Seeing Obama In You: You Are Powerful Too
|
Posted By: Christopher Donshale Sims on December 19, 2008 We look at Barack Obama as a poweful, graceful, and divine being. He has earned every right to be considered as such. Barack Obama has come from practically nowhere to raise our conscience, elevate our plight for hope, and encourage us to believe in ourselves and this country. He is a transformative figure who has displayed the strength of ten men. However, we posses the same strength, bravery and confidence. In us, there lies the divine will to accomplish anything we set our minds to, and to move the people and world around us. Barack has shown us this by empowering us to help him turn this country and world around. He would not be where he is, if wt were not for our power and drive to take this country to another level. We have used the struggles, troubles, and deaths of our foreparents to equip Obama and ourselves with the tenacity to reclaim America and to move it in a direction it needs in order to sustain itself. How dare we not consider ourselves strong?? We are this, and much more. By firmly believing that we are in intricate part in Obama's progress will forever connect us to his progress, and create new realities and elevation for ourselves. I believe that each time we look at Barack Obama, we see ourselves. We see beauty. We see knowledge. We see the sacred. We see help. We see progress. We see the posibility of change and hope that was bound to come to this country, to this world. It was your mental might that helped us get here. It was your spiritual stregnth and the powerful of your prayers and meditations that helped us get here. Barack Obama is you. You are Barack Obama. As a Black male, every time I look at an image of Barack Obama I feel I am looking at a reflection of myself. I too am intelligent, an intellectual, transformative, challenging, knowledgeable, confident, and ready for America's challenges and progress. Each time I speak with someone about Barack Obama, I feel I am speaking about myself too. That his progress is my progress. That his talents are my talents. That his will is my will. I will not separate myself from the same energy and power that he used to get where he is. We are all a part of this magnectic and beautiful strength that is needed to carry us into a new future.
