Early days of peace

 + early days of peace +
The early days of peace
When the cannons stilled
Guns back in grease paper
Shells in armoury stored
Those early days of peace
When anything seems possible
Humanity appears responsible
Foes are no longer feared
And friends tight to hearts held
Until the early days of peace fade
The ways of past reoccur
Selfishly propositioning life
So greedy for our fill
Blocking out the hope
Running down the past
Those early days of optimism
The early days of peace
Were never going to last.
