Sarajevo
Medjugorje, Sarajevo
Croat, Muslim, Virgin Mary
Mount Olympic, downhill racing
Orthopaedic amputations.
Glitter, glamour, flowers trailing
On the ice rink, at the paling
Shells explode in shrapnel raining
Scraps fall off a rich man's table.
NATO, Serb, United Nations
Business suits negotiating
Wires barbed for concentrating
Nobel prizes there for staking.
Ethnic children all escaping
Rake the bus, and rake the graveyard
Mostar caught at cross of Nations
Wall St. blips - Get off the paper!
Jesus.. Allah.. Who's my neighbour
Blood's the same on every pavement
Ottoman and Christian enclave
Crucified in Sarajevo.
Where do they get those guns from anyway?
