Sarajevo Dream

SARAJEVO DREAM
The freeze has brought them to a winters' night 
they've made themselves, forgetting what is right, 
and they can see their children cry 
but not a one will reason why, 
nor think upon enough to see the light. 

There's no repent for killing as it's done 
and no resistance to it going on, 
just hate on hate that only grows, 
the hint of peace that never shows, 
with lots of blame, enough for everyone. 

And to this chaos, we have paved the way 
for men of opportunity to play 
and build their fortunes from it all 
while winter makes its frigid call, 
and brings another dark and longest day. 

The heros are not known, til dies are cast
 til all has slipped away into the past, 
and truth is what a baby hears 
but laid to rest in later years, 
and right is not defined until the last.
