A poem on Turkish injustice

After a character in noble prize winner Ivo Andric's novel is impaled alive, the following beautiful poem appears.

Freed from all earthly ties and burdens,

He was no longer a prey to troubles;

No one could do anything more against him,

Neither rifle, nor sword,

Nor evil thoughts, nor men's words,

NOR TURKISH COURTS!
