I am a poet
I am a scientist, an engineer
I am a man
I am Black and proud
(Say it loud)

Bolaji,
McCain contested with Obama and lost, what else would he have done than to concede? Others did that too.
The thief on the cross was wise and astute. He needed to enter paradise, but the life he led wouldn't guarantee that for him, but accepting Christ would.
Any wise and astute person would have done what the thief did.
Being wise and astute are not extraordinary traits.
By the way, I admire your attempts at poetry, I however, prefer the scientist side of you.
If you nevertheless insist on being a poet, I will begin to consider myself "a great man" like McCain, for making a world class scientist to prefer to be known as a poet!
CAO.
