YES WE CAN (POEM FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA)


“I’m asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change …
I’m asking you to believe in yours.”- Barack Obama

Yes, you being one yourself
vowed to fight for all the quiet heroes
and with unflagging energy
you invested on the mantles of King and JFK

Yes, you wrote a new chapter
by rising above the waves of race
and propelling yourself into our hearts

Yes, we can bring about change
and ignite the world with a message
of hope, unity and real change
only if we believe in our ability
to bring about change

Yes we can
