People of Sarajevo, I salute you.

I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS

In front of their very eyes,

Those who built the civilization,

You are killed,

Without a chance,

to say no to the war.

People of Sarajevo,

You are killed at market places,

Back streets of the town,

While running away,

With your child, pressed to your chest,

Fell down to ground,

Your market bag flied to one side,

One of your shoes flied to other side.

Just yesterday,

You dreamed about the future,

With shadows at your face,

By the sacred trees next to river.

Now you are killed,

By the snipers without faces,

And by their hate gone insane.

Also you got the bonus,

Your museums,

Hospitals,

Libraries burned down to ashes,

With professional care.

People of Sarajevo,

I salute you.
