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
