The Fifth Summit

I have a special interest in the Fifth Summit of the Americas which took place in Trinidad on April 17-19 2009, because I sent a special delivery by special courier to President Barack Obama. I am very happy that the President will be reading “Path To The White House” that I wrote as I followed the elections in the USA last year. The collection of over 100 Acrostic Poems should be nostalgic to any of the players or anyone who would have been following. But I continue to write and I continue to be floored by the things that people find important. Take what’s in the news recently, a hand shake and the presentation of a book.

 

The Fifth Summit

Trinidad was host of the America’s Fifth Summit

Hugo Chavez and Barack Obama shook hands at it

Eager to mend the breaches between their countries

Fences broken down by previous authorities

It was a Kodak moment with their thumbs interlocked

Fist clenched in each other’s but it gave critics a shock

They wanted the leaders to go for the throat

Have verbal fisticuffs not peace promote

So when President Obama received a book from Chavez

US media behave like these were the last days

Many of them said that the country was sold out

Media promoted that Obama signed away America’s clout

I think Obama knows when to take on a fight

This President knows precisely when to deliver his might
