Quoting Deli_kizin: Quoting AEnigma III:
You would be a bit old for Kadir now though  |
And then they say it is me who is always talking about him  |
Ohh drama!

Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting Müjde: I love this, too.
Even these lines symbolize communist ideology,I like them.
I think the important thing is picking up the beauties in each ideology,religion,culture and belief,and then creating your own ideology. |
I agree. It was very common for poets and artists to have communist leanings during this period in time, probably because their free-thinking and imagination made them more open to new ideas. |
That was a time of oppression and exploitation. A time of dictators. Lions attacked the mice and the poor were subjected to misery and sufferings of the gravest kind.
Communism was proposed as a way out from this quagmire. Its main shortcoming was the fact that communism defended coercion by labourers. In other words, it favoured one class and held the remaining ones as the enemies of the entire regime.
There was an additional group of people who sided up with labourers and they called themselves the illuminated. All their concern was to wake labourers to the reality of communism.
It is because of communism's humanistic, intellectual and equalitarian openings that the artists, writers and poets of the time largely supported that ideal.
On the whole, it was a good theory which was ill-administered by wrong people.

The Walnut Tree
my head foaming clouds, sea inside me and out
I am a walnut tree in Gulhane Park
an old walnut, knot by knot, shred by shred
Neither you are aware of this, nor the police
I am a walnut tree in Gulhane Park
My leaves are nimble, nimble like fish in water
My leaves are sheer, sheer like a silk handkerchief
pick, wipe, my rose, the tear from your eyes
My leaves are my hands, I have one hundred thousand
I touch you with one hundred thousand hands, I touch Istanbul
My leaves are my eyes, I look in amazement
I watch you with one hundred thousand eyes, I watch Istanbul
Like one hundred thousand hearts, beat, beat my leaves
I am a walnut tree in Gulhane Park
neither you are aware of this, nor the police

GONE by N. Hikmet:
Night and snow on the window-panes.
The rails gleam in the white night
reminding you of going
and never coming back.
In the third-class waiting room
a woman is lying,
her feet bare,
a black kerchief round her head.
I walk up and down.
Night and snow on the window-panes.
Inside some people are singing -
a song my comrade loved
so much.
His favourite song,
his favourite,
his-
Comrades, do not look into my eyes,
I am trying not to weep.
In the white night the rails gleam,
reminding you of going
and never coming back.
A woman in a black kerchief
is lying
in the third-class
waiting-room,
her feel bare.
Night and snow on the window-panes.
Somewhere inside they are singing.
