I received a letter from an overseas reader of Miscellany101 who also happens to be an admirer of Barack Obama. This reader sent me a poem to express the hopes he/she has for Obama and the US. It’s nice to see people from other worlds hold such enthusiasm for America. I think that’s one of the reasons Obama was elected to inspire people from other lands to regain confidence in the US. Anyway, I post this poem without further editorializing or comments on my part.
A ruler like no other
birds of peace with him flew
a ruler at the same time a brother
for poverty gave a million clue
for terrorism he’s an archer
lot of plans to eradicate them he drew
someone we’re proud of to be a leader
you might wonder I’m talking about who
Obama, people say he’s a healer
and he proved that, that’s true
