Sabahudin Hadžialić

BLUES FOR MY EX-COUNTRY/HOMELAND

I had a country.
They took it away.
They did not ask for permission.
The very same people who
now
want to establish
customs zones,
introduce joint parliament sitting
and start to exchange war criminals.
The very same
THEY
who caused the trouble in the first place.

I can only say
one word
COUNTRY/HOMELAND
One day you will realise
that
PEOPLE lived there for generations
and not… NO, DON’T SHOOT !!
