The declaration of independence by Kosovo echoed around the world. Personally, I am chilled at the thought of another conflict in this region. I wrote the following poem after the last conflict. I join all decent thinking men and women who fervently wish for peace.
Live well,
Ollie Lind
Race
Dead and dying should be heard,
be they Moslem, Croat or Serb
Come, see all, our fall from grace
Because of hatred t’wixt the race
Why is it that we must kill
to live according to our will?
Should peace and harmony abide
down life’s broad highway we all ride?
Should religion be our faith
or force of arms decide the fate
of mothers, fathers, children, men
decide what, how, why, where or when
To live in shadowed death’s disgrace
each one according to his race.
Ollie Lind
