Night of Change
by K. L. Belvin
From the past cries of "I Am A Man"
to the current cheers of "Yes We Can"
His God gifted light shined ever so bright well
into the cool November night.
The man who would fulfill the dream deferred
no longer would we be unheard.
The roars grew louder with when each state turned blue
as we watched a new future come hurdling through.
With a ground swell unseen to this very date there
was a decline of those precious red states.
The people's voice was loud and absolutely clear.
The statement of change was the echo in each other's ear.
Now Lord we ask to please relay these thoughts,
thank our brothers and sisters for the wars they fought.
For this great day wouldn't be the same without
the sacrifices of the brave but faceless with no historic name.
Your bloodshed is not forgotten but
instead it's honored with pride and grace.
It wasn't just the new president who brought
tears to each jubilant face.
It was the collected spirit shared by our
at times overlooked race.
But this day wasn't only for us of the same color
It was for the moment that now we can all be called brothers.
The 4th of November was the final step of a race
ran above common racial drama.
For today the world must say
"The 44th President of these United States is Barrack Hussein Obama"

K.L. that was write on time, and articulated in meaningful prose! Change is inevitable when faith and hope is charitable to predestined value. To that effect, we all know that an ordained order is at hand where the last is finally first with a man of color leading the way. The soul of the man will give rise to a new order in the Black House! We indeed are poised and ready!

I'm luving the message and the presentation.
Thank You Guys,, When such emotion flows it's time to grab a pen or head to the PC.. I am happy to have been able to share this moment with my grandmother who was there in Washington with Dr. King for his "I Have A Dream Speech"
Blessings guys!!
K.L.,
This poem comes at such a perfect time and it is very inspiring to read. It just feels good to know that what our ancestors stood for is finally coming true. Everything they fought for has truly come to pass! Beautiful piece!
