Srebrenica's Descent

Contributed by otisandus on Monday, 11th September 2006 @ 01:37:12 PM in AEST
Topic: political

This is not an artifact but the truth.
Each kilometer a mosaic built up by centuries
of overlapping civilizations, everyone finding
at least something that reminds him of home.
They are the tactile impressions you remember all your life.

Love, friendship, untouched nature.

Can any nation -- or individual -- withstand
the maniacal passion of mass sentiment? Each of us
has supposed to dispatch our root tribal instincts to a
predetermined station in the mind, a place where
contempt is not a thing to be despised.

Ethnicity is the language of war in the Balkans.

The murderer and the casualty each justify
their occupation in the obscure grounds of reason
on which all moral conviction rests. When an
opinion is strongly rooted in unconscious emotion,
it gains jurisdiction by having a measureless
weight of argument against it.

Ancestral fealty methodically held in check suppresses
the guttural utterances of genocidal purpose.
The safest way to claim national soil is to eradicate
any trace of clannish permanence -- mass graves
to house the enterprise of religious certitude.

In moist earth, the lessons of brotherhood interred and unlearned.

This city should be surrounded with barbed wire or
a high wall and turned into a museum of human madness.
