To the Victor
SARAJEVO - to the victor...
Another cease fire's come and gone into
the same old past, their bit of history,
as morning gunshots greet the mourning who
have come to grips with how their lives must be;
though some had hope, there was no great surprise
that well intended plans have little chance
and ev'ry cease fire's been, a great disguise
for gaining time and changing circumstance;
who's wrong and who is right, no one can say,
all right's defined by men of victory
and all the rest is cast out of the way
into a dark the world can never see.
Uneasy peace and war are both the same
and it's too soon to try and lay the blame.
