you're gonna love me​



gauntlet's been thrown down

and it's the precious blood of America on the ground



so i promise to hold her broken heart together

with both squeezed hands



apply the balm of bipartisan politics to its gory edges 



pump accountable public servants through its New York-Washington artery

and, in doing, toss a lifeline to the struggling middle class



believe. we. can.

triumph over even the worst odds



stand beside me





you're gonna love me



political wunderkind



hybrid of Ivy League Conviction

"third world" pragmatism



call me not the lesser of two evils 

but the clear choice among many

the Dream who, at long last, pulls up a seat in kings' company







yes, you're gonna love me

till the honeymoon is over

till the romance runs past its 'sell-by date'

till a vigilante Senate

gives my enthusiasm rope enough to hang

on the financial and healthcare and energy crises



yea 

you'll take your disappointment

black as i take my coffee                                                                 black as i take my women



whether history will vindicate my decisions

is anybody's guess

our heroes and our villains 

are often one and the same



can't vouch for how i'll use the power once i get it



this is just me 

asking you

to vote

Obama

in those local libraries and high school gymnasiums



sincerely yours,



Your future Mr. President
