Barack’s Break Through

The clamour is in the streets
A kid from Kenyan fields
Got mounted on the steed
The untameable unruly beast

Breaths are held in hope
Nothing will go untold
The way the reins he holds
The way the game unfolds

The beast is hard to tame
But the kid is in the game
What was before a shame
Is spoken by a new name

The Change;
The change profound has come
A Black is in White mansion
What Barack “Hussein” Obama has done
So can my son
YES, MY SON TOO CAN!
