[ Srebrenica, July 1995 ] When questioned by us About the wars of their time Our parents always reassured us They didn’t know what was happening. We don’t have that excuse. The evening news shows This liar and his henchmen Bustling women and children into buses Reassuring them that Their menfolk will follow shortly. The lesson learned is that Our promises mean nothing: A haven is safe if we want it to be. If not, our words are as empty As the bullet shells left on the ground After the massacre has taken place. |
