BARACK OBAMA, THE ONE - AN ODE

With smiles, genuine
Or faked
Poise, and style
He charms!

A man of the moment,
Man of the people
The rave of the time
From Cairo to Moscow
Berlin to Ankara,
Rome to Accra
Men, women, follow, worship
The American
The new Moses, the latest Jesus

The Orator,
Relishing the moments
Seizing the occasions
To entertain, effusively
With his gift of the gab
Barack Obama,
‘The One”
A man of uncountable words
A man,
Alas,
Of countable deeds.

Thanks Sean

why the fuss over, obama,common write on better issues

lol. Perhaps you didn't understand the ode. Try it for sarcasm.

maybe a moses, but no American president is a saviour, just a world leader, nice poem though.

Thanks ladman,

But it seems most people didn't get the gist of the poem.

My point is that people call him many things, and he talks too much, but does very little.


The poem is more of sarcasm than praise.

Thanks though for your comment.
