Analysis of Those peaceful days
Humza Ilyas 1981 (Pittsburg)
For those peaceful Dayton come I yearn,
A time when we might not feel this dread,
But to get there we all must learn.
A place where money need not we earn,
To ensure that our children are fed.
For those peaceful days to come I yearn,
Where flames of hate & evil won’t burn,
And brothers won’t shoot each other dead.
But to get there we all must learn.
Where the good are easily discerned,
And leaders has sense in their heads.
For those peaceful days to come I yearn,
Where people’s troubles are put astern,
And the truth is quite easily said.
But to get there we all must learn.
And so with these thoughts I shall adjourn,
But know that you have not been mislead.
For those peaceful days to come I yearn,
But to get there we all must learn.
