Welcome To Croatia (Free verse) by Caducus
First class hotel,
first class resort,
where classy people rest
upon the restless dead.
In silent foundations of past
In meshed embraces
Serbs and Croats meet
on foundations of future
as brits and krauts gorge
on apple and swine
adding flesh to their bones
and the jews who served them
Welcome to Croatia.
In glossy brochures
a toothless old woman smiles
paid to look authentic
As her old towns not mentioned,
replaced by safe excursions
where broken bloodlines
who fished the sea's belly
run moonlight cruises
For twelve euros,
And like this poor bastard
You pay a higher price
Welcome to Croatia.
Tourismâs hit Croatia.
Oh come sweet laser guided bomb
You hit softer
and targets are the guilty.
Oh come sweet bombs to five star Hotels,
level the whitewashed masks
and show our faces
of silica and china clay,
that house mass graves
of three eyed skulls
And then,
then I can truly say
Welcome to Croatia
