Where Have All the Soldiers Gone?
One of several graveyards we passed on the way out of Plitvice Lakes, where the “Homeland Wars” bloodshed began with the assassination of a park ranger in 1991, and continued until 1995, leaving over 20,000 dead and half a million displaced. Tomorrow, as promised, this week’s monochrome history series ends with a Brighter Future.
Lifting the title from Pete Seeger, with gratitude and without apology.
The dead’s mute eyes haunt
The living, as if crying,
“Ask no more of me.”
