The poem does not talk about Obama. It actually talks about human dignity and equality. Good work.
Sathya, I loved the sentiments and the poem. I lived in SA through the hypocracy of apartheid to the freedom now enjoyed. Obama I feel gives hope to all honest thinking men and hopefully the world. 10/10
In the history of the world, there comes a saviour to give a healing touch to the oppressed and untouchables.
An interesting poem, I hope Barak keeps his promises, well said, 10 Lynda xx
The first two lines rhyme. There are no more rhymes till the last verse. The last verse is good but needs a change. I do not prefer a mixture of rhyme and no rhyme. It should be one or the other. Otherwise, I find nothing negative. GW62
nice one, satyanarayana garu: you use some real tough words
Dear Sathya, no doubt your poem is well composed. I have nuance from your view, if we were people of ethics and would not discriminate between races, we should not mind about what some arrogant people say or do. I think the word 'hatred' should be abolished from poetry dictionaries. Very sure Obama is good man of white hand and sheer history, he is worth of great respect.
Obama is the symbol of hope in America, at the present. Excellent write. Warm regards, Sandra
Colour a skin for me not the main.... I look to this president - hope... The hope dies the last...10... Tsira
Sir: You asked me to comment.I was a proffesional soldier. I never voice opinion in the political arena.
Hello my friend Sathya. It was a very good poem. I disagree with your view, he is the worst possible person for that office. God help the USA! Thanks for your good skill and work, Loyd
Why I was not one who voted for this man. I still as God wants of me, pray or him and this U.S.A.! Great tribute to this man. Linda
True! We are all hopeful like you! With 2009, let him usher in an era of peace; the world dose not belong to the terrorists, neither it is theirs, nor is it mine! - Raj Nandy
