There couldn't have been a better time
Than this defining moment
For the revelation of
A forty years dream
To come in a completely sealed package
Its content sleek
Yet ordinary

I am proud
It doesn't have to do with a touchdown
Put a touch up
A slam dunk, jail time or probations
But a smash of knowledge
Wit and smoothness
Endurance and hope
Inscribing history
With a left hand

Barack
You've smashed not only
The highest glass ceiling
You broke the crystal ball
For there are no more predications
The wait is long overdue
Now is the moment
This is our time
