Obama: Reaching For Hope

If I were an American

I would say, “Yes, we can!”

My soul would fall into naivety

And for once, give into hope.

.

We Brits, moan in the trudge of decline

We spread cynicism

Like butter on toast

When our technocratic leaders pontificate.

.

We need his kind of inspiration

We need to believe that change can happen

That we can believe in hope

Then we’ll improve from the ground up.

.

He is the heir to Cicero

The man to move beyond Martin Luther King

The man to make us colourblind

And a truly equal world.

Wulfstan Crumble knows that for all the hope in the world politicians may fail to live up to their reputation or downright lie. With so much invested in his philosophy and rhetoric Barak Obama has to deliver if he wins. I hope he wins, so we may all believe and that he delivers. One day perhaps someone will come who truly wants to put Britain right and then we can believe too.
