Our nation is stressed, that’s very clear
Economy crashing is our biggest fear
Our nation of power is falling fast
No longer invincible as in the past

Worldwide conflicts on the rise
Spawns terrorist acts that’s no surprise.
We needed to elect someone to come in
And help make our country strong again.

It seemed he appeared right on the scene
Poised, well-versed, articulate and clean.
A Black man for President, some thought it strange
While others were glad and wanted that change.

So Obama indeed is the nation’s choice
Who hopes he will also hear our voice.
Unemployed, homeless, is that our end
Obama gives hope like a caring friend.

He came into office with an arduous chore
To undo the damage that was done before.
Yet some still hate, can’t turn that page
A Black man in office just fuels their rage.

Bottom line he’s in with one request
That we’ll  come together to pass this test.
Can we all put aside our biased ways
Or else we’ll see our final days.
