As salaam alaykum Dar es Salaam <br />your name echoes far beyond Amsterdam, <br />although occupied once by India and Arabia, <br />then vanquished later in Berlin by Britannia, <br /> <br />you still stand strong in one glistening piece. <br />Your name is an epithet of a coveted peace <br />peace that’s longed for or likened to fresh air. <br />Seemingly, you enchant all with your aesthetic snare, <br /> <br />such as your beaches, which turn into a bed of solace <br />where disparate people abscond to as their comfy palace, <br />foot-printing their hopes and wishes on your sodden sand, <br />as breeze from trees dissipates their sorrows into the strand.<br /><br />Lauwo George<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-salaam-dar-es-salaam/
