2008 American Presidential Election Poem - Obama + Langston Hughes + Oprah = Sweet Bitterness Poem by john tiong chunghoo

chocolate
i cant resist you
your sweetness is
tantalising Oprah Winfrey
at the top of her wits

chocolate
your colour is
earth where cotton(
warmth) , cocoa (health)
and sugar cane (sweetness)
grow

chocolate
i love you
your charm is
invigorating obama
spilling the beans
for a new White House
a new America

chocolate
i love you
your sweet bitterness is
Langston Hughes
line and line of
soulful verses
to reflect on the
challenges of
a black and white
