A Man For All Seasons:Barack Obama
Wherein did you learn the secrets
written on buried scrolls and tablets-
that the power of a man
is unto a cosmic system?
Presiding as a robust star
sending matter into orbit.
Wherein did you learn
that if faithful over a few things,
like David, you might be King?
A dream so preposterous
Eclipsed all in its wake!
Feet planted in integrity.
Tempering power
with love and equality.
Running the race with patience.
Carrying forward the baton
of History with indomitable dignity.
Wherein did you learn
that though once in the bulrushes,
like Moses,
you could be raised in Pharaoh's very House?
