Obama isn't Malcolm X
Martin Luther King Jr, Jack Kennedy
or Lyndon B. Johnson
Obama is a jovial Israelite
Bill Cosby, Ice Cube
even Morgan Freeman
He's a bitter salve
Served in a flashy Happy Meal
The first Lord Regent weaned on Sesame Street
Who learned to swindle with the finesse
of insidious Ad Men
While Paul pulls punches from a place
of pure politicking - its original intention:
To convey policy, to opine openly
Some shrug indifferently
Others make a sour face
2011 wasn't Creme de menthe
2012 won't be a balm for chapped innards
The jig is up
Our number's been called
Advance in line, Knight to C7
Trip sullenly on your shoelace
Tug morosely on the sinew
Of the Last Empire
