YES WE CAN
HISTORIC ELECTION
Carol D. Mitchell Copyright ©2008
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

Finally, with the passing of time great people who have paid the ultimate price for freedom are now at peace. Your powerful poem speaks of glory with a change for a better future, YES WE CAN are wise words to live for - Absolutely sensational!
Thank you Carol, your friend Stuart
