BARACK'S CHASE FOR THE PRESIDENCY

Barack Obama and the great chase
To be on top of the world
The big, bad, bold world
Bigger and better than the world dominated by Al Pacino in Scarface
And James Galdofini as Tony Soprano in the hit HBO series, “The Sopranos”
For the world Barack seeks to conquer is that of which kings, queens and presidents rule
And it’s a chase
A chase to reach the oval office where no other black man has ever occupied
So go
For history and ultimate reward.
Beat Sen. John McCain, win votes from racists who still exist in changing world
A world in which the color of a man’s skin still bothers
Forces contemplation
And, well, ignorance, that from those who won’t cast a vote for Barack because he’s black
Disregarding, sadly, the masterfulness of his mind
The eloquence of his voice
The determination in his mission to better unite and better provide for the men and women and children of our country,
Simply better all the way around a country that has been destroyed by greedy, conniving Republicans
But Obama’s chase is like no other chase, obviously
For no other black man has ever come this close to becoming President of the United States
So in his chase also comes reflection, and unfortunately, disregard
The latter of all those suffering years of slavery and non-acceptance for black men and women
Who today have a stronger stand, voice and in November, we can all only hope, a stronger vote
Which, barring scrupulous and controversial calculation of votes from the polls, will Barack Obama
The first black man finally be on top of the world
As President of the United States.
