The Lost Filipino

Geopoet writes the realism of the political spectrum of the Philippines from the ground of the Filipino masses. It portrays the realistic views of the small people who felt they are wrought of mass poverty as a result of so much political squabbles and bickering both from the top and lowest echelon of their own government. This is their story...our own story and it starts now...

PRES. OBAMA’S INAUGURAL SPEECH CHARTED A NEW WORLD’S COMMON GOOD THAT WILL OUTLAST US ALL

My eyes was about to enter into the gloom of sleep, rest was an inevitable incline as I was waiting for a moment to witness the oath taking ceremony of the first black and the 44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama.

As the TV chatters a hissing sound, I felt that there is an impending rainfall about to engage. I kept my eyes open and alert, as the TV anchormen and reporters changed views and comments, expressing high hopes, expecting a lot on the outcome of this most awaited moment of our time here in the Philippines---the oath taking of Barack Hussein Obama to be the president of the United States of America.

The clock is about one minute before midnight. I saw President Obama walking silently behind invited guests; eyes sternly determined, and as he heard his name called upon by the master of ceremony, he bowed his head and went out to the open receiving the awesome cheers and cries from a far out sea of crowd. He raised his hand in acknowledgement. Small drops of rain started to rage as against the sound of my TV. I pinned the volume of my remote control to increase the sound of the TV to overcome the reverberating sound of a heavy rainfall upon the roof of my house. But the rainfall was short-lived; it stopped into tiny intermittent drops upon the roof my house, and the inaugural ceremony started on TV, the defining moment has come, and I was awake when it did finally come to pass.

My excitement was doubled or even quadrupled as the first black President of the United States took oath and he paused a while for his inaugural speech. And he started it all by saying, MY FELLOW CITIZENS; and the words run through every odds of dream fulfilled and dreams to be resonated at the every mind of a people whose greatness is incomparably rare and unique in the history of the human pages; evoking the hope in hopelessness, determination to unchartered journey beyond every clime of nature, giving a bright light on every human spirit, recoiling the long-shattered history of virtue and purpose, reinvigorate the inner strength of courage, of bravery, of integrity, and of self-discipline as against all untimely storms.

The rarity of character in President Obama’s speech is far more upreaching and enduring as it clearly exemplified the beauty of nature found within a human person. His exposition of history, his well-verse analysis about the world in great danger and turmoil as it faces the far-reaching network of violence and hatred only spell out a timely creed of character that is needed at this time.

There was an unrelenting spirit that would not spoil a bit of trust and confidence bestowed upon his total character. President Obama’s views in world affairs only expound the richness of patience in every footstep ahead; it unveils the unexpected caravan of timeless spirits that resonates a high plane of fortitude, of piety, of helping hands, and even eliminated the barrier of rugged terrains high up on mountains, tested by agony and fear, and surpassed the lean measures of propriety and a clear vindication of willing hearts to submit in clearing out the enmity’s long battle within the human spirit to face a righteous order of the day; his invitation to those people whose aims were to sow terror to meet a victorious end to therefore cease from engaging the same was an insurmountable rectitude.

He sowed to every heart the value of being an American citizen and a citizen of the world, home and abroad, with a clear vision of a chartered destiny by which the American nation is willing to assume while it would fearlessly face the greater responsibility to instill freedom and liberty, and rights to every human being in pursuit of his own happiness.

President Obama’s speech reassured the world of nations that America can still do its assumed duties and responsibility in order to maintain balance of power among leadership of every nation. The dreadful threat of nuclear destruction will be defaced only when countries will try to define their place in history.

There are a lot more on the speech. So, I decidedly to keep a copy of it in my phone and in my USB storage, so that from time to time, when I have the urge to review his performance, I can refer back to the sound of his voice and in every page of his speech.

I hope that indeed America will find their redefining place in pages of history.

HURRAH! AMERICA! LAND OF PLENTY! LAND OF HOPE! SURELY, THE MILK AND HONEY WILL OUTLAST US ALL.

HURRAH FOR THE NEW ISRAEL!

Finally, the speech soothes a weary heart and it will be a lasting treasure to remember by.

Now I rest this moment to outlast a new dawn of the day. Good morning world!
