All humans have a mother
But all mothers’ fates are different
If you can:
give a bunch of roses on Mothers Day
give her a call on Sunday
visit her often and be with her on Christmas day
So I can say
How lucky you are!
Mother,
Everyone’s mother is an angel …
Mother lives in the heart of a child forever
You are everything for a child
So you are the same for every child
The world will end
Without loving mothers!
Abdurehim Ötkur
translated by Aziz Isa Elkun
The moth in the candle flame
Burns itself bravely
For your beautiful face my love
I would sacrifice myself.
Once you came with a smile
The flower garden was filled with your love
Where have these days gone
Now I have become a wanderer.

Borders
How long is it
since you became a source of conflict?
We all know well you did not exist
before Adam was born
At that time humans were kind
and they knew how to love
So why did humans create you ?
Why are they obsessed with you now?
There are so many wars because of you …
You know
