The Path To The White House

This time last year I learnt of a Black

Having enormous aspirations, his name was Barack

Eyes were on him and what he brought

People were believing the change that he taught

Americans for the first time were ignoring race

They were accepting the man and not the color of his face

His promise is of hope and change and  that we

Together can revolutionize politics if he was the Nominee

Obama had obstacles from the critics voices

They tried everything to influence people’s choices

Hillary competed with all that she knew

Ever stone she turned and sink she threw

World interest peaked and soon it was clear

How many nations supported him, how many would cheer

It is incredible that there has been so many

That back Obama and his Candidacy

Every opportunity to disparage and defame

Had no effect on supporters who remained the same

Obama brought an interest not for decades seen

Unmatched number from voters as early as teen

So I wrote this collection of acrostic poetry

Every one written to commemorate this path in history
