Sarajevo - Stolen Waters Sweet

Sarajevo - STOLEN WATERS SWEET Forgotten by a world in need of sin, They reason not one thing no one could know Nor question what has come from now and then, the burden they must bear, and never show. How much indebted all the world should be for stolen waters, sweet, unto its taste and looking not, when there's so much to see. before their very eyes, in total waste. And though in Harry's Bar, so Florentine, All Mercinarie's lovers egged them on, To be the dogs of war, they've always been, Not caring even if they're dead and gone. Their stolen waters, sweet, from Holy Word Can never quench their thirst, if never heard. © Ron Wilson
