When they go low, WE go high

I don't have a PHD in rudeness

Or an MBA in lack of good manners

Or even a BA in be careful what you say

I do find ways to eloquently iterate my words

Even when they bite like Mike Tyson

And sting like Mohammed Ali

What I do have is a respect for Michelle Obama

Who struggled through eight years of hate and malice

And will ever use those words that helped her stay sane

When haters mocked and jeered and called her names

When her life was almost shattered by pain and tears

Because Barack and Michelle dared to dream

Of a world where all could live as one

Was their sacrifice all in vain

Not for all the grey hairs which a Black man gained

Pausing for a moment of his life to hope for change

WHEN THEY GO LOW, WE GO HIGH
