A Poem For Obama By 69 Year Old GrandMother


OBAMA 2008!



Global justice billions crave

Revolution now… the wave.

Fresh solutions far and wide

Peace procurement now…the tide.

On waves and tides of cosmic scale

audacity and hope now sail.

OBAMA 2008!



U. S. poverty must Go.

A conscientious overthrow.

The working poor, the down and out.

Revolution now…the shout.

Vote ones heart … evolve … transcend...

the Wisdom Way to comprehend.

VICTORY 2008!



A living wage for one and all.

Resolution now…the call.

Civil rights again restore.

Revolution! … Just once more.

The Common Dream now full force…

a visionary, gutsy course.

OBAMA 2008!



Universal health care, Yes!

Congress HAS it, are WE less?

Equal rights across the board.

Resolution now… the chord.

Americans, a lively blend,

pilot the progressive trend.

VICTORY 2008!



Peaceful revolution, Yes!

The human race to coalesce.

One Creator, over ALL.

One last chance to heed the Call --

Love’s the lesson. Life’s the school.

Peace On Earth. The Golden Rule.

Live the Lesson. Heal our Earth.

… Imagine …

Transformation now. Rebirth!



OBAMA

Refrain:

Spur the people stir the fire

Mobilize and walk the wire.

Back on track and off the dime --

Revolution. One last time.

So amplify the drums and riff.

Be the ANSWER to "What if……?"

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!


A little about myself:

I'm a retired legal secretary living in upstate NY and my husband Jim and I will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary next year; we have three children and three grandchildren.

Obama's keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 moved me to tears and I've been an ardent supporter of his vision and the transformational movement he has inspired ever since.

(As an aside, my mother crossed over when I was five-years-old and my dad always read me poetry instead of bedtime stories when I was a child; thus my lifelong love of reading and writing poetry. This is further outlined in a factual diary my dad kept on me during the WWII years which I transcribed and published in 2003; it's called The Diary of Alice Mary and can be found on Amazon.com along with a review by Tyrone Banks of Betsie's Literary Page.)

1. Nice Poem But

Isn't it a bit much to expect Obama to do all of that considering the mess he will inherit? I'd settle for just stopping the Wars, restoring the Constitution stopping the downfall of our economy and researching alternative energy sources. It will take years to undo the damage that Bush has done and it won't be easy or pretty. I'm afraid our message of hope is getting a bit unrealistic.
