The President That Looks Like Me

A Poem by: Greg Coleman Hello Everyone! I know it's been awhile But since the people elected Obama I've had no time for ideological arguments Because I've got my reason to smile A humble honorable man Who truly puts his country first He satisfied the desire for change For which the people thirst Constantly attacked by people Who tried to sow the demon's seed He ran because of his love for the American People Not for power drunkenness, dishonesty and greed And to all who still don't understand What the majority of people see in this man I guess you never will Because of where you stand You see millions of Americans Who just could no longer cope Saw in this man The power of hope And people who were suffering Who were deep in despair and pain Saw in this man The potential for change But the message that he brought to us Is really nothing new But the people at the top Just seemed to have lost the view Because this is the United States of America Not the united states of a few Many white conservatives called black people racist Because we whole heartedly supported this man But it wasn't because he's black It's because he had an actual plan To save our nation And serve it's people well To lift this nation up Out of the depths of hell So I come to you today To let you know that America made the right choice A people united with a common purpose And a common voice For Barack Obama is the first black president Of the United States But he is the president of all of the people No matter what their race He comes highly recommended, qualified, and thoroughly educated you see So I make no apologies, no excuses For The President That Looks Like Me
