    Poem Commentary

    This is in solidarity with our President Barack Obama, who is in office for only a year but is expected to do more than his 'opposers' would allow him to do. It's politics as usual for them. Not important issues.

    National Amnesia

    Never have I seen so much amnesia!
    Our people have forgotten so much in the political arena,
    They had for gotten in one year the country's state,
    When Obama took over the country and the date,
    It is so disheartening that he's been villified,
    For all the efforts he had made and methods he has tried!

    Patience is running out for many who's eager too,
    To get the job that they wanted and be like the wealthy few,
    But I say Mr. President continue to try!
    Even though they slander you with big and little lies.

    Rememer when the Bush's were there what we suffered too,
    No one remembers the ones at fault for punishing me and you?
    With ridiculous blunders and bad decisions that caused economic woes!
    That have won them many shame and many political foes!

    Never give up the fight Barack,
    Never give up this phase,
    Continuse to fight for better healthcare no matter what the craze!
    You are so near to victory I can see it coming soon,
    As your skeptics cry and fuss their howling to the moon,

    Have no fear, Poemeater; Obama's hardly a shrinking violet. As far as the ethical/moral concerns your piece addresses—it stopped being about right and wrong a long time ago. Really superior work!

    Thank you so much for such a kind comment. President Obama would appreciate that. He deserves a chance to accomplish what he has set out to achieve.

    I found this poem refreshing all though I didn't agree with all its content, I am tired of all the bashing of our leaders no matter if their Republican or Democrats,

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
