a critic,a cellist and a cyclist in bloody sarajevo...faramarzsoleimani.com sarejevo, how many times you are dragged to mass graves on the hills or at riversides and returned with your body hit by hatred and soacked in blood ?
o silent sarajevo !
I FOUND BONS MOTS,
WELL SAID
SPARE SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
"BE KIND
TO HUMANKIND"
ON THIS DAY AND AGE.
IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS,
BOSNIA IS CLEANSED
OF BOSNIAN
AND SERBIAN
AND CROATIAN.
THEY'RE ALL GONE!
LAST TIME IN THERE
MANKIND DEVOURED MANKIND
THIS WAS 500 YEARS BACK
THAT YOUR FATHER KILLED MY FATHER.
NOW IT IS NOT EVEN 15 YEARS
THAT YOUR FATHER KILLED MY FATHER,
AND MOTHER AND CHILDREN
AND CATS AND DOGS
SINCE MASS MURDES AND MASS GRAVES
OF TRIBORO BOSNIA.
THEY ARE NOT THERE
BUT THERE.
IT FELL APART MORE THAN ONCE.
IT IS FALLING APART NOW
TO A NASTY SQUABBLE ONCE MORE.
I DON'T WANNA SEE THOSE FOTOS AGAIN
I DON'T WANNA LISTEN TO
BRAVE CHELLIST
I DON'T WANNA PEE
ON SOLDIERS PICTURES
MAD MEN ARE AT LARGE
OR IN THE HAGUE
OR LEFT ALL THE HATRED
AND LEFT THE WORLD.
LET'S BE KIND
TO HUMANKIND
O SILENT SARAJEVO !
from: faramarz soleimani's poem,
o silent sarajevo (1991-1995)
in english and farsi,
under print.
