“I barely escaped Sarajevo in one piece
Chetniks looked directly at my mother
They were eager to kill us like mice
She saw their evil eyes, as cold as ice

They wanted to ensure our extinction
They wanted to plan our demise
But despite their ammunition
We were strategic, clever, and wise

Imagine being in a situation like that
What would you do?
What would you think?
How would you deal with the intensity
Of being afraid to even blink?

Think about people that matter to you most
What if they became like a distant ghost?
What if all your friends, family, and favorite things
Suddenly became birds with clipped wings?”
― Aida Mandic, Justice For Bosnia and Herzegovina

“What is life anyway?
Is it a bridge between thoughts and emotions?
Is it a reflection of brilliant and foolish notions?
Is it a system that provides methods to find roots?
Is it a map of many illusions and absolute truths?

What is life anyway?
Is it a gate to worlds that are not yet known?
Is it a farm where ideas are planted and grown?
Is it a tiny seed that blooms into a beautiful rose?
Is it a time capsule of experiences that you chose?”
― Aida Mandic, What Is Life Anyway?

“Necessity is the brave teacher
Who leads us to brilliant questions
She’s like a determined preacher
Who shares bold insights and suggestions”
― Aida Mandic, Windows To The Soul

“I crave your gentle touch
I crave your firm kiss
And I’m happy we met
You are what I want
Exactly what I need
Follow my lead

I love your hazel eyes
I love your sweet replies
I love your cheerful highs
Such a beautiful man
Who has a simple plan
To make me smile
Bringing laughter
To every ceiling tile
Just follow my lead

I love your hazel eyes
I love your sweet replies
You have a simple plan
To make me smile
Just follow my lead”
― Aida Mandic, Bubblegum Bliss
