Tổng thống - President Obama: Photo from http://phoenixrising.me
After listened to the inspirational, well-delivered and powerful speech by President Obama, I would like to share an old poem that I wrote on the previous Election Day.
VICTORY FOR ALL
Today,
I believe that there will be a total victory
For
Senator Obama and the Democratic Party
I
know that the Bush Administration is coming to an end
His
government is mayhem
And
Bush is out of touch and irresponsible for the last few months;
Luckily
there is a new sun
Shining
and electrifying the Obama phenomenon and it is a miracle
He is
the symbol
Of
struggle, of change, of desire, of dreams for all
He is
the ultimate change and hope that we instill
For all
Americans and people around the world
In
Obama, we find new directions
He
has the potential to be a great President
He’s
charismatic and talented
Even
though he grew up struggling like many ordinary Americans
He
will bring fresh and better direction
In
him, we trust and hope for the better future of many
Including
my baby boys, Khang and Kiệt
My
dear sons,
Your
grandparents taught me that “Others’ success is your own success”
Thus,
when you’re grown up, life will often have some messes.
Fix
them whenever you can
and
live like the two men
Of
Nguyễn Công Trứ ( 阮公著;1778–1858) or John F. Kennedy, who once asked-
“We,
who are born as men in the world
What
did you do for your country/society?”
Also,
know that life is impermanence
So,
live your life generously and balanced
My
dear sons:
That
is the true victory for one and for all
The
victory you ought to cherish.
Election
Day, November 4th, 2008.
