Poetry in the Time of Obama

Bob Dylan, from his Christian phase: Is he a Prophet?

Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more,
You can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin'.
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave,
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan.
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.

-- Bob Dylan, Slow Train

I can hear the wail of that train's whistle in the distance, can you?
