Maybe (poem)

Maybe

maybe today is the day
when there will be no beheading

maybe the gang rape of the
13-year-old girl doesn't happen today

maybe today the rich get a little
bit poorer and the poor get
a little bit richer

maybe today the education of
our children gets more priority
than the regulation of
which couples can marry

maybe today a politician gets
elected who does in office
what s/he pledges on
the campaign trail

maybe today is the day
I win the lottery even
though I never play

--Charles Deemer
