Domingo Goan Landicho PhD

Born from the womb of democracy
Offspring of free will and freedom
You are a sparkling rainbow
Of human dreams and hopes
So true and so real
So spiritual and divine.

A rainbow christened humanity
Of the West and East
Of Asia and Africa
Of Europe and Americas
Of the Home of the Human
And a Universe of Creation.

You are an Archetype
A living Symbol
With roots in the US and Kenya
And branches in Indonesia
A full tree in the wide West
Adorning the forest of one World.

A spectacle of a Universe
In a quagmire of its own weakness
Waiting the herald of a vision
Of love and faith
Of justice and peace
Welcome, beloved Barack Obama.
