First Black President of the United States of America, Barack Obama
Altruist in politics, he being one of the fewest, Obama no drama
Aloha spirited & elegance, known for The Affordable Care Act
#47 tries to taketh away, bet by now you wished #44 was back
TRUMP YOU WENT TOO FAR
OBAMAS AS APES BIZARRE
LEFT A RACIST SCAR
TRUMP A RACIST SNAKE
TWEETS BARAK AS APE HEARTACHE
STOP FOR FREAKING SAKE
The corruption probe
Of systemic corruption
Corruptly cancelled
(12/15/25)
The not so great debate in America today
Is that even though liberal people fear for their lives
They dare not violate the progressive ethos
Of victim, ie. criminal, first,
And so argue round and round
That everything is okay and only getting better.
The irony of course is this obfuscation
And soft-core tyranny is actually illiberal.
But words today no longer matter
Labels being fungible
On the slippery slope of good intentions.
Well then, Hell it is, illiberal or not,
“Blue, blue, electric blue
Is the color of my room
Where I will live”
In rot with you.
(8/12/25)
Barack Obama, leader true and bold,
With hope and change, a story told.
A nation stirred, by his inspiring grace,
A path to progress, for every race.
Michelle by his side, a beacon of strength,
A partnership thriving, at any length.
Two daughters, wise and kind they grew,
Guided by love, like morning's dew.
Eloquent speeches, bridges he built,
Through challenges faced, he stood unfazed still.
Healthcare for all, a milestone achieved,
Inclusion and justice, for all to believe.
With legacy strong, he left his mark,
A nation's journey, forever embark.
I saw you live on the Facebook portal today.
How we are not is the intention as we see
An Adam’s apple in gracious mode
in graceful absence of becoming.
We let you be, and it is still.
An ocean surge within every mode of “I second
you”
As the clock dials with three slender hands
with the ticking band width of an enormous
resonance
A speaker, and a speech and a witnessing door
in gathering morn, in gathering chorus, along the
seashore.
It was the IOWA victory speech, and I still ponder,
Should they initial IA, as we bless that God will
know,
I still find a silent line, as these three hands are
calm,calmer with the L for any fallible kind. None.
Oooooh! Obama! Hear the praise of media as it sings
Though we thought you’d gone
You’ve lingered on
In the Swamp still pulling on the strings
Oooooh! Obama You were blest with politics your game
Your success complete
It sure smells sweet
And the wealth comes right behind the fame
Oooooh! Obama every night you sit and count your dough
No more income sparse
You scratch your head (sic)
Planning to make more and make it grow
You say to race prejudice: Fye!
But without it would you reach so high
And when we saaaaaaaay!
You’re woke in every waaaay!
It surely means that you’re doing well now Obama
B Obama, Okay B O B A M A
Go Obama!

I
The voids between galaxies
Look empty, but in the way of Zero
Black Holes and voids hold Eternities
The universe is a multiverse too
II
How do I, with such Space, identify?
Here: ground after the ground where I die
Where war breaks out, we ARE one family
When tsunamis suck millions of lives!
III
In life we will have days we WALK globally
Some did when Mandela walked FREE
and some when OBAMA led democracy
TASTE now eternity in a Void, do not avoid
I
If Obama and fans had stormed Capitol, democracy would preach
II
If Obama and fans had stormed the Capitol, he would not preach again
III
If Trump ever pays for 2021 sedition, all blood of First Nations would be Silenced
I have seen the black face of his Kenyan father
With whom he didn’t go farther:
an absolutely Black Papa
Describing not the Diaspora Rappa,
His loudest trumpets for Jomo,
As Barak’s nearly were for The Homo:
Safer A self –reclaiming returnee
Than an ever groping escapee:
Better Kenya’s social leper
Than an American on paper
And heard have I of his unique white mama,
Who wouldn’t the flame surrender to coma,
Rockier getting than Nigerian’s Zuma
And quite the cougar of America’s Puma…
All that for fanciful catchers of History
And zestful peddlers of exciting mystery,
For say it I still
A-top our tallest hill:
The guy was all along full American,
To his boxers so, less Republican
His returns of cheers completely Un African
Ascents of staircases for the Mexican
His oscillating heard during speeches
Electric fan-perfect, no breaches…
Abort this try to find out
And –please- don’t fail to shout:
Ex-president Barrack Hussein
Lost only to the American smoking sin.
Obama Had Told His Mama
became a trauma
obama told his mama
we shot osama
Had Been Super Duper Blooper
Started out super
turned out to be big duper
becoming blooper
Am dissatisfied
downhill they did seem to slide
dislike those who lied
always new for sure
looked like a lousey looser
and a big boozer
what we suggested
after all food digested
finished and rested
disaster on brink
much more coffee we should drink
then will start to think
had been in limbo
was a weird looking bimbo
who we want to go
filled up cup to brim
what we did was on a whim
will work out in gym
Robert Frost, Ogden Nash and
Will Rogers are my favorites.
My favorite President is Barack Obama
the 44th US President . . .
the first African-American elected
he always stood strong and diplomatic
with his beautiful wife Michelle Obama
at his side . . .
he is a lawyer, an author, a politician
always well spoken, kind and gentle
loved all over the world . . .
as president he inherited recession and two war
"I am not opposed to war, I'm opposed to dumb wars"
one thing I remember most of all he accomplished
is the death of bin Laden . . .
he knew how to flex his presidential power when needed
his two terms were an inspiration -
"I will guarantee you, we will move this country forward"
and still I love to hear him speak . . .
in that powerful, strong pleasant voice

A vote for Joe Biden for President
A ticket for Barack Obama as Vice-President
Hoping this amazing duo
Will set Mr. Orange aglow
And finally, get rid of this inept precedent
(Dream along with me!!!)
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, our first African American first lady has her own accomplishments which far exceed what she had dreamed of when she was a little girl in Chicago. She has been a lawyer, university administrator, writer, and advocate. She has won a grammy award, shorty award, and Nickelodean Kid’s Choice award. She is multi-talented, presidential enough to be elected president herself. She has shown grace, confidence and beauty in the face of every challenge. Her husband Barack and her children Malia and Sasha are proud of her and her accomplishments. “I always tell young girls to surround yourself with goodness,” she is quoted. “I learned early on how to get haters out of my life.”
She is the vision of assertive womanhood.
michelle obama
role model to young women
grace personified
