The Emminence of a Man

The American President, Barack Obama is his name
Brilliant, stately, compelling he touched the hearts of many
Aspiring, he knew he was born to lead, a noble man indeed   
His simplicity is to admire, His uniqueness can only be desired

This meekness of a man, who will understand, but the time was right
when he was chosen to take a stand for the rights of everyone
Those who saw the brilliance of this man had no doubt he was the one
to bring them hope 

Guided by the master’s hand he unfolds a true liberator, he stand
Touched by the concerns of others, his aim was to change the game
and undo the shame

His presence is stately, filled with humility he shows transparency 
His voice is pleasant to the ear, with words of wisdom beyond our years
In reality, this man was truly born to lead, indeed he was.

We thank you Mr President, you have answered the call, and
have triumphantly raised the bar  
Your work is not in vain for God’s plan is at hand, and
victory is truly won.

Pretty sure poems like this were written for Mao and Stalin too.
