In 1981, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wrote the following poem in the Occidental College campus literary magazine "Feast."
Under water grottos, caverns
Filled with apes
That eat figs.
Stepping on the figs
That the apes
Eat, they crunch.
The apes howl, bare
Their fangs, dance,
Tumble in the
Rushing water,
Musty, wet pelts
Glistening in the blue.![]()
