He is no messiah, just one of us, <br />the future president of the U.S. <br />signalling the end of that ugly nexus: <br />the Bush-Blair infamous consensus. <br /> <br />He is no messiah, just one of us, <br />a ray of hope beaming from the U.S. <br />revealing the country’s human face, <br />giving new hope to the human race. <br /> <br />He is no messiah, just one of us, <br />the caring face of the U.S. <br />reaching out, seeking peace, <br />valuing kindness and justice. <br /> <br />America can atone for its sin of slavery, <br />for its past and present acts of infamy. <br />The blood of the innocents calls out to you: <br />‘Turn your back on the past and build anew.’ <br /> <br />Obama, never compromise your humanity! <br />(On the election of Obama in 2008)<br /><br />Isam Hussain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/obama-6/
