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
