AMAL

In the rhythm of the Pain of the World 
a song dedicated to a girl from Yemen 
who died of starvation


- Mother I am hungry,
I am hungry momma.
- Sleep now my beloved, close your eyes and see,
from Jannah your father shall return to thee.

Through remnants and ruins
and dunes of blood
seas full of dead bodies
and starving sharks
walked towards the sun in the skies
barefoot, faint and hungry
girl with teary eyes.

I am hungry momma…

Hungry mothers tears are trying to hide
from the eyes of their children
seeing mountains of bones of those who died

Body covered In abaya, crucified
trembling in the eye of the child

Even heavens cried the bloody tears
yet from brazen World
not a word was heard

- Daddy will not come back,
Instead to him I shall go.
I am not afraid to go on my own,
but mother, I am too late, I know,

Look at my bones, look at me,
my skin they cannot carry.

Bomb blasted
the Yemen train
ravaged the desert to deserted plain
dug out a living wound
a troop of pupils in a single day
to the voiceless pit forever put to lay

Wails are deafening,
fallen on their wedding died groom and bride
chilling cries on Pluto echoing

Clouds blushed in pink,
Angels all perished in a blink

Momma I am waiting for you,
smiling and hungry no more,
Come, daddy is waiting for thee
by the Jannah door.

Emerald green garden is growing,
fig tree is in bloom,
The river of milk and honey is flowing.

Professor PhD Mila Alečković about the poetry of Saša Milivojev

Professor PhD Mila Alečković Professor PhD Mila Alečković about the poetry of Saša Milivojev Had it not been for a fact that I myself am a child of a poet, I may have failed to perceive the talent of a young man who lives faraway from his hometown, yet not far from his ancient archetype. Was Sasha Milivoyev born a poet, or is this what he had become, out of what breadth bears in its trail, that sharpens the senses and adds up all the sufferings, regardless. Milivoyev is simply a poet in the melancholy backdrop of the maker, who is sheltered and strengthened by his verses. Milivoyev knows that with poetry one transcends to timelessness, to infinity, to imortality and namelessness in which we become the twins and transmitters of Chist's words, hence in his "Message After death" he says: And I have died, in antiquity, and noone ached for me. Some rejoiced, young as I was, as I bled on the cross, drenched in blood, in agony. Not a single tear rolled down for me, when they na

SASHA MILIVOYEV - BLACK STONE (MECCA, SAUDI ARABIA)

Kaaba, Mecca, Saudi Arabia Sasha Milivoyev BLACK STONE Mecca, Saudi Arabia Translated by Ljubica Yentl Tinska By the Black Stone Sinful, on my knees,  with tears in my eyes, I'm pleading,  begging for forgiveness, when blood-red turned the skies, the stone grew darker, blacker than night, and it used to be white, as luminous as the daylight, when from the Garden above, it fell many a warm Mays ago, when it fell from Jannah,  far, far down below, it was whiter than milk  and whiter than snow, blackened from within,  from human malice and sin. Never let it slip away, the dushman came from far away, tried bringing Kaaba to its knees, killing Muslims, the desert still bleeds, covered in corpses, devoured by rodents and beasts. The Judgement Days are dawning soon. The Sun will stop, merge with the Moon, Into the particles the hills will be shattered, spill like the honey that is melted, Allah will be a righteous judge to everyone, To the fires of hell, the monsters will succumb, The sto

Saša Milivojev - THE REJOICING SONG

Saša Milivojev Saša Milivojev THE REJOICING SONG Grateful to the skies And the darkest nights, To the moon and stars That are my night’s lights. Morning and the Mosques That wake me unsleeping, When hopes of new victories Upon me are awakening. Through these empyrean gardens Where black gold is flowing, No wicked thoughts are growing. No sadness and hunger, Resentment and pain, Here, one can love again. In the warm desert Thirsting for love. Grateful my life, To the blue infinity of freedom To the Sun that shines the light That gilts the sands with golden flames And the Sea that hums a lullaby Whose waters rise and fall with tide. Drown the troubles, surface blessedness, Here, where every cry diminishes. Grateful to the Nature, Earth and Water For the yields, Sweet fruits, Bees on flowers, Honeyed lips, Coconut in the palms of my hands And the wild beasts That emboldened me. The compassionate And the charitable. To the seed of men, Mothers that birth Children that warm our hearts And t

