#bosna

bosnia is a country that lived through war, genocide, corruption, and decades of political dysfunction. many of its people are still carrying wounds that haven’t fully healed.

and then there’s this team. from edin dzeko, who was just a child in besieged sarajevo and grew up to become the greatest footballer our country has ever produced, to esmir bajraktarevic, born and raised in the united states, whose family comes from srebrenica. a place forever marked by the worst genocide in europe since wwii. and they are only two of many. so many of these players were born and raised outside bosnia. they could have chosen other countries. instead, they chose this one.

Premalo života

Da pijemo lošu kavu

i igramo utakmice

koje nisu naše.

Kratki su dani,

Da volimo pogrešno

I pogrešne,

Da se dajemo kad ne treba.

Jer, život uvijek vreba

I tu gdje si danas,

možda nećeš biti sutra.

Drugi ljudi će čekati naša jutra,

Ne misleći na naš spas.

Budi tu sada,

Dok sam rada

Da te volim danas.

Jebeš druge živote, živote.

Šta ako je sa druge strane ništa,

Pa propustimo šansu za nešto,
