Barack Obama's Inauguration - A Poetical Interpretation
|
Posted By: Christopher Donshale Sims on December 04, 2008 Barack Obama's inauguration will be of candid energy. Millions will be cheering across the globe. Mountain tops where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's dreams will explode with might. The night before, the spirits of Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Fannie Lou Hamer will visit Obama in his sleep. They will pray deeply, to help guide him into the continued march for justice and peaceful journey. Thousands upon thousands of children will smile and laugh. They will be joyous and eager to walk into a new future. Men will march to the White House in droves. White, black and brown hands will shake without any bigotry or hatred. Women will not wonder if their sons will have to fight and die in unwanted and unwarranted wars. They will dance and hug one another from household to household. A feeling of freedom will hover all across America, all across the world. We will finally understand that we are not enemies, that we are friends who have not made time to talk and understand one another. We will look one another in the eye to realize the full capacity of hope. Faith will bring light to the darkness of these trying days. Faith will bring light light to the darkness of these trying days. Faith will bring light to the darkness of these trying days. © Christopher Donshale Sims 12/04/2008 Read more poetry from CD Sims at http://www.thechristopherdonshalesimsreade...
