NOTE FROM THE SPEAKER:
Alleged Serb war criminal Radovan Karadzic
was recently arrested after 13 years on the
lam. Far from lying low, he had grown long
hair and a bushy beard and (using a false
name) become a prominent alternative healer
and published journal articles and poetry. What
kind of poetry does a war criminal write?

The Top 9 Radovan Karadzic Poems
9> Inciting violence with my words Was key to starting genocide. The sword was not as mighty as My hateful poison pen-o-cide.
8> Come slay for me and be my thug.
7> It’s good to be in power and to Help your dirty friends, But enemies I care for, too (They’re fun to ethnic cleanse.)
6> ’twas thrilling how the little ones Did gyre and gimble in their graves. And flimsy were the horror gloves, Handy bone rasps and staves.
5> Sweetly wafts the smell High above the chimney tops Napalm in the morn
4> Two roads diverged in a Serbian wood, and I, I took the one without peacekeepers, and that has made all the difference.
3> The Czechs, too, had a poet prez, That Nobel peacenik Havel; But I prefer to use my verse To make my subjects grovel.
2> I have seen the greatest minds of my generation Destroyed by, well, basically by me.
and the Number 1 Radovan Karadzic Poem…
1> I don’t know why you blame me for The Croats and the Serbs And Bosniacs “deciding” to Move out into the ‘burbs?
