Our predecessors who came before us Sacrificed much to give us the best Going through unbelievable tribulations & trials Some failed so others could pass this future test.
To sit where we were not supposed to sit To say what we were not supposed to say I guess others thought this was still slavery days Where ‘Da Massa’ still had his own wicked way.
Setting up paths we were meant to follow To name Rosa Parks, Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King They alone braved up and faced the scorn They weathered the storm others wanted to bring.
In 2008, this fourth day of November Finally brought in a chance to rearrange In a mixed race Black Kenyan and White Kansan Sixty million Americans voted him in to bring about change.
Others said it would never happen Others wanted to keep our dream as unfulfilled broken dreams But when a nation finally came together as one In Barack Obama a new breed of President and hope will be seen.
Millions held hands all over the world, All colours and creeds celebrated crying tears of unbridled joy Because who would have thought what was an idea… Having a Black Man as President was no longer a ploy.
An inspiration to all especially our black youth This is a glorious day to remember He proved that to go to school, get a job, dreams can come true So remember and hold dear onwards on this fifth November.
Don’t deny your aspirations Nor let them pass you by Mr Obama ran and won the race for President Achieving the impossible... so you can fulfil your dreams, soar and fly!
