The People Prevails

The people prevails This day dark clouds are hanging over us they didn`t move making the day into night. The old people say they have never seen a day like this, as God Catholics make the sign of the cross. The end is near. Women wear scarves tightly on their heads, to protect their hair against the sun and the weather. The Queen of England used to wear a scarf; she doesn`t do that anymore. Lest people think she is a Muslim. The hate against all thing Islamic has not reached our village yet. Jews and Arabs used to live in harmony in Spain, then came the Christian horde and brought murder and disharmony. Who is going to rule? For the people, this means little they till the soil and pray to God to tell and pray to a god of their choice to lead them, which now is a God of dubious morality, a pope and empty promises. In the end, the clouds parted and the night was starlit.
