Mr President

Mr. President





Poise, grace, calm, cool and collected

Standing tall in the nation among nations

At times disrespected, 

call him what you may

He is still standing tall at the end of the day.



Nothing is going to change the fact

That he is a political genius and yes he is Black.

He’s Black, White and Brown,

Holding this country down. Seldom do you see a frown.



Highly educated and widely celebrated

To our country he is loyal and greatly dedicated.

The challenges to the office is vast and critical

The playing field would be level if the issues were just political

But small minded people biggest issues are racial

They chant I want my country back

What other president has gotten this flack.



To lead us he has to walk through a mind field.

Many people don’t want to yield.

But that’s ok.  This is the USA.

We have the choice of voting our way.

He’s up against birthers’ rumors

And racial tumors.



Born on US soil,

going through bigotry and turmoil

He didn’t dodge the draft

He has a silent and quick wrath.

He is making decisions,

Despite the country’s political divisions.



Compassionate for his country

Nothing will change the fact that he is making history

Call him this, and call him that.  Discuss his origination

Nothing will change the fact that in 2008 – 2012 he is president of this

great nation.



Judge him on principles and decisions made

Not by your small mentality and prejudicial ways.



He is standing strong, standing tall

Representing this country,

Thinking of us all.



Dealing with oil spills

And health care bills

A war in Iraq and Afghanistan

He even dealt with Bin Laden in Pakistan.

He wakes up running attacking the issues at hand

He’s an awesome man;

the leader of this great land.
