Year of Obama








Summer is at door, hot, humid, and rainless

Earth is torched, thirsty, brown and famished

Birds of Golf dying in oil, soaked from wing to wing

Helpless, heartbroken of manmade greed disaster

This is the year of Obama


Flotilla is broken; blood is shed on the deck of 6th ship

Children of Gaza are hungry, no pain medicine, and no shelter

World roared in rage for blockade and cruelty

Obama remained cautious, silent, mute, unchanged

This is the year of Obama


Homes are lost, hope is sick, and honey bees are dying

Trees are leafless, sky is empty, and laughter is dead

Families are in distress, no job, no work, and no possibilities

Text books are battle field of faith and science

This is the year of Obama


Drums of war in full swing, disaster on horizon

Devil in clothe of angel, angel in chain

Empty promises, see of no change, bending to lobbies

Gray hair is mine, gray sky is mine, pain is mine

This is the year of Obama
