Two days away from the election...I along with millions of others have watched Senator Obama's ascent, courage, and indefatigability with amazement and pride. He stands as a beacon to all who dream of a world free of divisiveness, prejudice, and animosity. On the eve of the election, I have selected this poem in my Politics and Literature blog to reflect the indomitable strength of this man. Good luck Barack Obama and thank you for daring to enter the world stage.

William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903 7. Invictus OUT of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance 5 I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, 10And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: 15 I am the captain of my soul.
