Barack the Magnificent

by Mighty Sparrow

The respect of the world that we now lack,

If you want it back, then vote Barack!

Because this time we come out to vote!

Stop the war!

Stop genocide in Darfur!

No matter what,

Get health care for who have not!

The Foreign Relations Committee,

Can attest to his tenacity,

For homeland and job security.

He stood his ground

When the war was a conception,

Said it was wrong,

So he didn’t go along,

Jim Baker and Lee Hamilton

They said of Barack’s opinion,

“He’s a man of resplendent vision!”

I know the warmongers are anxious, ready and set,

Saddam is who posing to us our really main threat,

They magnified Saddam’s offences,

Now we’re paying the consequences,

Everyday our soldiers joining the trenches!

Barack! Barack!

He’s fighting for openness and honest government!

Barack!

He’s doggedly defiant,

Phenomenal strength and wisdom beyond comment!

After you put we in a quagmire!

Not this time!

We come out to vote!

What’s at stake?

Clean up Washington overall!

In the wake

Of the Jack Abramoff scandal.

The middle class done elect a man,

It’s without representation,

This régime has too much corruption!

He wants to see,

A whole energy policy,

Inclusively,

Extent? Comprehensively:

Renewable fuels to clean coal,

There’ll be no price gouging at all,

These things are Barack Obama’s goal.

Entrenched in the crooked régime, we must all, take note,

They’ll be kicking and screaming at me, so we all must vote!

By not exercising these rights,

It’s refusing to see the light,

Democrats! Rise up! Stand up and fight!

Barack! Barack!

On the Senate Affair Committee he’s a giant!

Barack!

Dignifiedly resilient,

And with rock star status he’s Barack The Magnificent!

You talk about how you won’t cut and run,

Rumsfeld and Rove, that’s what they done!

But not this time!

We come out to vote!

Not so government work!

As a grad,

From both Columbia and Harvard,

This GI lad,

Want all others to study hard,

We’re the wealthiest in less respects,

Without proper health insurance,

Walter Reed Hospital, for instance.

Quality check!

Every wounded soldier should get,

Not abject neglect,

All providers must give a heck!

Health care must be affordable

And easily accessible,

Make existentialism enjoyable!

Without that we could be living in pure misery,

Psychological, mental, even insanity.

Loving husband, father of two,

That is Obama’s point of view,

Religiously-urged family value.

Barack! Barack!

Civil rights lawyer who taught constitutional law.

Barack!

Super terrific, I quote,

“Candidate of note!”

So, make sure he gets your vote!

Subpoenaing them gets you no answer!

The Attorney-General can’t remember!

Not this time!

We come out to vote!

We know he’s young,

But, with the Wisdom of Solomon,

Not like that one!

He has experience, look what he’s done!

Insurgents have just one focus:

That’s to put a hurting on us.

Worldwide security must be enforced!

Immigration

Could even get further outta hand,

The border plan,

He’ll protect in legal fashion,

Undocumenteds would get time,

They’ll have to atone for their crime,

Criminals would be kicked out, behind!

Employers who hire illegals and who outsource,

Know it’s unconstitutional and time to change course,

Special interests ain’t facing facts,

Illiteracy and slavery could last,

Disenfranchisement gone, the time has passed!

Barack! Barack!

The first black President to lead this mighty nation!

Barack!

We’ll regain worldwide respect

with Obama’s vision and excellent comprehension!

The respect of the world we now lack,

If you want it back, then vote Barack!

Not this time!

We come out to vote!
