The Serb General

The Serb General 

I used to be a general, 
drank plum booze with the best
now I sit in a jail in Haag
waiting for their verdict.
This that I should sit here in this country
with cowardly soldiers 
who would not fight when my army came,
but gave me the key to the town
I find this deeply disgusting.
