Odd. It doesn't mention peace, war or bombs. Strange seeing as the lad got a Nobel Peace Prize in advance for being the first president to be at war for eight years, bombing more countries than George Bush, destroying two Arab states, overthrowing at least two democratically-elected governments, and drone-assassinating numerous civilians without so much as congressional authority to wage war.

It doesn't appear to fulfil any of the basic requirements of poetry other than how it's typeset. It's fücking shíte.
