sorma

Hiç sorma, ne yerde, ne gökteyim

Bitmez azab, sonu gelmez dertteyim.

Aramışsın, sormuşsun, neye yarar,

Sensiz bir garibim, kara yerdeyim.

 Fist you limit yourself

to your own thoughts and ideas

then you limit the others to the same.

then you are bound by your own potential.

pray that you are not the person in power.

or all else will be bound by your potential.

 As is Courage,

so is fear

-even more so-

contagious.

Therefore,

watch out -yourself-

 It is the heart

and courage -that pierce,

not the spears -they rust.

truth

is
what we all know,
some are aware,
few say and
almost none live.

When pushed as though
it is trumpets sounding,
instead of a drunkard
reli-ving himself;

You wonder of the banqueters,
and what they are thinking.
You get lost -if not pass out-
in the music played to such fine ears
-by the minstrel.

Call it a night and say:
dim the light -for now-

Moved aside -when some,
cranked up robot,
stuck on convictions of the past
pushed through.

Tick -tock.

Quiet here, dead quiet.
Only the humming
from the jumble of cables:
my umbilical cord.
and -piersing it, is-
the old clock on the wall
Ticking.

Plucked my soul
Out of fear

The graveyard of wasted lives
On the gains of a day.

Through the adverse winds
and confused seas,
I tried to keep a straight helm,
wandering from bay to bay
