The horse, the night, and the desert, they know me
And the sword, the spear, the paper, and pen
I am the one whose literature the blind can read
And whose words the deaf can hear
—Abu Tayyib al-Mutanabbi (it rhymes in Arabic...)

Now, the 0bama version:

The terrorists, the congressmen, the senators, they know me
And the Iranians, the Koreans, the Chinese, and the Syrians
I am The One who makes the blind see
And whose speeches make the deaf hear again

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Your poem matches Obama to a "T"...(btw, was there any chance your poet was Muslim? Wikipedia didn't say.)

Cheers!
