THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS
Beams of light are entering shyly
into the
darkness through
dungeon bars
Carried from the bridge are resounding
Screams and chains and wailing cries
Confined prisoners the defiant
The
suffering paying their price
The
walls are echoing
With
whispers of the final prayer
Falling down the tears of blood
Frightened by the ferrous tide
And
the Infinity’s deadly voicelessness
Perished the wholesome the innocent the hungry
Against the injustice to rebel
To
their children bid farewell
For
the freedom of their children when they drew
that
final breath
Drawing close the final moments, my life
May
you never forget
That
moment of horrid death
The
innocent could not object
The
prison drowned in tempestuous sea
Immersed the dungeons in sharp water entirely
To
pieces scattered victims hearts
Bodies and souls torn apart
With
a screaming cry
Heavens let out a painful sigh
Saša Milivojev in Venice
