When the Obama's leave the black house,
The Senate will be white,
The Congress, white,
The Supreme Court, white,
But he will still be black again

When the Obama's leave the black house,
The walls drained of soul, will be white,
The flowers frozen to stone, will be white,
The new laughter filling the home, will be white,
But he will still be black again

When the Obama's leave the black house,
The streets will be blue and red,
The states divided, blue and red,
The country untied, blue and red,
But America will be blue, red, and white again
This is actually an answer to a guy who made a similar poem in 2008 when Obama took office. There's supposed to be another more positive part, but I'm not good at being positive, help would be nice.

When I open my eyes,
I'm here again,
Blue skies, incoming dark clouds, Blink,
I'm here again,
Climbed a mountain, thought it was a mole hill, long trip through the fall,
Breathe,
I'm here again,
In an Audi going 140 on i80, the blur of signs blind me,
Beep beep,
Crash,
I'm here again,
Made it to cirque du soleil, the universal smiles make me frown,
Laugh laugh,
Cry,
I'm here again,
In my dorm, start studying, you know ***** can't crack calculus,
Puff puff,
Pass,
I'm here again,
Satin sheets, brown stains, when I sleep I fear I'll dream,
I'm here again,

My Friend

My friend sings to me,
Dancing in the dark,
She chants hymns to me,

My friend calls to me,
Standing at 5 foot 20,
He soars over me,

My friend speaks to me,
Loud and bellowing,
His voice echoes in me,

My friend reads to me,
Assured and supportive,
She believes in me,

My friends walk with me,
Laughing and smiling,
Their love reaches me,

I cracked her like an egg,
Unable to be put back together she would beg,
But together we were worse,
Her tongue a fiery tyrant,
On my back she made me move mountains,
With a disdain for her fiery taint I climb away from her,
But the top of the mountain frost bitten I long for the warmth,
Not of her body but the warm sting on my cheek,
When the violent nomenclature hits my lips,
This is for everyone who knows someone in an abusive relationship, and doesn't understand why they don't leave.

Grow,
Good morning, get up, get going, get out, get it?
Get giggity, giggly,
Great, get in, get quite, real g's move in silence, and gesticulations get goons gone,
Go ahead, go forth with great care, go far, go out, get lost, go back,
Grasp green garments,
Go on,

Respire,
Read rhetoric, read rhythm, read rhymes,
Read people,
Respond resplendently, require resolution,
Realize, rain rains, read rain rain gauge,
Risk rewards, run rapidly,  run rampantly, run triumphantly,
Rise up, rise on, ride horses, ride waves, ride on,
Red letter days,

Irked?
Inhale, intake, insure, inhibit,
Intuition informs insides,
Imitators idolize, I irk, irritate, insist Immaculate
Inspire innovation, incite celebration,
Inner id ingests infestations,
Ideal installed,

Move,
Make much of it, make mistakes, make mends, make merry, make cheer, make love, make peace,
Mind, mind manners, mind time, mind love, mind peace,
Move, move over, move up, move in, move out, move on,
More so, more smiles, more laughs, more life, more understanding, more peace, more love,
Marvelous magenta muse moves me,

Exhale,
Exhibit excellence, energize everyone,
Eat east, eat in, eat out, eat everywhere, with everyone,
Exhale, exit anger, exit stress, exit breath,
Enters euphoria, enters energy, with ease

Need,
Need no one, need nothing, only neo Nazis,
No, need necessities, need neurons, need Nutella, nourishment,
Now know knowledge, know profound power found in numbers, now know nothing

Restart
Reduce, reuse, recycle,
Reproduce,
Re-energize, refuel, revamp, repeat,
The life cycle

Take up that man's chalice,
Take heed, your heart must have known malice,
Take heed, your now in that man's palace,
Take heed, your pride cannot be *******,

Eat of that man's berries,
His children laugh and play,
     As you eat his blue berries,
His children are far away,
     As you eat his wild cherries,
Eat of the strange fruit swaying from the trees,

Walk in that man's hand,
Feel his moccasins get filled with hourglass sand,
Listen to the locals cry out in a language you will never understand,
Now know what it is to be that man,

— The End —