Саша Миливоев О ГЛУБИННОМ ГОСУДАРСТВЕ И САТАНИСТАХ - ВЛАСТИТЕЛИ МИРА

Image
Саша Миливоев Саша Миливоев ВЛАСТИТЕЛИ МИРА О ГЛУБИННОМ  ГОСУДАРСТВЕ  И САТАНИСТАХ Господи, разве не видишь ты, что красные ботинки из детской кожи сделаны? Из вен кровь выжимают, До капли последней ею цистерны наполняют... В подполье спустись ты, через секретные бункеры, В эти золотые города, посреди алмазного сада, в отели роскошные, в лагеря страшные, где у детей украденных глаза заплаканы и тысячами стонут в когтях сатаны. Тебя на ужин пригласят: Ребёночком зажаренным угостят. Кости - для растопки камина, В вино нальют адреналина. Они между нами, всегда возвращаются, Ботинки красные надевая, По пчёлам мертвым ступая, Кровью омоложенные улыбаются, В гуманности своей всех убеждая. А из этих городов подземных, Их от нападений защищающих, Из лабораторий неизвестных Миллионы вирусов и бактерий вылетающих, Мир твой беспощадно убивающих. Из-за них льды на полюсах тают, Наводнения тебя затопляют. Цунами города разрушают, Могилы и мечты землетрясения уничтожают, Всё твоё разоряют, Посевы от

PROF. DR MILA ALEČKOVIĆ O POEZIJI SAŠE MILIVOJEVA

PROF. DR MILA ALEČKOVIĆ PROF. DR MILA ALEČKOVIĆ  O POEZIJI SAŠE MILIVOJEVA Da nisam i sama pesničko dete verovatno ne bih uočila talenat mladog čoveka koji živi daleko od svog rodnog grada, ali ne i od drevnog psihološkog arhetipa. Da li je Saša Milivojev pesnik od rođenja ili je to postao u daljini, uz ono što daljina sa sobom nosi kada se izoštre sva čula i saberu sve patnje, svejedno je. Milivojev je prosto pesnik u melanholičnoj pozadini stvaraoca koga čuvaju i jačaju njegovi stihovi. Milivojev zna da poezija odvodi u bezvremerje, u beskraj, u besmrtnost i bezimenost u kome smo dvojnici i provodnici Hristovih reči i zato u svojoj „Poruci posle smrti“ kaže: I ja sam umro, davno, a niko me nije žalio. Neko je slavio, dok sam mlad u krvi do kolena, na krstu u mukama, krvario. Niko za mnom nije zaplakao, kad su mi ekserima kosti o tisu zakivali, dželati su pevali, a ja se slatko smešio. U tom kratkom životu, u tom paklenom kotlu, u zarđalim raljama prosio sam ljubav pesmama, uzaludno.

PROFESSOR EMERITUS PHD RADE BOŽOVIĆ ABOUT THE VERSES OF SAŠA MILIVOJEV'S "PAIN OF THE WORLD"

Image
PROFESSOR EMERITUS PHD RADE BOŽOVIĆ Professor emeritus PhD Rade Božović about the verses  of Saša Milivojev's "Pain of the world" A prolonged and warning cry of Saša Milivojev is always and anew prompting us to carefully contemplate the world we are living in. Alas, the world is far too small for a true literate and must be treated planetarly. However, these verses of Saša are not sent forth from Pan's flute, they are wailing from Rumi's Nay, a type of Middle-Eastern flute. And it seems as if, they are once again embodying the warning and worrying words of Rumi "Don't sit under a tree with those that do not understand you, sit only with those who know and understand you. Sit only under a tree that is full of blossoms", from now on.  My Saša, it is hard being a poet in these times, dry and wasted. It is as hard as ascending the Axis mundi , the never-ending, invisible, heavenly pillar. The heavens are soaring and the earth is unyielding. A timber po
