He hypnotized Americans
with his perpetual charm,
he won a million hearts
with his appeal and warmth.

The color of his skin
didn't matter more,
for the reason behind his win
was his unmatched candor!

He made no bogus speeches nor
did he make dubious claims,
putting America to the fore
he promised to usher a change.

He held helpless hands
of the poor and the old
and placed their issues
at the very threshold.

With a vision for his nation
and immense love for Americans,
he pledged to make a difference
in the lives of billions!

Obama defied history
and made his place,
he is one man to whose tune
the whole of America sways!
