Obama

As a boy too young to grasp full meaning of history present and past, I knew not the consequences of the events occurring and how they would alter the world of the present and future. Martyred leaders King and Kennedy brought chaos, tears and fears. It seemed the world would soon end. Hearts torn by hatred, never to mend. War between races, religion, classes  always present never past. Fueled by the selfish greed of men, seemed our world would soon end. But no, for God has blessed the race of man to change and hope that "Yes We Can". The new battle cry of the old and the young. who together cried out "our work has begun". With a leader I felt these eyes would not see, a brown skinned giant who looked just like me. There may be hope yet I tell myself. We may yet make it past our past.
