In honor of President Obama's Second Inauguration, I would like to post an old poem that I wrote four years ago.
President Obama’s Inauguration
Today
is the 20th of January, 2009
One
day after Martin Luther King Jr.’s day
44
years after Blacks and women got the right to vote
Barack
Hussein Obama, born August 4th, 1961, becomes the 44th President and
The
first African American President of the United States of America
Today
is a chilly, yet sunny day in Washington, D.C.
It is
beautiful in California and it is a new day for all people.
It is
a renewal of American spirit
It’s
a gigantic and majestic event
A
hundred million people in the USA and around the world watching
With
around two million people at the Presidential Inaugural experiencing
There
is an ocean of people stretching as far as our eyes can see
Greeting
an extraordinary leader,
Who
has a willingness, openness, and eagerness to lead our country out of the great
mess.
It is
such an exciting and historic moment
With
so much pride,
A
tsunami of hope and expectations
He is
a symbol of dreams and people’s motivations
At
the inauguration, he called for unity and responsibility of all people.
And
he restated that the USA is ready to lead the world for the betterment of all.
With
that, the new spirit is on
The
beginning of a new chapter
Of
our history.
