Yes We Can (A New Poem)
by Carol D. Mitchell
Friday, December 26, 2008
Rated "G" by the Author.

Save

Become a Fan

From the dust - yes we can

YES WE CAN

HISTORIC ELECTION

Yes we can rejoice in this win

Gold peach face; a chiseled V-grin

Martin Luther King saw a ghost in his dream

BarackObama was apparent it seems

Yes We Can heave a deep, deep breath

For what emerged from the dust; let them rest

White House doors built by slaves

He walks into a future for what they gave

BarackObama “Is” Mr. President

Kings in graves see “Just” how it went

Yes We Can see the smoke from the past

Change has come at last, at last

Yes We Can lay our heads down at night

Seeing slaves once hanging now seeing light

Remarkable young “Men” exceeds being black

So transparent for us all not only just for that

Yes We Can

Congratulations Mr. President

Even though I disagree with him politically, this is an incredible moment in history that many many african americans have worked towards for more than a hundred years. I love this.
