Hope Demands We Embrace Humanitarian Needs

serve as a language interpreter
in immediate aftermath post
apocalypse Yugoslavia war split

few are raw images peace ready
to build embrace while flesh soot
ashes still blow onto our clothes

into our hair hope faith demands
we embrace humanitarian needs
gift heal mediate peace raw wounds

into fires fresh flesh flames look
deep into crime military looking glass
to laugh dance at recent adversity

to serve needs of suffering humanity
such character courage cultural activities
are needed to help heal restore souls
