On Reading of the Behavior of the Bosnians After the Supposed Success of the Peace Pact

 

Dear people of Bosnia,

Fight on, you fools!
Turn your country into a field of reeking,
Maggot-ridden carcasses!
Blood makes the grass grow! Hurrah!
Kill each other, so we can all be rid of you,
Medieval thugs!
Or...
Maybe consider the benefits
Of civilization
And try to settle the score with words
Instead of shells.

Sincerely,

We, the people of the United States
