Precedent for President


In 2008 

a black man was voted President

Precedent

for young Kings and Queens

who always thought because we didnt have the means--it was impossible

little did we know

that while our robes and crowns 

were laying on the ground

they were always there

it just took one to share the dream for the rest of us

to glean that which is said

"I have a dream"

now its not just what i feel,

but i know that it can be real.
