For millions of ghettos <br />Maimed mulattos <br />And chained helots <br />Came he like a soothing zephyr <br />As a balm of Gilead <br /> <br />For the Apartheid breeds <br />And for those green eyed <br />Who call him parvenu with hatred <br />He is a whirlwind <br />An ominous portent <br /> <br />Watchout those shaking billboards <br />“No entry for dogs and blacks” <br />Falling one after another with dread <br />Rising up are new hoardings <br />Flaunting new hopes and confidence <br /> <br />Usherd in a man in Black and White <br />Promising colorful days in prospect <br />For one and all with equal respect <br />Obama is his name <br />Reform is his aim<br /><br />sathya narayana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/avant-garde-2/
