The accountants of Kosovo
study the figures,
calculating costs.
Serbian dead: Albanian dead.

Serious losses again this year.
The books never balance.

There is never a profit.

We must seek clarification
of corporate objectives,
but how can we
when there are no directors?

Our task is baffling
We can only report
that we are at a loss.

There is no profit.

There is no prophet.
