The blanket of hope

There is a sense of peace and tranquillity now 
 what transpired a little over an hour ago 
will forever change my life as well as yours.

But first I will relish this calm before the storm 
 Even though I know this is a blanket
 that has been pulled over this side of the world
 I will enjoy it in my fantasy until the mood breaks once again

They want us to feel safe again.
 In our minds we will have the everlasting hope 
that plagues each and everyone of us
The wish and promise of peace

 We convince ourselves that we are safe and the malice has moved on
 To another group of  victims of misfortune 
.Have we not had our share of terror for at least a hundred years 
Have we not suffered enough

 The blanket is starting to lift and the terror is bubbling in my soul
This is to be the end  of everything we take for granted
The noise is deafening and they are descending upon us
The blanket has lifted
