From Bondage to Bond

 

These days of the civil war

Between our two major political parties,

The United States could sure use a good dose of hope,

 

An infusion of inspiration and faith,

To buoy our sagging belief

That the future intends to include us in its unfolding,

 

A human force capable of persuading nations

As well as our own struggling citizens,

That America is devoted to their needs, their woes,

 

A mind vibrant, curious, capacious, relevant to the times,

Open to wise counsel, visionary conciliation,

Not narrowed with hubris, delusions of grandeur,

 

A voice speaking, by the electorate's consent,

For the benefits, rights, and security of a free people,

A leader whose word is our bond — Barack Obama.
