there to help poor people eat or get medical care. Only then do they scream about misallocated tax money...

    Oh. This is a pretty cool poem that you have written in here. I'm sure I've read this before. I think it's been on the spotlight column right? I can see why though. It is postive and smart and I thought it was well thought out. You did a good job in expressing yourself here.

    Horray! I'm sure there are a lot of upset republicans today, but hopefully they will think of how we democrats have been depressed the last 8 years watching our country get run into the ground by an imbicile...

    Jessie jackson - saw that clip, very moving and and the same time felt a bit ilke we were intruding on a private moment...

    Mccain's consession speech was his best speech yet. Shows how attractive a canidate and speaker he is when he's free to just be himself. Made me burst into tears, his speaking of what a historic moment this is, 220 odd years after the declaration of independence said 'all men are created equal'. He would have been an OK president, but I am truly truly excited about what Obama will hopefully be able to do.

      Hi Kevin


      Thanks for your comments – with which I agree. Sorry the poem is poorly laid out but for some reason my “Edit” function didn’t seem to work though I tried many times to space the stanzas and left align the thing . . Not sure if it is my fault or yours . . LOL

      Albert.
