Every Armenian Knows Very Well
Where is The Taksim Square
The Site for the First Genocide
The skeletons have awakened
With their souls …With their tongues…
After one hundred decades
To tell the world…Taksim Square has owners
Had a Church of Saint Jacob (Hagop) had a hospital
and cultivated Armenian Cemetery
You the fanatic Seljuk-Tatars
You the invaders…slayers…rapist…thieves
Build your parks…your hotels on our flesh
Without caring for the humans’ skulls underneath
Without paying a penny for a huge land
Full of flowers, full of roses, full of old beautiful green trees
Sold the Marbles of Carved Tombs to earn few papers.
Without feeling any shame…In your mind…
In your cyanotic blood…
Feel sin and clean it just once.
After a millennium…
The souls started re-breathing
Revolutions against Tatars are clear…
Raging fires… no-one would silence
Till the lands goes to the real owners…
To our grand-grandfathers…to the Artful Armenians…
Those build your Minarets…un-count
You gencided 1.5 million…
and millions since 11th century destroying our Capital Ani
Was prosperous city on the Silk-way
You continued since then invading and confiscating
On April 24, 1915 on a beautiful spring-sunny-morning.
Young Turks collected our genius literates like animals
From Taxsim square to take and slay them…
Including our composer our Saint Gomidas…
Do you think you carry genes of humanity…?
Never…Never …You are beasts with bloody tongues
Butchery hands…worse than tigers…Those kill but gets satisfied
Your June…Your Spring-Summer will flood with blood
In every spot you collected Armenians
And slayed innocents by your scimitars
Thus no-one will visit the
Three butchers…Three Pashas — Talat, Jamal, Anwar…
Your falsified freedom-less paradise…
Your gendarmes’ worse than Gestapo…worse than KBG…
Who gunned our innocent journalist
Hrant Dink without mercy
Who was carrying the Peace Flag…
Not your red-cloth with a crescent on it looks like a scimitar…
And a star piercing freedom lovers hearts…!!!
You invaded
The land of Cilicia (Kilikia) full of fortresses, domes
Gardens like Eden…s…transformed to ruins…
Now you claim…it’s yours …
You modified half of the 2600 churches to mosques…
and the other half you destroyed
To remove the Armenian cause
Kept Cathedral Aya Sofia to earn dollars $$$$
From the sweat of those who build it for years
I wonder…Is there one god to see
What you and your nation have done…
You left Your Arab-Muslim Countries 500 years behind—
When you entered Baghdad in 13th century you ended
The Islamic Golden Era of Baghdad by throwing books
In Euphrates and Tigris…the famous rivers
You stayed and hanged Arab poets…literates
You never build even one school or even one mosque…
To prove at least you are religious Muslims
Till Arab poet Assad Rustom wrote,
“The sons of Turks you are never Muslims”
The real humans from good genes ‘Appeared Today’
To fight against your cruelty…
Now they can understand what is Armenian genocide…
That was sided out…Through the arranged liars…
Those who falsified history…gave bribes
Through the criminal forefathers of new Sultan.
