Lament For Now, Longing for Some Real Memories. (SERİES OF GEZİ) Part - 1
(BTW, the deputy of HDP, ÖNDER, he is in prison right now in Turkey)
the first to realize that they began to live with dictatorship is a people began with this For the first time, a people rebelled with all their self-confidence against dictatorship. for the first time we gave the people as martyrs to the dark sand. For the first time a people clamped whatever their political thoughts. All of us were one and all of us ,we were together for the first time in our history. I saved someone who refused my kurdish origin from policemen's hand. And same racist (in words) saved me from policemen's hand at the first time in our total history from ottoman empire. i said racist in '' words'' cause despite they are behaving like racist in the theories, when i was together with them in the same barricade, we agreed with them and hugged. i just realized of that!, we wanted to same thing with the people who i describe themselves as a racists. the only problem between us is capital. Cause The capital had a media and the capital had a political parties, and always those are tried to break our relationship between the people who i described as racists. only the following dialogue is enough to explain all my situation in that time, ME: give me ur hand, policemen are coming. RACİST: (he gave his hand to me and we escaped) ''few munites later, i fell down due to policemen's vehicle's water'' RACİST( i thought, MHP supporter): give me ur hand. ME: okey, lets go behind the barricade. '' after gone to behind the barricade we had more than 2 hour to talk each other'' RACİST: where are u from. ME: i was born in here but im orginally from WAN. RACİST:are you kürd. ME: yes, my dad is kürd. RACİST: hmm, i dont mind whether u kürd or turk, all part of turkey's society is turk and my brother at the point of me. ME: cool, it is nice to hear that, but right now as u can see, it doesnt matter according to policemen where we were came from or something else. they just strangle us to the gas because we rebel against to rullers. RACİST: u are right but i dont like separatist at general. ME: Fuck you and your thoughts, just watch our backs and Let's defend the barricade. both of us standing in gas because of we love this street and this city. RACİST: '' he started to sing non- racist patriotic song.'' ME:'' i was joined him.'' We sang that song against policemen '' would this happen? would this happen ?, would the brothers hit the brothers each other whether kürd or turk ?, goddamn dictator, is this homeland be left for you?'' Anyway this conversation happened on 31 MAY 2013.
on 28 February , the court which closed to power decided to the gezi park might be destroyed.29 MAY 2013
The demolition machines came to the park. upon this the neighborhood people tried to prevent it. The demolition squad were began to demolition at 5.00 AM although t
his time there were a lot of local people against to demolition. At 7.00 AM of 29 MAY, they were a lot of local people got together in the park, demolition squad told, '' we just raise the area of park''. Ofcourse no one believed them. the watch continued until the morning. Around 01.00 PM the demolition squad started to demolition in the park. police attacked local people who were trying to prevent destruction by using gas bombs. the demolition squad destroyed one line of trees except one, one protestor climbed on one tree on first demolition line of tree, and the squad didnt destroyed it. after that the policemen hit him with gas capsule pulled down him and destroyed last tree in first demolition line. with last one, all trees were destroyed by the squad in the first line. Upon this actions, CHP' s and HDP' s deputies came to the park, and they were put their bodies in front of the demolition machines. Afterwards, the demolition squad and policemen forces retreated from the park because of hdp and chp deputies protests. Afterwards HDP's deputy ÖNDER made a statement to turkey's public opinion '' We stopped the destruction of Gezi Park in front of the bucket. If everyone join us, they cannot destroy the park'' afterwards CHP and HDP depuites invited to people of istanbul to the park at 19.00.
30 MAY 2013After invitation of deputies, hundreds of people joined to resistance in the park.there were people from every culture and from every political viewpoint in the park in that time. both of kürd, turk or muslim or atheist or LGBTİ or nationalist even AKP supporters. It was one of the few times we all had unity. originally we just wanted capital not to eat a park which is the symbol of the city. Cause the park just serving to community but the capital wanted to turn the park into the a profit.
HDP deputy ÖNDER made a statement, '' We sprayed the demolition teams today, but they come back tomorrow. The appetite of the neo-liberal system in all of them is insufficient to break down all the forests. It was to create an awareness, which we did. Without the bill of cafe, we can only sit here under the shade of a tree. We are here also defend the right to who throw gas to us.'' As a anonymous protesters's statement '' The AKP regime tried to burn tents we set up in the park at midnight. however when they burned our tents in the midnight, we've thrown them out of the park after they burned our tents with double number of people.''
Afterwards, most of famous artists began planting more saplings than those dismantled in the park. The planting process lasted all day accompanied by concerts.
LOOK, Maybe it would be the most beautiful love poem I've ever written to you. This poem was written for the resistance the park. for me, this poem is the harmony of love and revolution in purest way.
the life was shattered and without love
I found you in the nobility of a belief
I loved you in a beauty of a fight
that fight hasn't finished yet
and it will continue
until the earth's surface will be the surface of love
all the masters of life have said love
to love a beauty with passion
and be able to fight for that beauty
and here are almond floers on your face
smiling soil and spring in your hair
are you that fight in which I loved you?
or are you the beauty of that love?
I found you in the nobility of a belief
I loved you in a beauty of a fight
they trimmed our branches thousand times
they broke thousand times
we are blooming again, we are yielding fruit again
they choked the time with fear thousand times
they killed it thousand times
we are at birth again we are in joy
that fight hasn't finished yet
and it will continue
until the earth's surface will be the surface of love
since the first rivers which we passed
our feet became the feet of waters
our hands are hands of rock and soil
we were growing in the mornings thirsty for rain
we were erected on your towers with ceremonies
we sang songs with the same chord
same sound, same heart
we gave the purple color to the mountains
our youth hadn't been so ravened yet
neither to the sorrow of deaths in sunset
nor to the joy of births in dawn
our call is only to you, Oh nature!
you, creating gravediggers with a hand
and running with midwives in other hand
although we live the beauty of you
that fight hasn't finished yet
and it will continue
until the earth's surface will be the surface of love
palaces, thrones will collapse
and blood will keep silent some day
tyranny will finish
even violets will blossom on us
and lilacs will smile
from todays to the future
only will remain those who go to tomorrow
and those who fight for tomorrows
again will rise the poems
again will rain the feelings
and heart
is on top of the images.
Oh those who say everything has finished
those who eat intimidation on the table of fear
neither flowers which resist on fields
nor the angers which grow huge in cities
haven't said farewell yet
that fight hasn't finished yet
and it will continue
until the earth's surface will be the surface of love
