The Day I Became The President Of The United State Poem by Alan Wong

I know this is not a poem, and it's a short story! I want to share with you guys......hope you'll enjoy!

On 4 November 2008, the day Barack Obama never forgets in his life. Sooner he will be the President of the United State of America. During his 2 years long-term marathon presidential campaign, he always mentioned about “Changes”. Do American people really want to change? Do American people think Obama’s experience or previous works can change America? Do American people think he is a dreamer, just to show that he has the ability to change? Obama always said he could change this or that thing, but what in him that couldn’t change is the colour of his skin. “Is colour of the skin really matters? Does ability of a human being can be differentiated by their colour of their skin? ” Obama proved it doesn’t matter.

One evening, Obama sat in his office and he carried his ipod with him. He’s resting on his sofa and played his ipod for some kind of tune to ease his mind. A piano tune came out from his earphone and few seconds later, it was John Lennon’s famous song “Imagine”.

“Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…”

Inside his mind flowing a lot of questions like “Why do the white people hate black people? “Why did our country send out troop to fight in IRAQ War? “Why do the senior executives at Wall Street still as greedy as a wolf and ignited the financial crisis? “Why don’t we get ourselves together to work for the same goal?
He thought over and over again and the song nearly came to an end:

“You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one”

Finally, he got the answer to the questions and he delivered this special speech on 20 Jan 2009 as follows:

“…………I had a dream, and now the dream come true and witness by you all. Some may say I’m a dreamer but now I can tell them I’m not the only one. I hope that now you all can join us, and live this country as one….Thank you! ! God Bless America”

This is the day that Barack Obama became the President of the United State.
