See Obama as a White!

Can you see Obama as a white?
Dream of Him as a white
Forget his face as a dark
Pierce his mind
To understand him soundly,
How loreful power
He has!

Yes,
His skin is darker than yours.
Sure to say, all prophets had same
coats
Hence, they enlightened us.

We believe Jesus was dark—
Never been white
Was mixed of all good genes
Till populace announced Him
The Son of God

Obama's
Brain cells are crystals,
Honesty shines of his eyes.
Like his mother’s blissful soul
And his father, who left him,
Traveling back
To die sore in the Sun’s land.

Grannies raised him as a white
Brought him
To love his country
As well as every human race.

He selected Joe Biden—
A real gentleman
Exchanging attitudes to save lives.

Sounds all clear,
Analyze your mind
Till you say,
“Why, I can’t see Him
As a real human
Accepting his dreams with us
Turn into veracity
Persisting constatly to rise.

Sylva Portoian, MD
(Sylva-MD-Poetry)*
Armenian poet for Obama
I’m asking President Obama, “are you going disrespect our genocide like your predecessors?
