Poem: Obama's Cross

Published Jan 23, 2012

Obama came into the Presidency,
with clever ideas and a sense
of urgency,

Many laughed and smiled,
but they were just waiting
for a while to block him
every which way with
rhetoric and hypocrisy,

Dirty politics is making
a grandstand, using
whatever leverage
it can,

Politicians slinging
mud at one another,
using a President's family,
for carefree fodder,

Private lives will get
displayed like pieces of
mahogany furniture,
rendering a life of Public

Service ordinary and common.
