“Nura Alispahić, the mother of Azmir, had her entire family killed
Her husband (Alija) and her two sons (Admir and Azmir) are all gone
In addition to her brother, 12 of her nephews, and five brother-in-laws
Everyone was wiped out from the face of the Earth, their destiny was drawn

In addition to all of the hell that she went through
Nura’s daughter died after the Bosnian War because of intense grief
Why do Serbs get to do whatever they want to Bosniaks?
But then receive prison sentences that are very brief?”

“Graffiti showed the text of a Dutchbat UN soldier
Who said that Bosnian women had no teeth
He thought they smelled like shit and had mustaches, too
It seemed that evil took over and shared its view”

“Serbs murdered Safet Fejzić, Azmir Alispahić, Sidik Salkić
As well as Smajil Ibrahimović, Dino Salihović, and Juso Delić
These killers called themselves the Scorpions to display power
They thought they were gods, that they ruled society’s tower”

“There is a video online that shows the brutality of this crime
How a Serbian Orthodox priest blessed them to show support
These Serbs were so confident that Chetniks would win the war
They thought that they would never see the inside of a court

The cameraman of the Scorpions massacre video was disappointed
Because the camera’s battery was almost out
Can you imagine the level of evil that lived inside them?
This is why good people have to fight against such scum”

“More than eight thousand Bosniak men and boys
Were slaughtered mercilessly by Serbs in
Srebrenica
Who wanted Bosnia and Herzegovina’s land
Who murdered in cold blood, it was all planned

Mass graves were found on every single corner
Because torture is how Chetniks spend their time
They wanted to display their dominance over us
And commit acts against humanity, their favorite crime”

“I barely escaped Sarajevo in one piece
Chetniks looked directly at my mother
They were eager to kill us like mice
She saw their evil eyes, as cold as ice

They wanted to ensure our extinction
They wanted to plan our demise
But despite their ammunition
We were strategic, clever, and wise

Imagine being in a situation like that
What would you do?
What would you think?
How would you deal with the intensity
Of being afraid to even blink?

Think about people that matter to you most
What if they became like a distant ghost?
What if all your friends, family, and favorite things
Suddenly became birds with clipped wings?”
― Aida Mandic, Justice For Bosnia and Herzegovina

“What is life anyway?
Is it a bridge between thoughts and emotions?
Is it a reflection of brilliant and foolish notions?
Is it a system that provides methods to find roots?
Is it a map of many illusions and absolute truths?

What is life anyway?
Is it a gate to worlds that are not yet known?
Is it a farm where ideas are planted and grown?
Is it a tiny seed that blooms into a beautiful rose?
Is it a time capsule of experiences that you chose?”
― Aida Mandic, What Is Life Anyway?

“My grandmother was almost shot dead
Snipers proudly aimed right for her head
The world watched us lay in our own blood
As Serbian forces threw our bodies in the mud

They chopped off heads of Bosnian children
And thrust them directly onto a knife
So that their mothers felt the unbearable pain
Of having lost the meaning to their life”

I crave your firm kiss
And I’m happy we met
You are what I want
Exactly what I need

I love your sweet replies
I love your cheerful highs
Such a beautiful man
Who has a simple plan
To make me smile
Bringing laughter
To every ceiling tile
Just follow my lead

I love your sweet replies
You have a simple plan
To make me smile
Just follow my lead”

If you never let your fire fade
If you know how the game is played
Then you know how winners are made

If you ever went against the grain
If you thought you might go insane
Then you have the power to reign”

They said that Srebrenica was a safe zone
But clearly they did not protect us at all
Judging by the number of bodies and bone”

“There is elegance in your truth
There is a rhyme to your youth
There is a secret that keeps you whole
There is an essence to your goal
When you move your head to the side
It is because there are rules
That you don’t wish to abide
You know how to make them fall
You know how to deck the hall
With desires that move through your veins
Chasing after plans and their styles
You want the moment to last forever
A scrapbook of your soul and its smiles”

What we perceive is actually how we
Interpret our reality
And the universe begs us to ask
No matter how scared we feel

“I wanted to run away
From all of my problems
I wanted to find a zone
Where I could just be alone

I felt like people
Were out to get me
I was defensive and scared
Felt like no one cared

We tend to shut down
And push others away
When we feel pain
Its always been the same”

“Shout out to all my early Americans
– Irish, Italians, Jews, Natives, and Blacks
Despite your overwhelming Hardship, you kept going
Past all the barricades, your Blood Still flowing

Red, white, and blue, will not abandon our flag
History has been unkind, we carry it as a Bag
A painful reminder of the prejudice of Man
We have a ways to go, starting with the Ban
Of the Evil and Sadistic Ku Klux Klan”

“Divorces were common among Bosnians and especially among Bosniaks. Families struggled with new cultures, languages, hostility, memories, inner conflicts, and mental health issues in addition to physical disabilities (lost limbs, gunshot wounds, lips/noses/ears chopped off, etc).
They often argued with one another. Some emotionally abused each other out of rage, an inability to cope, diminished empathy, and frustration because there was no other place for them to vent. Some even fought with each other because they could not psychologically handle the traumas of past events. It was common for them to be injured or still have shrapnel from grenades lodged in places where they could not be removed due to a risk of death during extraction.”
