Please, Above is a poem and Iam including more poems thanks… … Dear Hrant Dink:
“A Gun Can’t Kill a Pen”
I say,
The gun cannot kill a true pen.
Gun will soon rust,
The writing implementation will remain and
Forever, creating new humans.
Your blood is blue ink—
Your Bones are white pens!
Contains Clever, Honest
Armenian DNAs—
Sweetness, sincerity, seriousness—
In every genuine cell stays,
Not to seek any revenge,
Moreover, asking truthfulness!
Your DNA will not go in vain.
Through unfaithful slayers are persisting
lawlessly to slay.
The sound of a scientific brain!
That created
The Armenian newspaper: Agos!
Dink’s last article reads,
“Turkish poisons let them mix with Armenian honest blood.
I am a dove spinning between Turks and Armenians.
Can Turks shun a dove, a sign of peaceful shine?”
As an innocent dove, you gave further proof after nearly a century.
that dreadful genocide was lawfully committed by unmerciful hands.
We ask forgiveness from your perfumed soul to send prayers for one God to stop the criminals From denting innocent lives.
Your funeral day astonished the world.
Humanitarian Turks soulfully confessed their ancestors’ sins
By crying tearfully, chanting from sincere hearts:
“We’re HRANT and we’re
All ARMENIANS” (2007)
Hrant ~ Hrant ~
The Humane ~
Brave ~ Hero ~
Hrant ~ Hrant ~ The Humane ~ Brave ~ Hero ~
He was full of love. They killed him.
He was full of peace. They killed him.
He was full of passion. They killed him …
He was extremely Honest…
They gunned him down He knew he would be killed…
Still, he continued his mission…
He loved Turks to unite with him
with his nation and finally live in peace.
They killed him mercilessly, godlessly…
In their unjust…inhumane, revengive ways …
No one wanted him to die… Even Honest Turks…
Thousands of honest Turkish nations chanted…
“We are all Hrant Dink” at his funeral in January 2007…
Hrant will remain, The Icon of Justice to tell Seljuk-Turks
How and why they genocided 1.5 million innocent Armenians…
And taking all their belongings and their ancient Highlands…
Destroying more than 2400 churches, converting the best ones
to their Tartaric-Seljuk Temples by adding only
a few “Kasukhs”- Naming them Seljuk-Minarets … Shouting from the top…
“Allah Akbar” marsh … Annihilate the ‘Gowers*’ the Armenians!
Written instantly after watching Happy Hrant Dink’s face …
Full of Optimism,
Love… Peace…
Joyfulness…
Written instantly after watching
