Fikret Alic prisoner
weighing light muscles slight
skin wrapped clingfilm tight
round boney ribcage frame
unfed hungering in foul
confinement fraught
with dread fear afraid
Â
heard tales true stories told
of Muslim men and boys
young and old massacred
at Mladic’ cruel command
taken single-filed frog-marched
into forest deep and one by one
murdered by pistol shot to head
fathers sons brothers others
in mass grave lie dead
Â
Fikret Alic survivor
stood outside Court* today
to hear the Court’s decision
that Ratko Mladic bloodluster
butcher of Bosnia
will spend his life in prison
for crimes he has done
Â
* International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
