  1. To Our Knight
    Hrant Dink
    (1954 – Gunned Down, 2007)
    Who can kill such a peaceful human?

    To Our Knight,
    Hrant Dink
    Who had no sword
    Only fingers on pens
    That carved on many
    Khachkars (Cross-Stones).
    Born a Martyr,
    He’s still alive
    With his astrocytes,
    For justice must prevail.
