Europe’ soft belly was now burning

We’re in 1995

Dead Tito’s bloody mess

Like when you try

To mix water and oil

In Srebrenica…

She was carrying life’s gift

Father’s pride, mother’s dreams

A love ball growing slowly

With all of hope’s weight

In a torn country, a besieged city

In Srebrenica…

Trapped in hell

No food, water nor light

A winter without heat

Miles and miles to quench

Your thirst or avoid rat meat

A dangerous walk through war

In Srebrenica…

What will be your next life?

Where will be your next wife?

In Srebrenica

Where hate met weapons

Where Serbs killed for their nation

Where misused history reasons

Gave a genocide beyond comprehension

What will be your next life?

Where will be your next wife?

She was shot, she fell, by hate

Paralyzed by pain, and fear

Her own blood filling her mouth

Suffering iron taste of sorrow

Man came to rescue, same fate

Suffering agony, together Crying for their baby blessed by Kalashnikov

In Srebrenica…

Cross lines of death

Sniper’s religion

Vengeance or mercy?

Relieved from their lives

“They won’t suffer anymore”

Safe thoughts for the soldier

Pulling the trigger

Bury these images for now

You’ll pay the bill later

Maybe in Srebrenica
