Maybe you're right.

Maybe it was written by some down and out facist.

Maybe my country and the whole of the US is simply filled with racists and we just haven't sussed it out yet, because some of the English Folk World is so busy bullying people on other threads, that they're overlooking this important matter.

Maybe the lawyers aren't getting rich everytime someone wants to sue someone else.

Maybe the kids aren't getting pregnant/having sex without their parents knowledge, whilst their schools and GPs aid and abet an illegal act.

Maybe so very many adults haven't let go of all their responsibilities, leaving children wandering around in a world that doesn't seem to give a shite any longer, because they're way too busy behaving like bafoons on some BBC radio shows.

Maybe the banks aren't bankrupt.

Maybe the country isn't bankrupt.

Maybe the people aren't bankrupt.

Maybe they're not losing their homes because they borrowed 6 to 10 times their salary, fed by greedy bastards who would have given them more.

Maybe the criminals don't have more rights than their victims.

Maybe our kids are drinking themselves half to death on our city streets every day.

Maybe that piece about the little lad being sued for sexual harrassment was made up.

Maybe the kid with the mouthwash was being a little bastard after all who deserved kicking out of school bigtime for larking around.

Maybe Truth, Trust, Discretion, Responsibility, and Reason are still alive.

Maybe I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim never got to be born.

Maybe I've never been one of the majority.

Maybe I still remember Sense...and his twin, Sensibility, along with Integrity, Empathy and Compassion.

Maybe, now that Barack Obama has ridden into town, he remembers them too.

Maybe he was never one of the majority either.

Maybe Hope is now out there.

And Maybe, just maybe Hope is here, because Denial, Stupidity and Apathy have finally started to be buried.


Maybe.
