Truth Be Told : A Time for Change

Check out this grassroots poem written in support of Barack Obama by Olatunji Talabi

Truth Be Told : A Time for Change

Who Pays the Price, When Our Leader Lies
Who Sheds the Tears, When a Hero Dies
Who Wipes the Tears, from his Mother's eyes.
Who Lends a Hand When a Hero Tries
To Pick Up the Pieces of His Own Life
Who Risked his Life for You and I
Who Fed us Lies and Who Was Right
Who'll Lead Us Now, You Decide

What We Need Is An Agent of Change
If We Really Want to See a Change
Some People Think We Need More of the Same
We Know the End Result Will be the Same
Because We Know There Is a Better Way
So We Know There is a Brighter Day
How Can We Spend a Trillion Dollars On War
When It Wasn't One Worth Fighting For

What Good Is Wealth, Without Good Health
What Good is Health, When You Have No Wealth
Who Lifts Our Spirit Enough to Hope
Who Gives Us Hope When We Need It Most
Is What Some Say, Really What They Mean
Is What They Mean, Really What It Seems
Who Seems The Same, Who Leads A Change
The Choice Is Yours, It's Time For Change
