The Obama-Nation

January 20, 2009


Will the Obama-Nation become an abomination if it fails to

stop the bombing of nations? From Gaza to Afghanistan, the

American people must take a stand and tell Obama to forge

a better plan to free the land of Zionist and the Taliban. To

stand up against corporate bailouts while prisons are left out

for change like a business with out clout as 2.3 million prisoners

remain in chains.



Change became a mantra defined on a political precipice

forged in steep words unprecedented by one who won the

right to be the 44th President. Supported by beliefs sold

in edifices of worship bonding the ideals shuttered in the

hearts of the dispossessed whose hope for tomorrow has

not regressed. Yet, time sours faith in hungry bellies as

the unsheltered endure the storms of lies, alibis, and corrupt

government undisguised as the media realized exposing the

truth could result in a covenant Pulitzer Prize.



A future is born with a change of power on this day and in

this hour with an oath of office the Obama-Nation must stand

in allegiance, against torture, Abu Graib, Guantanamo Bay,

rendition and detention just to mention how the U.S. derelictions

became the world’s affliction. Evolving from 8 years of

disconnection, disaffection, humiliation, dissatisfaction with

the Bush administration corporate affiliations that led to U.S.

financial ruination.



The Democrats believe they can, since Obama told them

“Yes We Can,” Americans hope this is not a sham – as

participatory democracy is more than a four-year election,

since each day the Americans should strive for perfection,

healing the planet as they heal themselves of racism, sexism

and capitalist exploitation, to improve America’s place in

the World of nations.



No drama in the Obama-Nation is the expectation, void of

hesitation folk’s anticipation the 44th will elevate the level of

peace dividends given in Clintonques deliberation face to face

with world’s representatives, like ebony and ivory side by side

championing U.S. hegemony in perfect harmony. As Gates

secures the gates of the Pentagon to sustain an imperialist

presence from Iraq to the China sea, who is to believe change

can be conceived with National Security Agency secrets up

their sleeves.



The continued embargo of Cuba and Haiti a scandalous exercise

of power, as Latin America excise North America in its revolutionary

shining hour. Iran seek nuclear advancement as the CIA creeps to

hinder its expansion, an inexplicable situation given the arms race has

move as far as outer space, continuing to militarily arming Israel and

Taiwan, while North Korea produces nuclear energy the U.S. attempts to

prohibit proliferation not of its control, using food as a weapon toward

an obvious starving nation not keeping with its humanitarian goals.



Afrika stumbles into the 21st century with corporate proxy wars, none

keeping score as economic devastation brings multiple horrors. The

killing of babies and raping of girls, arming of children leaving the

land trampled with scars. Afrikans hope the Obama-Nation will plant

seeds of democracy, negating the hypocrisy of years of neglect without

regret, and yet, AFRICOM is a serious misstep. While Asians in Malaysia

the largest concentration of Islamic moderation confounds U.S. inclination

to confront jihadist of Al-Qaeda’s persuasion in its population.



On the home front, Martin L. King Jr., proclaimed we as a people will get

to the promise land, while Malcolm X said it will be either the Ballot or

Bullet, so could it be hard to understand the 44th like a Manchurian candidate

manipulating the political landscape, permitting the Patriot Act to prohibit

progressive or revolutionary tact believing true liberation after today has

become a point in fact. By virtue of the ballot, the revolution has been high

jacked, the Black bourgeoisie has been notified America is now sanctified

and the promise land gentrified as the Obama-Nation is satisfied. But

Cointelpro victims remain classified in prisons, yet to be rectified with

truth and reconciliation, no way to start anew in the Obama-Nation.



So with a historic inauguration by pomp and circumstances though crying

eyes, a new era to inspire a generation of possibilities beyond rhetoric.

Anxious for the audacity of hope to spring eternal in humanities fratricidal

brotherhood with service to the nation negating race or class as societies

underclass test pomp and circumstances with stark cold reality of growing

unemployment lines with the economic situation continuing to decline.



My warning to all while the band plays “Hail to the Chief,” with a military

seven gun salute, to not become hoodwinked or bamboozled, nor forgo

the political determination to end the embargo of Haiti and Cuba, to Free

Puerto Rico and Palestine for this is not the time to recline in building struggle.

To keep U.S. hands off of Assata, because we gotta free all U.S. political

prisoners in the spirit of knowing We Are Our Own Liberators!
