ROCK OBAMA

Drew Lesso | 17.10.2008 10:08 | Culture | Globalisation | Indymedia | London | World

Inspired, the task of performing ROCK OBAMA saw eight days evaporate. This inspiration was surprising because at the time I was preparing a lecture on Hans Kayser Harmonics and writing algorithms in Mathematica. Mick Jagger could sing this song far better than me.

As an avant-garde composer, harmonist, Platonist and Pythagorean, who mainly writes a visual algorithmic music, I never expected that this campaign song for Obama would take so long to complete. Then, goals are only made possible through a most extreme hard work in combination with passion and fortitude. That is also what this election, what this next decade of development for a new energy economy, what implementing a progressive philosophy and getting in step with the rest of our world is really all about. Barack Obama is surely the man we can trust with our stuff. He will get us started on the task of changing our American sensibilities to accomplish the necessary cultural and economic unity within the United States of America globally, and place us on the path toward making peace with the rest of our world. These are the crossroads for this landmark election. Now we need to elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden this time.

Today, most Americans know that the New Federalism of trickle down economics founded in Ronald Reagan, God bless him, failed to produce a humane or lasting Union. Instead, greed has brought about a near financial collapse founded upon a hail symphony of deregulation, privatization, war, out of control executive power and a blind usurpation by Washington lobbyists disregarding We the People in their interactions within all branches of our government. It was but a short time ago that the great thirty-second President of our United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, intrepidly and not without success, fathered the idea of a Democracy based upon Social-Capitalism in America. Let's make this perfectly clear. Social-Capitalism is not Socialism. Therefore any citizen talented enough to amass wealth is welcome by Social-Capitalist idealism; to be all they can be, exactly in the same fashion as our current Capitalist system. Social-Capitalism is actually the form of government that is described in the documents of our founding fathers and in Plato’s now almost 2400-year-old Republic, to provide essential benefits to all citizens and assure a strong vigorous societal and technical evolution. Its primary elements are social security, healthcare, education from preschool through college, apprenticeship programs and preservation of our infrastructure. Secondary elements include financial regulation, maintenance of a standing army, agriculture and interior, setting standards, the rule of law and more than can be mentioned here; requiring watchful regulation and prudent governance. Now that we have come full circle more Americans of all incomes are beginning to understand the task at hand, it is time to elect a man who comprehends our American global future and that man is Barack Obama. We Citizens of America also need to take heed and become more active by communicating with our legislators at all levels of city, county, state and federal government. Real change requires great effort and strong ethics. Social-Capitalism will not occur in the short term, but probably within a twenty-year cycle and this should coincide with the development and implementation of the new global energy economy. This is certainly the side of the tree where the moss is growing.

Barack Obama is the right man, right now, for the job as President of our United States of America. His tempered use of the word 'enough' speaks volumes about the man. There is great strength in this man because of his ability to maintain equilibrium under fire as demonstrated many times during his long campaign. Along with his enthusiasm, his willingness to hear and seek out for discussion many possible and even differing points of view, his diplomacy and his impeccable career, first as a highly acclaimed student of Congressional Law, Head of the Harvard Law Review, University Professor, community activist, as a statesman, a United States Senator and with his excellent choice of Joe Biden for Vice-President all come together to make Barack Obama the best choice, inspiring confidence with leadership to direct America globally at the dawn of this coming Golden Age. These are not apocalyptic times! It is time to be a beginner! Humanity lies in a state of ‘Before Completion’, critical indeed, but not insurmountable. A Beautiful World Awakes! ‘He or She who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in Eternity’s sunrise.’ William Blake.

While I would like to believe that this election could produce an Obama landslide, this is going to be a very tightly contested race. Exactly the barrier we as Americans need to break and elect Barack Obama who is the most qualified contender. Try to make connections with our Republican and conservative fellow Americans! Find out why they support John McCain and let them know why they should change their support to Barack Obama. There is so much at stake. Become proactive!

I wish that you appreciated my idea for a campaign song. I do not aspire to the heights of American Idol. The intent behind ROCK OBAMA was not to write a political song, but rather a politician’s song following an American tradition, but updated certainly, like Tippy canoe and Tyler too.
