A poem contrasting the political styles of Barack
Obama and Osama Bin Laden, written when the two were adversaries:
Obama meets Osama,
Brandishing a word
As deadly as the sunlight,
More potent as more heard,
As true as it's absurd.
Osama meets Obama;
Suicide meets life.
As certainty meets hope,
Meaning meets the knife.
Absolutes need night.
