Sabally's literary fingers deserve the biggest kudos. The poem above is echoing a big dream. It is to be strongly documented by historians that unlike other African Americans, Obama's parents didn't suffer the pains of black slavely in America. Obama's mother is white and his father, Obama Snr. is from Kenya. History will attest to the fact that, repatriated slaves were taken to Freetown and some other West African countries.
In the poem above, the author described a world figure that resonates with corners of the world, giving him a status and an African connection. In simple terms, the author gave Obama an attachment to America, a credit he earned big time -the flying Eagle. Beyond America, the author saw the rejuvernation of the Nkrumah ideas.
I must add that I like the fact that he is being compared to the many great world icons, but in reality, Obama's brain and strategy might exceed all of those figures that people measure him with. In that case, my humble observation, it will be important to make him (Obama) the standard of measurement instead because the best point should always be the standard of reference. At least, to be sure we are not scraping any of his ebony skin.
Thanks Sabs for a beautiful poem.
