Thoughts on the Attractiveness
of Barack Obama

I don't want to feel hate....
I don't want to feel hopeless....
I don't want to feel depressed....
I don't want to wage war....
I don't want to torture people....

I'm tired of living in a nation despised by the world,
... with good reason....
I'm bored with politicians telling me to be terrified....
I'm disgusted by the politics of destruction,
... the politics of corruption,
... the politics of greed....

I refuse to be afraid....
I refuse to be angry....
I refuse to hate....

I want to feel good about being an American.
Is that so wrong?
