Water Of Sarayevo Poem by Siu Lun Tsui

Water Of Sarayevo



Water is running down the River Miljacka, telling Sarajevo's long tale.....
It nourishes the people of the "Europe's Jelusalem", provides holy water for all the Mosque, Catholic church and Orthodox church, in the same street
lt roars underneath the Latin Bridge, mimicking the first gun shot that subsequently took away 18 million lives, in mankind's first global atrocity a century ago
lt rushes by the side of the Bosnian National Library, helping to wash away the ashes of the 3 million books that burned down to the ground, durng the thousand-day seige 2.5 decades ago
Water is now running peacefully in the River Miljacka, hopefully it could help the revival of lives without fear and regret, in this ancient city
