A New Day, A New Way Only two more days to wait For our brand-new President We’ll welcome Barack Obama And be happy, Bush has went. It’s a changing of the guard A new way, our Country’s run Removing from our Constitution Those changes, others had begun. Hopefully, a new America Will emerge from pain and grief And maybe, all of the People Will finally, receive some relief. By the People, for the People The way, it was meant to be Where the Laws of our Land Apply to all, in our Country. Maybe, we can come together Be more, than the Red or Blue Where, all people, are equal Finally, will actually, be true. We can’t expect miracles And it may take a little time But, if we all work together Everything will be, just fine. We must recapture the Spirit Which, made our Nation great Our pride in truth and justice And the will, to shape our fate. Our culture must be changed The bigotry and hate must end We must practice what we preach In the message, that we send. We can, win back lost friends From all around this Earth We might gain some new ones When again, we prove our worth. Let’s show the World the best Of the traits, which we swear by Know, we can rebuild our image If we only, have the will, to try. Many, feel they took a chance In the way, they chose to Vote Hoping the promise of, “Change!” Is more, than just, an empty quote. We must give this man a chance If, we ever hope to persevere And know, good will of the People Can surely, overcome all fear. A new History will be written On that Inauguration Day As a black man takes the Oath To lead our Nation, the right way. We have taken a new course Many thought, would never be Proof, anything is really possible In this, Great Land, of the Free. 01.18.2009 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 |

Obviously an effective, timely 'write'! "Hopefully, a new America Will emerge from pain and grief And maybe, ALL of the People Will finally, receive some relief(!)" ... assuming he isn't assassinated or simply 'stymied' at every turn in all that he tries to accomplish by the immense individual and collective money and power behind all the right-wing conservative; corporate; religious, and 'secret society' special interests that have really 'run the world' (as the scourge of the 'common man' masses ) throughout most of human history. I tremendously applaud all who still have the stamina (and 'hope'?) to 'pen' such socio-political impact/conscience works such as this! |

It has only got to get better and if anyone can lead you there, it is this man and his team. I can't wait to see this President's leadership, and applaud him for taking the job period! What a mess to clean up, but I have faith he will eventually get through it. I am just so happy to be alive to see this event in our history, and witness what I believe will be some unity in this world perhaps over this particular elected President. |
