Slaves were freed

The Land cried and cheered

A culture was Lost

And a nation Divided

As a new day began on foreign territory


Soon America "Had a Dream"

To unify the masses

As the whole world watched

and criticized their actions

The Dreamed plowed the soil

The Blood moistened the ground

The Son shed some Light

For a new day to come



The birth of a Legacy

the First of his family

Popular was the name

no one rejected a Kennedy

On the brink of its horizon

Assassination was the goal

As a conspiracy ripped through souls

America sat and tarried for

A Dream to come alive

As generation after generation

Quickly passed by



Hope deferred seemed

the Song of Our Story

As patience grew thin

man never refused to give Him glory



America Had a Dream

A Black president was not in the making

Although all of Their accomplishments

Never stopped Them from trying

to become that 1st Black president

of a nation slowly dying



With families killing families

At the wake of a 3rd world war

An economy designed to bankrupt

As the crime rate soars

The rich race to aide other countries

Which is quite alright

But who will help Mista in America

who has given up the fight?



His name isn't common

In fact he's the only one you know

A man birthed from "The Dream"

with determination, vision and hope



Our future looks brighter now

and A change is pretty evident

We salute you Barack Obama

America's FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!
