Sarajevo - Home Again

SARAJEVO - HOME AGAIN Don't worry little girl, you need not cry, we know your tears, and feel them every one and all too well, though many more must die, you will go home again, it is not gone, but merely re-arranged, or burned at most, the place called home still thrives for you one day to dream and build again, a fence, a post, four walls to keep you safe where you can stay, and never see again man's evil eye nor feel the pain of hate that brought this on, and though for now you sit alone and cry, the bombers and the butchers will be gone. Your home is safe, and waits for your return, Though nothing's left, except what will not burn. © Ron Arbuthnot
