Saša Milivojev Saša Milivojev POETIC REBELLION The poet is a slap in the face of the system. The poet is proof that man is not a machine, that man is not merchandise, that the soul is not dead, that freedom is not an illusion. The poet is proof that truth cannot be concealed. And that is why you fear him. For the poet cannot be programmed. He cannot be bought. He cannot be silenced. The poet is a shock to the slumbering. He is a blow to the face of falsehood. He is a reminder that God did not create man to be mute, but to speak. And when he speaks—the world trembles. Not because the poet holds power, but because the poet holds truth. His silence is like a grave—in it resounds everything you tried to hide. The system demands obedience, but the poet offers resistance. The system demands silence, but the poet demands justice. The system demands profit, but the poet offers pain. The system demands oblivion, but the poet offers memory. The poet is not a roof you can tear down. He is a pilla...

Saša Milivojev Saša Milivojev RESISTANCE – THE POET CANNOT BE SILENCED! THE POET IS A SYSTEM GLITCH, AN ERROR IN THE ALGORITHM. I belong to no one. I owe nothing to anyone. I serve no one. My words are not bought with honorariums. They come from within me — from pain, from truth, from freedom. The persecution I endure is not punishment — it is the consequence of freedom. Because a free man is the most dangerous threat to a system that feeds on obedience. I will not retreat. I will not apologize. I will not justify myself. My very existence is proof that a poet cannot be silenced. My presence in global media, in more than 20 languages, without a single connection, without a single recommendation, without a single aunt in the service — that is my answer. I will not name those who persecute me. I will not give them publicity. But they will know they’ve been seen. They will know they’ve been read. They will know the poet has recognized them. And you — who love me, who read my verses, who h...

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...

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...

Saša Milivojev - THE PAIN OF THE WORLD Famous actress  about the poetry of Saša Milivojev Saša Milivojev, the poet, in the bewildering shism between his angelic appearance, the undeniably other-worldly allure, that is in this world of the unsightly in both body and soul, where characteristic ugliness is praised, and where beauty is a thorn in the eye, where hate is obstructing one from seeing deeper than the beautiful surface, hence, in a shism with his unquestionable intellect and sensibility, and the aptness to comprehend the ruthlessness of this world in its entirety. Bravely writing his verses, tearing above all, his own soul, and then the souls of those thoughtful and powerless to change anything, being undoubtedly a minority, in the face of a constant danger of evil that is threatening to devour them. These songs from the quill of the pure and valiant soul, that wishes not to accept the injustice, arose directly from the depths of pain and powerlessness to change anything, s...
