STRENGTH OF CHARACTER; NOT COLOUR OF THE SKIN

How time flies? I was looking for a book i misplaced recently and I came across an old exercise book I misplaced about two and half years ago. Not that I really lost it. but I really was not looking for it per-se.

I quickly noticed the exercise book because i knew it habours one of my poetic expressions. It was a news bulletin on our national network television on the then impending American general elections. That was 2nd November, 2008. Americans were about to choose a new leader. The uniqueness of the two major candidates made the impending presidential election a potential historical watershed in the history of elections in America.

After watching the news review by my local network television, I grabbed this available notebook and put down some lines: That was 2nd November, 2008. It has to do with the impending American election which was few days to be conducted as at that time.

Strength Of Character; Not Colour Of The Skin.

Not Long Time Ago,
Alone in my own abode
News of American coming elections
Flashed on my local Television.

America! That great country!
Respected and feared
Among the multitudinous countries of the world
Is planning to choose another leader.

One great country
Two great parties,
One united ambition,
Two great sons of America.

From the couldrum of one great paliament
Came up the strengths of two great men
Hoping to occupy only American White House
For an initial period of about 35000 Hours.

The big marketing strategy begun
Marketing of candidates
In front of the electorates,
Truely, Americans are interesting.

The calibers of the two candidates
And their able lietenants
Are historic, and passionate,
Educating, Worthy, and appreciating.

One is older, experienced and pragmatic,
He had once suffered for what America stands for.
The other one younger, fresh and focussed,
Breathing the breath of future change.

One is white, Americans love his whitishness
One is black, Americans love his colour
Because they know that it is not the colour that matters,
It is the strength of character.

Whoever wins this pacy race
Will have a beautiful speech
Which one phrase will say
'God Bless America'

As I salute the great Americans
From the jungles of African continent,
I hereby also say.....
God Bless Africa.

When you get to your throne
Forget not the Jungle of Africa
So that we can develop our character
Not crying on the colour of our skin.

In our character lies our strength
Not the colour of our skin.
God Bless America
God Bless Afro-Americans,
God Bless Africa.
