Sarajevo 1995 - Another Cease Fire

SARAJEVO-1995 Another Cease Fire As old as death and cold as nevermore all set to stone, by those who've died before; the acts of love, though viewed a falacy reveal the truth of what has come to be and given to what friendship has in store. This city with its palaces should die though all the world would come to wonder why, for better off the world would come to be than letting blood to flow so fast and free in gutterways, where life lives on its' lie. There'll never be agreement, in our day for east is east, and west, the other way, and taste for blood is strong and long and deep, from promises that time will never keep, and all the world has nothing more to say. Who'll end the peace so fast we'll never know enough to place the blame where it should go? There's always time to bury those who've died but not enough for helping those who've cried, and peace is what the reapers never sow. © Ron Wilson aka Vee Bdosa the Doylestown Poet

Sad but very true, and my prediction is that it is not over in the Balkins even as we speak, and about to flare up again.

This is gut wrenching stuff . Only those who intimately know fear and the stench of death on the streets can understand the insanity. The tears of Sarajevo and Bosnia was all for nothing.

Extremely thought provoking and well written. An absolutely beautiful poem. I love poems about history. History is a reminder of our humanity and all that is a stake.
