Wrath of President Obama

We have come to a cross roads in this country,
where some folks truly believe
they don't have to listen to a Zebra,
Minorities get no respect in America!
Citizens are sinking to an all time low,
because they have grown weary of
the Political Show,
Republicans and Democrats have both
left messes,
Yet, somehow ordinary people are dealing
with the stresses of a torn goverment,
Advantages are being taken that are inconceivable,
because minorities are thought of as not being
commanding people,
Businesses think they can treat consumers
shabbily because there is only a minority at the
helm,
For all intense purposes,
Minorities are perceived as goofing off on the job,
The wrath of Obama should be unleashed on these
simple sods,
America is still Red, White and Blue,
Minorities should be treated like their
counterparts,
It will never become a white/black or minority
thing, if people act from their hearts.

Margaret, both parties have made a lot of mistakes and think they don't have to answer to the public. Sometimes I feel like they don't have our best interests at heart. I voted for Obama and am disappointed the war in the Mideast wasn't resolved as quickly as he pledged. Still, he is our president and deserves our respect. His election opened the door for other minorities to take leadership roles. I am happy for that. Well expressed! Love, Carolyn
