Two Years And One Song Later
Aus Rotten

Tuesday May 18th is a day in history

It's a day that has been contantly repeated for years and years

A day no more or less significant than any other day

It's only a blur in the endless carnage and suffering

That possesses the stinging similarity to the Nazi holocaust

These atrocities, however, are happening right now

It's just another day of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia

Ethnic cleansing is the Serbian invented euphemism

Describing the atrocities being committed against Muslim and Croatian civilians

The war that began in April 1992 was predictable

What was not so predictable was the cold-blooded murder of civilians,

Nor was the massive deportation in over crowded cattle cars

Of trains to concentration camps

Upon arrival at these camps prisoners are sheared like sheep

Denied medical attention, food and shelter many die in these camps every day

The grass has all been ripped out to eat

When it rains prisoners find themselves standing up to their knees in mud

Only a handful of these prisoners bore arms against the Serbian soldiers

The Serbian government has given orders that special treatment be shown

To healthy women between seventeen and forty years of age

Tens of thousands of these young girls and women receiving this special treatment

Were systematically raped with the sickening plan of impregnating them with Serbian seeds

And making them bare a stranger, which is then to be taken away

The world strongly stated Never Again after World War II

This may be the reason why most of the world seems to be ignoring this modern day genocide

Tuesday May 18th, 1993 ws the date on the newspaper that held the gruesome picture of

A woman holding a skull that once belonged to a loved one

This single picture outraged me and opened my eyes to the ethnic cleansing

I had previously overlooked as just another war?

It was a slap in the face that I still feel to this day

A constant reminder of the pain caused by human ignorance and greed

Almost two years and one song later and nothing's changed, except for the death toll

How much longer will the people sit silently by... as history repeats?
