I really wish the dream about the bomb was just a dream.

 

I can remember a world where those words would have been fiction.

 

I remember when it would have been a scary image from someone's imagination, but now we live in a world where this is not a story.   

It is not fiction.  It is not just a bad dream that means something.  Or nothing.

 

Now I live in a world where it is news every week.

 

Somewhere, someone - some gun- some bomb- then-  

mayhem-and then people- dozens- sometimes- hundreds are hurt, maimed,  disabled or killed.

 

Every week, sometimes more often.

 

I really wish the dream was just a dream.   

I also wish that the range of a angry person's rage was two feet.    Or less.
