The War is Over.

 The war is over, but tell that to the broken windows, the apartment complexes, the bombed out schools, the pockmarked mosques and the countryside's landmines. The war is over, but the country is still divided, maybe more than before. The war is over, but tell that to the victims, the mothers, the sisters, the wives and the children. Tell that to the survivors and the soldiers. The war is over, but it is not over for them. There is a generation of men missing. There are hundreds of children under the age of 20 that carry the weight of a history they did not live through, but they know. The war is over, but tell that to the museums. Tell that to the journalists, tell that to the novelists. Tell that to the historians. The war is over. Tell that to the people living in the abandoned houses of their enemies. The war is over. Tell that to the people buried in the grave yards. PHOTO: Sarajevo,Bosnia. The remains of a building.
