Hi

This is a poem in honor of Barack's election by Tom Greening, editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology.

NEW MAN UP FRONT

When the wheels came off the old bus
I laughed, until I realized
I was on the bus.
I said to myself,
"We'll be OK
when pigs fly
and the bus becomes a hovercraft."
But it's time to get off that old bus
and stride into the future together,
citizens of a great country,
with a new man up front.

Tom Greening

I think it shows an opening for our movement.
