The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. — Bertrand Russell
And what if we are wrong after all? What
If we don’t have the right to live our lives
In a culture we see fit,what if not
One portion of our history can jibe
With what is universally known to
Be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
The truth? What if our standards aren’t true,
What if people should simply adjust, put
Up and then shut up under conditions
Designed to replace their indigenous
Ethnicity with dark coalitions
Of strangers? What if we are ungracious
And are ungrateful in our hatred toward
A world that just wants to merge us forward?

That seriously disturbed me! Are you going through a period of depression?
As if depression, should it fall upon me, would change my mind! The answer to every one of the sonnet’s questions is : “We are NOT wrong, even when we doubt ourselves.” I thought that the title would point that out, but I wonder if I should retitle it? ( Thank you, though, for your concern–I really do appreciate it. )
Fantastic poem, Juleigh.
I really appreciate your and Leo Yankevich appearances here. Often movement-produced culture is of inferior quality, and only gets attention because its ideologically correct. With you and Leo it’s the other way around though: If providence wills a time will come when the both of you are recognized as the literary stars you are.
What if we are negligent and thoughless for failing to encourage more vigorously, the joys of Multiculturaism, Diversity and Miscegenation amongst our fellow dark-skinned races so that they too can experience the pleasures of displacement AND replacement by other dark-skinned races in all of their respective ancestral homelands!
Shouldn’t we (White people) be helping them to see that all races’ cultures and traditions (except for the White race, of course) are just as good as each other as to be interchangeable and discardable where deemed suitable and expedient with no need for debate nor consultation with the ethnic bearers.
What if we are actually remiss in not helping them share these said pleasures amongst each other in the same way their white-skinned fellow race has been steered into doing over the past seven decades.
What if, indeed!!!!!!!
