SALVATION HAS REACHED
SERBIA ONCE MORE
(Demon Devil)
Traumatic times make for an ace in the hole:
bring out the flagellants, the fires, and all those
guns. Look at the flames along the roadway, and
think who made them. (We've never managed
motivation well). And was that you, out there
singing at the drain? (I was at the hospital just
yesterday morn. Yes, they were all dying in droves).
-
The youngest of the five, the small artist, he wants
to come home but there is no place left. We haven't
yet told him, and no one really wants to : his sister
was raped and mangled, and his father is dead.
Salvation has reached Serbia once more.
-
I remember (I think it was) Mostar or Srebenica Bridge,
one of those - all the killings, and the bricks came down.
Now the water runs placid, along the shore and the grime.
The old men are sitting in chairs and having their time.
Salvation has reached Serbia once more.
