Dear Mr. President,

I just wanted to share with my readers a poem that I composed a few months ago about CNN's favorite subject, Mr. President, Barack Obama.

I hope that you enjoy it.  

It's Lonely There.

To a Nation that will crush a leader,
Obama elected.
We hope we don't hurt you but
collateral damage is expected.
We have built you up to tear you down.
We are sorry. It is our way.
No one leaves unscathed.
Our wrath, because of your former,
because of you,
because of your new ancestors,
brothers, predecessors.
You are commander and
We will always question
your authority
and follow blindly and not care.
We will rip apart your words
to analyze their heart.
You will always be found:
Wanting. Genius. Untried.
Still, you are the “New Hope” of Our hearts
and the prayer of a Race.
We are many and one.
We are unchanging.
We are mercurial.
We are not indifferent.
We are proud. We scold.
We love you and we hate you
Because you are the Chief
and everyone knows how they feel about
the Man on Top.
