What Maya Angelou is blind to…
Hey Maya, why ya choosin Hill?
Is it because you're friends with Bill?.
Your sister Oprah wants to know
why you don't want her man.
A black man in the White House should
be what you'd want. (I'd think it would.)
And furthermore Obama rhymes
with more than Clinton does.
I know you read your poetry
when Bill was sworn in '93,
when first Hill was the First Lady.
But now it's Bama's turn.
Barak deserves your deep dark voice.
So come on, Maya. Change your choice.
He's poetry-in-motion, girl.
And handsome. Boy, oh boy.
