Poetry For Everyday People
Barack Obama
Trying to turn
a good man
into a terrorist
is as nailing
a good man
to a cross.
they must think
Americans don't have any:
sense, or any understanding
of history,
more people now
on a daily bases
are losing complete
credibility by talking
this nonsense, trying
to sell the lie out
of pure desperation,
they ramble disguised
hate, pretending they
care about our country,
or our people, we're being
foreclosed on, we're being
laid off, can't afford
to go to the doctor,
the sales of safes
have gone up because
we're scared to leave
what little money we have
in the banks,
what have you done
with our automobile industry?
what happened to the pride of Detroit?
we were the greatest, GM is less than
five dollars a share, Ford is less than
three dollars a share,
and you wanna turn
a good man into a terrorist?
Muslim is not an insult,
it's the second largest
religion in the world,
an Arabic name doesn't
mean fear, or terrorism,
it's just a name, just like
John doesn't mean
your picking up a hooker
later on,
they just don't have
the guts to stand up
and say what they really
feel,
you've been outclassed,
out smarted, out campaigned,
out souled,
and your old tired hook of
flip flop has flopped it's flip
just like your tired hate spreading,
so cry, lie, spread your evil,
we're going to the mountain top,
we're going for peace and trust,
we're going for respect around the world,
we're going to stand up together
and help each other like we always have,
we're going to save our country, help
our people not watch them die holding signs
saying HELP, please HELP,
seems now even more of us are saying:
HELP.
